Yeah I get it. The hushed up conspiracies.
It’s like super secret Navy SEAL ARMY Ranger guys who served in Vietnam when they were 7 years old I bet.
The cheesehead is trolling this thread. :)
Failed to answer the point and instead went to an absurdity - means I scored.
Oh there’s a scoreboard on this? Whatever makes you feel good about being panicky over something found multiple times to be harmless.
Not really a scoreboard - but if you’re not willing to address facts that undermine your argument, you aren’t really interested in a discussion. Thus, my comment was more for the benefit of others who may happen upon this thread, so the reader can discern the weakness in the “but the studies say XXX” position.
Good luck to you and may you and yours never suffer a vaccine injury.
Researching the dead biologists I came across this
and thought you might be interested.
But...but, Jenny McCarthy said that vaccines cause autism! If a television celebrity says so, it has to be true! Really!
Donald Trump came across as an idiot last night peddling this line of BS, and his opponents (including two MD's) came across as idiots for not calling him on it.
Well, no matter what, vaccines have saved the lives of millions, maybe even hundreds of millions of people.
When I was young I remember seeing people being interviewed on TV - people who could not move, they were in an Iron lung machine.
Who here even remember those beasts?
And whooping cough, diptheria, these were real killers/disablers. We are talking some serious chit here, folks.
Now with that said, I AM NOT running to the drug store to get my flu shot... or anything else.
There are rumours about an Ebola vaccine - I will assess that one if I need to.
Other than that, my immune system hopefully can handle it!
Oh, and BTW, my maternal grandmother walked with a cane and had a limp.
Polio as a child.
Yes, Trump is an idiot for peddling this line of BS but in all fairness, Carson said that the link between vaccinations and autism has been debunked but he didn’t challenge Trump’s idiocy on the topic. Rand? Well I might go to him for a yearly eye exam and a new pair of glasses but nothing more.
The most ridiculous moment was when Trump offered "evidence" for vaccines causing autism: he knows somebody with an autistic kid. That kid was once vaccinated. Therefore vaccines cause autism.
Following his "reasoning": The other day, I drank an iced tea in the morning. Later that day, I tripped and twisted my ankle while putting some things away in a storage shed. Therefore, drinking iced tea causes sprained ankles.
I doubt that Trump is really dumb enough to believe in this crap, he's just catering to a certain base of voters who are paranoid about vaccinations.
As for Carson and Paul, I don't take either one of them seriously as Presidential candidates, but as people with medical degrees, they should have pointed out the stupidity of Trump's statement. The fact that they didn't shows that they're also pandering to the loons on this issue.
