Yes, I understand. The point of the question was to see if you're a parent then you can relate to the agony of trying to choose what's best for your child with information flying from all sides. Decision making becomes so much more difficult being a parent, and for me it is certainly not so cut and dry.
I'm sorry to hear about your family member.

Do you have children OP?
I personally had a family member waste away after a vaccine. Perfectly healthy beforehand, living happily.
I do have children and it is them who I want to protect most of all, as children have such incredibly reactive immune systems. Every immune system is different, they are unpredictable, but especially those of children

I just keep articles I find to reread them sometimes if they need secondary research then clean out the favorites folder where they pile up like cord wood if not deleted. I have no reason to save evidence, I'm not doing this to gain fame, I'm researching to find cures for things. If you get caught up in having to protect your knowledge it gives you less time to learn new things that add to your knowledge.

Let's see, we should all be locked up in an institution for thinking differently. Wow, that's quite the facist vision of utopia!
As for banning, I would at least like to see that they are not "compulsory". Let people make an informed decision. There have been recent news articles here on ATS of people being put in prison for "denying their children healthcare" and children being taken away from their parents directly after birth against the parent's will.

Please do not talk about vaccinations hampering the human body's natural ability to ward of viral/ bacterial infection. Unless you hold a degree or are pursuing one in microbiology, speculation of the adverse side effects of vaccinations becomes a haven for media nerds. The only reason a body can naturally fight off infection, is if the pathogen in question is easily overcome by the the body's innate, then adaptive immune system or the body remembers a previous encounter and initiates the adaptive response. In both cases, the body recognizes key elements of the invading pathogen called antigens and formulates a counter attack by producing complimentary antibodies to disable the antigen. So when a human host becomes infected with parts of a virus/bacteria (antigen), the body reacts and remembers so it may prevent/ reduce another similar infection.

A voice of reason. Thank you. Somebody else who also knows how vaccines work as opposed to viewing them as some kind of poisin.

But the flu shot that is up in the air my son got that and still had the flu twice. But I think separating the shots more will help also. live love learn

When concerning health issues fearmongering and speculation should be put aside. Disagreements about ufos, ghosts, religion and politics don't bother me. But when people are sending their kids to schools and daycare without vaccinations that is sending us down a dangerous path that we don't have to be on. If there is anyone conspiring to depopulate the planet the anti vaccine crowd will help them achieve their goal. If we stop vaccinating they could just sit back and watch us take ourselves back to the dark ages.

Is banning them too much? Too extreme?
