Fine. False statistics. 36 die every year. I’ll go you better and say 200 die every year. Without vaccines it is estimated that millions die, certainly hundreds of thousands. THose are not good odds.

How about this analogy; you need a surgery to save your life. Without it you are likely to die (say 10% survival without 98% survival with surgery), but there is a 2% chance the anesthesia will kill you (ridiculously high chance). By this reasoning over vaccines you forego the surgery.

No one gets the vaccines all at once. Even when you enter the service they stretch them out over your initial training. Any doctor giving them all at once risks his license.

It would have been a better parody if the doctor said that tens of millions of children get hit by trucks every year yet can still walk.

It would have been better if the writer had studied a little and understood what parody, satire, and irony are and how they differ. But as they are likely a product of the public school system we get this.

If his mother hadn’t hit him with his TOY TRUCK, he wouldn’t have gotten bruised.

There was no mention of them being done all at once. Just not going with combination-vaccines was the topic I was addressing.

I think they go with combos on kids because there are so many things that can hit them early.

wouldn’t a simple alergy pretest be logical? My nephew had a stroke from anesthesia at 2 years old. His condition has a high rate of that and no pretesting was done. He now has the intelligence of a five year old and is 24.

You have the logic wrong. It's not the number of deaths from measles that should be used here, but the total number of deaths from all causes.

The number of expected reports would be determined by a combination of the total vaccinations and total deaths. There'd be a lot of reports of deaths that were not caused by the vaccine, but just coincidental in time.

Since kids get a lot of vaccinations these days, almost any death of a child should get reported, barring those caused by car accidents and other such obvious causes.

“I hear you. I know people who can walk down the street of their old neighborhood and point to homes and apartments where people died from many things that are now very rare.”

No doubt that is very true. On the other hand I have people all around me dying from cancer which USED to be very rare.

“Just talk to any graduate of high school today. They are as dumb as stumps.”

The university graduates can’t pass an eighth grade final from their grandfather’s time.

But you are not vaccinating against all deaths, you are vaccinating against contracting measles,in my example. To consider all deaths would be misleading as to the cause. And to say they died because they had the vaccine is misleading unless they in fact died from the vaccine. Having the vaccine and dying may be a coincidence It is a bit like saying all dead children had milk, so milk is somehow responsible. More to the point, the number of deaths from an ailment not vaccinated against is far, far higher than for those vaccinated no matter the cause of death of those vaccinated.

Certainly all deaths are reported, unless it is a kidnap murder.

I’ve got no dog in this hunt, but I assure you this is incorrect, or may have changed since my time. I will alway remember San Antonio, 1984, lining up with the flight and walking by seven different nurses, each one administering a vaccine. Didn’t matter if you were current. You got it. Was a pain to lift my arms that week.

I mean “What disease killed them?” Was it Vaccinosis or something?

OK Everyone got all the shots at once. How many service men are we talking about? And how many died?
