Fact: My kids had their vaccines at birth, and we have not needed to go to the doctor once for anything other than a regular checkup.
Fact: My coworker's wife is one of you nut cases, who refused to let the hospital administer these vaccines. Their children are constantly sick.
Can you guess why we are seeing random outbreaks of old diseases like measles? Is it because the vaccines arent doing their job?
NO!! Its because moron parents dont allow your children to be vaccinated.
But wait, those diseases and pandemics have been long since eradicated, right? Disallow your children from having vaccines, and see what happens. If it goes bad wrong, its 100% on you. Just dont get mad at me because I wont let my little Johnny play with you little Suzy, cause her parents are morons...
Gimme a break people!
Perhaps there may be some trace of a connection between a vaccine and something like diabetes.
1. Has it been 100% Proven?
2. Would you rather have Diabetes, or the Bubonic Plague?edit on 24-4-2012 by TomServo because: (no reason given)

There is one journal posted earlier in the thread about an HiB vaccine, dated around 1999, which talks about the vaccine raising diabetes incidents. It takes years of study post inception to know longterm effects of any medicinal product, but even so, there exists another paper below the journal which statistically proves the case number insignificance.

Good post but you'll have a hard time overcoming the generational brainwashing that Vaccines are good for you and actually work. People do not care about actual facts and evidence. they are more interested in reinforcing their false beliefs then considering they have been fed lies for generations. It doesn't really matter if it is a conspiracy or just misinformation that got out of control there is no evidence that vaccines work period and in fact the evidence points to them actually being a major cause of the diseases they are supposed to protect from and a host of other ailments like autism etc.
But most people won't even look at the evidence including doctors and just repeat the brainwashing mantra. Ask your doctor what his background in vaccine research is? All he is doing is repeating what he was taught he has no background in vaccines and damn sure has not even looked at the data.

And at the risk of alienating a lot of Americans on here, it would be foolish to presume the terrible infant mortality rate in the USA is solely due to vaccinations. There are many other contributing factors - mainly the environment the child is raised in, socio-economic factors and quality of health care.

The weight of evidence supporting vaccination - other than common sense of course - crushes the occasional 'vaccines are bad' reports by a doctor, here or there.

Your entire comment could also be used to describe someone who is arguing AGAINST vaccines.
There are seven billion people in this world - take any viewpoint and you will find at least a small group of people who completely agree, however barmy the premise.
The weight of evidence supporting vaccination - other than common sense of course - crushes the occasional 'vaccines are bad' reports by a doctor, here or there.
If you want to use an example of brainwashing, how about someone who, in spite of overwhelming anecdotal, factual and scientific evidence to the contrary, still believes vaccines are bad cos he read something somewhere.
Not everything is a conspiracy.

It's never nice to have to weigh up whether its worth the risk to your child - but as far as I can see, the benefits far outweigh the risks. We must remember that millions die of easily preventable illnesses in other parts of the world, each year. That shouldn't be justification alone - but i'm sure they would take any vaccine without a moments thought if there was even a chance of skipping a horrible disease.

But forcing certain healthcare is ok, right? What about the government basically forcing everyone TO get immunized? It's ok for the government to do that because THEY say it's beneficial, but you don't like the idea of "forcing others to follow the lead" regarding banning them? Interesting logic.

Rubenstein,
Just to clarify where you stand on a couple of questions regarding your replies to my posts:
Are you stating that nutrition and cleanliness today will prevent the spread of diseases such as polio, smallpox, measles in the United States with no vaccination against them?
If no, then in your opinion how long will it take for the diseases to make a comeback here?
Again, I ask if the U.S. never had mass vaccinations at all, do you believe the number of deaths and disabilities from these diseases would have been more or less compared to deaths and disabilities (confirmed) by vaccinations?

Im sorry, which country are you in that you are "forced" to get immunized?
