Not talking about COVID here, routine childhood vaccines


https://www.newsweek.com/2021/10/15/...paign=Recovery

In all, some 22 percent of Americans now identify as "anti-vaxxers," defined as people who support vaccine refusal and "embrace the label as a form of social identity," according to a report by researchers at Oklahoma State University, Texas A&M University and others, published in the journal Politics, Groups, and Identities. Underscoring concerns of public health experts, the study also found identifying as an anti-vaxxer to be predictive of increased opposition to childhood vaccine requirements.

Are these fools, along with an influx of non vaccinated illegals and open travel, going to make once (almost) eradicated diseases like mumps, measles, polio, tetnus and others back to decimate another generation of kids?


why should children suffer because of their parent's stupidity??????????

Polio was wiped out in the U.S., but our non-existent southern border has allowed polio infected illegals to enter the U.S., along with them bringing other diseases like Chagas, Tuberculosis, Leprosy, etc.

We need to seal the borders, and legal immigrants need to undergo mandatory medical examinations/testing before being allowed to enter the U.S. -- common sense.

The insane push for everyone to get the Covid vaccine or else has led to more people in general questioning other vaccines as well. Congrats to the mandate pushers for this.

Don’t unvaccinated US residents returning from overseas need to do the same? The large measles outbreak in NY a couple years ago started when an unvaccinated child traveled to Israel and brought back measles to the largely unvaccinated Orthodox Jewish community.

Measles rears up in homeschooling communities and Waldorf schools with disturbing regularity. When my husband was traveling a lot for work, his doctor recommended that he have a measles booster. Anybody who was born before 1968, when the current live virus vaccine was introduced, should check with their doctor about receiving a booster.

I am not a medical professional, but it would seem to me that childhood diseases would be more likely to make a comeback if their immunity is shot (not pun intended) due to the COVID vaccines killing their immunity to not only COVID, but possibly to other viruses and diseases, as well, which I have read that some people with advanced degrees have said. IF these people are correct, we are looking a horrific situation regardless.

Again, I have almost no medical or science training, so the above might very possibly be ridiculous.

Can't expect nice things like secure borders with a mentally ill POTUS...

You need to cite these "advanced degree" people. All the COVID vaccine is tell your cellular proteins to make an antigen that mimics the COVID virus structurally. And your immune system responds in kind by making antibodies that are effective against COVID.

The idea that the COVID vaccine could blow up your immune system is in need of some serious elaboration.

It's become clear they won't give this up, and the harder they push, the more pushback they will get. This will be a fun fight. Demanding masks and booster shots for the next decade. They are going to spur the collapse of the global economy and civilization as we know it because they want to be Karens.

That's alright, as long as the central bank printing machine gives them money to keep sitting around at home in covid quarantines, they won't care until the grocery store shelves are empty. The number of deaths as a result of their over-reaction and nanny state mentality 'could' dwarf the number who die of covid.

If they just shut their mouths and let people make their own choice, within a year or three, once the mRNA vaccines are more proven, or other vaccines have been approved that aren't mRNA, they'd probably have pretty much total voluntary compliance anyways, or herd immunity. They achieve absolutely, and I MEAN ABSOLUTELY nothing, with these dictatorial mandates. NOTHING. The cons vastly outweigh the pros.

As for masks, you will never, EVER get total population compliance to wear masks for the rest of our lives. EVER. Wake the hell up and use your brains. You're going about this all wrong, democrats. You don't understand human psychology at all, you just want compliance. Well you're not going to get it. The more they cancel culture, the more they lie on the media, the more they censor, the more they break their own rules, the less people trust them. It's all going to blow up in their face.
Repped you.

Btw, has anyone else noticed the number of posters who are bringing up the possibility of other causes of deaths indirectly due to COVID?

It might be that the population will end up being reduced, even if the conspiracy theorists are wrong if it gets to the point that there won't be enough people willing to process food for low wages or being forced to get vaccines they don't want, which I have read MIGHT cause some truckers to do their jobs.

Again, only time will tell exactly how big of a disaster is ahead. Maybe many people are just a bunch of Chicken Littles and paranoid fools.* Maybe not.


*And this could apply to those in favor of vaccine mandates and to those opposed.
