Are you Anti-Vaxxer or Pro-Vaxxer and why? (government, rates, religion)

Has the flu vax saved a lot of lives? I don't know, it seems it's really difficult to get that year's strain right.

Chicken pox? Waste of time, IMHO. You just have to get a booster and we don't know when exactly the vax wears off.

Vaccines are the number one health advancement in the history of the world. People no longer have to die of

Smallpox
Diphtheria
Measles
Mumps
Pertussis
Polio (paralytic)
Rubella
Congenital rubella syndrome
Tetanus

Tuskegee Airmen. He's not defaming the military, he's stating an absolute truth.

The immunity from vaccines is just like the immunity from getting the infection. You just do not have to get sick to become immune.

That's not true. That's why you have to have "boosters" with vaccines.

If you get chicken pox, you're done, you don't have to keep up with boosters.

If you got the vaccine instead of having the disease, you have to get boosters, and it's appearing it's as early as 7 years after the vaccine.

So kids who were vaxxed for chicken pox started getting the disease 7 years after having the shot. Because it wore off.

Would you blindly eat every type of seafood because someone told they were all good and exactly the same?

Or would you do your own homework and make individual decisions on a case by case basis?

Provaxx is like saying we understand science and want to protect our children from devastating but preventable diseases.

I’m in the middle about this just because said shot has helped 100 people doesn’t mean it will help everyone.
My wife’s an licensed herblist and I’m more likely take what she gives me first. As I have stated before I have been military contractor in the past and there’s no way no in hell I’m going to get any more shots. If not TRULY needed.

Once again if said vaccination works don’t worry about the rest of us.

So? Easy fix. Get a booster just as we get tetanus boosters every ten years.

As to the flu vaccine...most have thimerosal, which contains stuff I don't want injected into my body on the chance that out of hundreds of strains of flu, the 3-5 strains covered each year are going to be the one going around. Now, if it covered 90%, maybe...besides, I've only ever gotten the flu one time. It was bad and it was right after getting the vaccine....the one time I got the shot I got sick as can be.


Also, the flu numbers are greatly inflated. Doctors often say flu, but only less than 20% of cases sent to lab confirm flu...the rest are usually common cold.

Agreed!

I kind of thought that but wasn't 100% sure so I worded my answer as such.
