I'm stunned that vaccination is even an issue. so even if there is the SLIGHTEST chance that vaccines cause ADHD and autism, you'd rather them risk dying from measles and spreading it to other children?
-
My mum wouldn't let me have one when I was seven because she saw a story that a boy died after having a vaccine.

theres people that die from eating peanut butter. does that mean peanut butter is dangerous for everybody? no, it just means that some people have a sensitivity to it. Doctors prescribe medication on the idea that "the benefits outweigh the risks". That sentence is on every prescription drug. Or should we put everyone at risk for disease because a very small minority have adverse side effects.
-
But people who are sensitive to peanut butter generally know they are before they ever eat enough of it to kill them, they avoid it.
She was sure I was one of those sensitive children that could have a serious effect from it. She even thinks I was different after the ones I had when I was a baby/toddler. Diseases aren't very common in the west so why take the risk of a vaccine if you believe it could do that? -
Diseases aren't common in the west because we VACCINATE AGAINST THEM. It's such a confounding argument.
-
Yes I thought you'd say that. They're almost eliminated now so why still take them? How about that?
-
I see you didn't have anything to say about the rest of what I said.

If a couple people die because they have extreme and rare allergies so millions are protected from crippling illnesses, their deaths don't matter.
And those diseases aren't yet gone, because of anti vaxxers there was a measles outbreak recently. And there are constantly more and more epidemic threats, diseases are mutating, and diseases are getting worse as we get better at fighting them.
There are new flu vaccines every year because the flu has many different strains. And these are general flu vaccines, they target a vast number of flu strains which are similar.
There are illnesses like HIV which mutate so fast that there aren't any (last I heard) vaccines for it.
Diseases constantly change, and as long as 1 person has them they could become an epidemic and mutate and adapt for situations which they failed to fight last time.
Heck, forget 1 person. Diseases spread from animals to humans all the time. And as soon as they reach humans they can go global. Heck, SARS had spread all over the globe before it had a name.
Disease evolution is like animal evolution on steroids. Errors in reproduction are incredibly common, and as soon as an error happens a new strain can happen that is immune to the previous vaccine, it might spread faster, it might be more severe. Mutations happen more when more people have an illness making epidemics even worse. -
If a couple people die from extreme allergies it doesnt matter.
If a couple people die, it doesnt matter.
Lol -
this is one thing I actually agree with bob on.
-
In the long run a couple people dying really doesn't matter when the consequences of not doing the thing that kills them results in many more deaths.
-
peanut products are not allowed in school because people of people who are allergic.
-
Peanut allergies are much more common the kind of extreme and rare allergues (assuming they actually exist) I am talking aboutm

Back in elementary school there was this new kid that was aletgic to peanuts so no more peanuts were allowed at lunch or even in ice cream. Which really pissed everyone off.
