Key findings of the study include these:
The more likely someone is to believe in the false association between the use of the MMR vaccine and autism, the less likely that person is to use a Zika vaccine;
People who believe in the ability of science to overcome problems were more likely to intend to use a Zika vaccine;
People who believe that Zika causes the birth defect microcephaly (which is accurate) and those who believe Zika is likely to cause death (which is inaccurate) were more likely to intend to vaccinate;
People who were engaged in behaviors to protect against Zika were less likely to intend to get the vaccination — which “may be the result of their confidence that their actions pre-empt the need to be vaccinated,” the researchers said.
The researchers said the study has practical and theoretical implications. Once the Zika vaccine exists, health communicators will have to cope with “vaccine hesitancy” and anti-vaccine communications. The research also adds evidence to the need for health communicators “to address a spill-over effect from misbeliefs about one vaccine on intention to use another.”
The bogus association between the MMR vaccine and autism has been disproven in numerous studies. However, the argument is still prominent among people who oppose vaccinations. “Scientists often look at the effect of misinformed beliefs about the MMR vaccine on people’s intention to vaccinate children with the triple vaccine, but they don’t as often look at the dangerous spillover effects that these misbeliefs can have,” said Ophir,
So many FReepers who clearly see the govt can’t be trusted blindly trust that human infants with no immune systems yet of their own should be injected with compounded primitive products because the government says so. This is one other science the government ignores. Multiple injections of primitive concoctions into babies is neurotoxic even to infants that don’t “show” the toxicity for decades.
The study of medicine came with an important caveat a couple thou years ago. “First, do no harm.”
I'm really furious at the antivax crowd for forcing the Lyme Disease vaccine off the market. It is one of the safest vaccines, and better tested than most. It's the same vaccine they continue to give to dogs.
But the antivax wackos claimed it "caused autism". The vaccine was called LYMErix and developed by GlaxoSmithKline. But rather than fight the idiots GSK just said to hell with it and pulled it off the market.
Lyme Disease is a debilitating chronic disease that mimics severe arthritis and many people are never ever cured of it fully.
Lyme disease mostly affects people in red states— flyover country. Outdoorsmen, farmers, surveyors, loggers, construction workers, campers, hikers, hunters, and fishermen. These millions, and millions of people are essentially considered "disposable deplorables" in the eyes of liberals and antivaxers
But they consider homosexuals (1% or 2% of the population) with their plethora of STDs, HIV, and other exotic preventable infections to be top priority for vaccines and pharmaceutical dollars.
No needles my entire life and I am healthier than you ever will be. :-)
Now they have a vaccine for everything except hang nails. You have a better chance of getting eaten by a shark than getting the Zika virus.
LIARS LIARS LIARS LIARS LIARS
the vaccine industry. Yes INDUSTRY is PURE EVIL
it’s do gooders from HELL and worse
It’s PROFITS OVER LIVES
think I’m kidding ?
Why do they have to keep pointing out these articles ?
Why do they FORCE you to do it ?
Do you know there are now 132 “vaccines”. Now ? Of which they’re trying to make 27 MANDATORY ?
do you know there’s a 3 BILLION dollar fund to pay off and silecnce the ooor parents whose children’s lives we’re taken from them or ruined forever ?
Question. Did autism exist pre 1980s ? No
Let’s see what can go wrong injecting foreign DNA adjuncts preservatives and other poison directly into the bloodstream of infants and small children ?
I WILL TAKE KN THESE EVIL MONSTERS UNTIL THE DAY I DIE
ONE HUNDRRED TEO HUNDRRED A THOUSAND AT A TIME
