If you wish to live your life as though you live away from society and alone in the desert...
maybe you should just move out to the desert?

Another irrational statement.. In respect to vaccines, people who vaccinate themselves with flu shots that don't work, or stick their kids with 60 shots as the 'schedule' mandates, should feel nice and safe. Why worry about those who choose not to pollute their bodies or those of their children. Think it through, what you are saying makes no sense whatsoever.

Vaccination IS NOT immunization. Vacines DO NOT provide true herd immunity and they love to tout. Again, there is merit to vaccine science. Noone is saying there is no possible benefit there. However, take the polio argument for example. Do you realize that polio was nearly irradicated way before they invented the polio vaccine. Know why? Living conditions improve, nutrition improves, the immune system does its job. A large percentage of the occurances of polio in the world happen because of unsanitary conditions (polio is contracted through contact with feces and various conditions as a result of poverty etc. etc.) and mostly because of the vaccines themselves. It happens in countries where companies like Merck can export their tainted vaccines with zero recourse. Most of these vaccines are not neccessary and introduce a serious risk especially to an infant. It compromises a developing immune system. People who claim that vaccines irradicated any disease is selling something (namely, vaccines). This is the last thing I'm going to say on this topic anyhow. Do some research not written and/or funded by the FDA or Glaxo or the AMA (combined the medical industrial complex) because don't be fooled, think about their business model, and tell me how healthy people are good for their business. You really think they want to CURE anything. Think again!

^Well said!!! I try to open people’s minds, but most are stuck in their irrational ways, believing whatever garbage the main stream media feed them.

I fully agree.

The fabricated vaccine scare has done nothing but brought disease back into our communities like measles.

The myth of vaccines causing autism has been debunked thousands of times by the scientific and medical communities yet the "black helicopter" conspiracy crowd continues to ignore overwhelming evidence in favor of not vaccinating children thus bringing once all but eradicated diseases back into society.

If you do not vaccinate your children they have no place in public places where you not only put their health at risk but mine and my families as well.

Let's get back to the OP please. There is a health forum here - //www.city-data.com/forum/health-wellness/ where one can discuss the pro's and con's of immunizations.

Posts after this one will be deleted and infractions may be given for hi-jacking a thread.

Apparently no one, including the OP, can stay on-topic and local.
