You are foul.
“By your logic, I can simply disprove your contention that vaccines are dangerous in any way by pointing out MY kids had none, and got ALL their vaccinations.”
I mean MY kids had no complications.....
It’s those vaccines I had as a kid, messing up my concentration......
“You are foul.”
You are a fool. Get your kids their shots.
The problem is that the “crippling disease or worse” that you site, is often a result of vaccine side effects. And when it occurs, which isn’t often I do admit, it is typically very severe and life changing (or life ending).
I don’t blame the vaccines I had as a child for my poor grammer, its just poor editing skills.
Hell no. Also, my girls will not be getting the teen STD shot.
“There are others I think it’s wise to get and some that I think is just over kill.”
Agreed - especially on Chicken Pox....
“The only point I am opposed to in the vaccine issue if the making it mandatory part.”
Well, if it were entirely voluntary, I think we can agree that many many kids would go unvaccinated.
There is some role for government here, I reluctantly admit.
There aren’t huge profits in vaccines in the US, so I reject that as a motive....
“I don’t blame the vaccines I had as a child for my poor grammer, its just poor editing skills”
I’m just teasing about that.......I got your point...but maybe vaccines cause spelling errors???.
Your point about side-effects is one worth discussing. Complications for, for instance, the polio vaccine are vanishingly small, but the complications for getting the disease are common enough to create a huge societal burden.
To worry about something bad that risks one in a million, so you subject yourelf to something just as bad that risks one in a thousand is just plain ignorance.
Wrong again, FRiend. Getting the disease does not actually confer long-term immunity. Shingles is adult-onset chicken pox. Lots of people get it who had chicken pox as kids.
And Hep B is not only something IV drug users and fags get. Anyone who is exposed to infected blood or fecal matter can get it, like at your local fast food joint, grocery store, or school.
Ingestion won't do it, and ordinary hand-shaking or even saliva won't, either. For HepB, it has to be directly from one person's blood to another—hence the specialized nature of the infected population.
