Thank You! I wish more people would look at this issue rationally. If vaccines work, the unvaccinated pose no risk to anyone except to other unvaccinated. (Who knowingly accept the risks.) If they do pose a risk to the vaccinated, it really doesn’t matter because vaccines don’t work. I also really hate the all or nothing viewpoint. Like ALL vaccines are absolutely necessary and skipping or selectively delaying any means you are an anti intellectual troglodyte.

Please explain to me why my new born needs to be protected against Hep B. Try to make the case that any child under 10 NEEDS this vaccine or somehow poses a risk to others for not having it. You cannot.

Varicella. Why do children now NEED to be vaccinated against chicken pox? Is it truly necessary or is it a convenience? If it is a convenience why should anyone who wants to forego that convenience be castigated for doing so? If I want to wait for my child to get this vaccine later in life and would prefer for them to possibly get chicken pox and have a better immunity how is that wrong?

Gardasil. Protects against ONE strain of cancer causing HPV. ONE. There are over 100 strains. There are 4,000 deaths per year due to cervical cancer. 4,000. That barely registers as a statistic, but my daughter (and soon my son) HAVE to have this? They have to play russian roulette with their health for this? I think it is far more likely that this “must have” vaccine is a must have due to lobbying and not to sound science.

All you need to know is that even ‘intelligent’ people are fundamentally nutso.

Don’t trust anybody. Don’t listen to anybody. Do your own thinking. Always...
