Anti-Vaccine/Vaccination Movement

[xelement5x]

Is anyone else seriously concerned about the current trend of people not vaccinating their children? 

The whole premise that decades of science are being voluntarily abandoned because people are afraid of unproven (or disproven depending on what you read) effects really worries me.  I've got a kiddo that's almost 2 and has been vaccinated up to her age group, but the kind of things that are happening now like with the Disneyland outbreak seem crazy for this day in age.

If peeps don't want to get their kiddos vaccinated, I'm okay with it as long as they stay the f*ck home.  Don't put others at risk.

It was some now debunked report that vaccines were causing autism that got all this anti-vaccination hysteria/paranoia/alarmism/propaganda/fear-mongering started. Then media figures like Jenny McCarthy repeating/believing it as well, etc.

This calls for Penn & Teller's excellent easy123 presentation to combat it!

Utter destruction in an argument, hands down. Heh-heh.

Agreed-

[Dicer]

Anti-vacs should be fined, and then if they don't comply jailed Plain and simple...

Also un-inoculated kids shouldn't be allowed to school, shoot em up and then let them in.

It sounds harsh, but it's a pretty important thing, loudmouths screaming BUBUBU Autism, can f*ck right off.

I got all my shots as a kid and I turned out semi-normal.


Just my .02 as always

Penn & Teller's Bullshit - Vaccinations

Utter destruction in an argument, hands down. Heh-heh.

That is f*cking awesome!

I got all my shots too and look how I turned out.  There's always a downside.

This issue saddens me because, honestly, the kids will suffer (if exposed).

If there was a god, the parents would be the ones to suffer for their poor parenting.

Whoops, it's the right link now. There's opposition to that Penn & Teller presentation too...

This. Too bad there isn't one, because these unchecked idiots are starting to worry me.

If the vaccine works, and your child is vaccinated, how are they at risk around unvaccinated children?

My 2nd born had his first course of immunisation today at 7 weeks old. Boy did he scream the doctor's surgery down. Reminds me mine are out of date now.

minecraft causes autism not vaccines.

that explains why we've not seen you around the 'phile chat much lately. Congrats, and condolences. Seriously...  vasectomy. You can thank me later. Ask joshuaturbo if you don't believe me.

thanks pal. Yes busy times. I'm doing the 2am feed right now. Also no balls chop.

From what I have read:

About 3 percent of fully vaccinated children do not develop a lasting immune response. They have low blood titers and are not protected against measles. If exposed, this group will likely get the illness.

Also, while I am chiefly concerned about my child's safety, they safety of other children is not something I would just shrug off despite her getting the vaccine already.

This whole issue is easily explained. Science scares people, well, retarded people anyway, so said retards put their trust entirely in god instead of sound science. While they mean well, the fact is all sorts of people die from all sorts of shit, and God aint riding a magic f*cking rainbow down to earth to save stupid people from themselves by curing their f*cking flu, measles, HIV, HPV related cancer, etc. I am fine with all of this. The earth is over populated anyway.
