Yeah, cheaper for a people to writhe pain, their bodies wracked with unnecessary disease, than to immunize everyone.
Save a lotta money that way.

Any other bright money saving ideas?

Risk assessment: 90% chance of lifelong immunity versus 10% chance of complications.
Or whatever the exact numbers are. I'd say it's worth it.

VAX NEANDERTHAL LOGIC

IRRELEVANCE: Child is long term sick with tetanus.

THEREFORE: Expose your children to any amount of horrific, unknown risks of long term unecessary ailments,
we say,
why? because of tetunus?

no, because some stranger Democrat, you never met,
would never lie to you.

When has a caring, loving Government Democrat stranger EVER lied to you?

ANSWER: You uncaring, stupid dupe as a parent were told often as a child yourself, be skeptical of strangers, especially with toxic needles and their writ of coercion.

REASON: Democrats are embarrassed by the SOUTHERN REAL INVASION bringing disease, vax is our DIVERSION.

And you know, airbags and seat belts add a few thousand dollars per car. We could save a lot of money by not installing them and then just treating the injuries! LOL

I propose this is not possible to find. The media and medical institutions will suppress this info in favor of big pharma.

I very much believe in God and Jesus my redeemer. There are many ethical issues with vaccines too. I’ve spent over 10 years looking into these things before you accuse me of visiting quack sites.

It’s a personal choice and government has no business forcing it down anyone’s necks.

What do those things inject into a child's body?

These parents sound like kooks and are being used anecdotally to smear those that question some vaccines.

And put on your thinking cap and tell us why the illegals in the southern invasion are carrying those so diseases, but Americans weren’t and haven’t for several decades.

Think hard.

The other poster said its better to save the money on vaccines and just treat the sick as diseases spread.
So I came up with a money saving idea as bright as his.

As to smearing those parents, yes, it is relevant that this mom avoids vaccines when doing stitches at home, and then her kid nearly dies, and was only saved by the evil medical industry after spending over a million taxpayer dollars.

They are perfect representations of ant-vaxers with their 1880s medical mentality.

I was obviously being a bit facetious but if you pose a threat to others because of your mindless behavior, there must be consequences.

There are a host of acceptable remedies that can be considered.

I like to work with tools, many of which are sharp, so I get a tetanus booster every ten years. I was grateful for it when I fell on a spike iron fence and impaled my leg. I was already protected.

Vaccines (or any medicinal action!) will cure the vast majority, marginally to partially help a small number, do nothing for a smaller number, maim an even smaller number & kill a much smaller number. That’s reality! Anyone who claims it isn’t is either ignorant,or lying and is possibly dangerous!

Tetanus isn’t one of them.

“It is estimated that tetanus causes 213 000 – 293 000 deaths worldwide each year and that it is responsible for 5–7% of all neonatal deaths3,18 and 5% of maternal deaths globally. ... The highest tetanus risk in Europe is found in the elderly unvaccinated or partially vaccinated population and among injecting drug users.”

No. They aren't. However, people like you and Democrats will use them as the poster family.

Things that make you go Hm.

Democrats push vaccines.
The WHO pushes vaccines
Facebook, Google and Twitter are censoring those that question vaccines and ingredients.
Proclaimed Conservatives join the left.

BS. Tetanus is unheard of in the US because almost everyone is vaccinated. We just don’t see it here. Meanwhile

There are Conservatives that have joined liberals and suggested such. And they ARE serious.

I’m not sure of your supposed math there... For proper comparison, you’d have to go back to statistics from before vaccinations to make the right comparisons and then apply it to our modern medical machine.

For example, it was put forward when measles was effectively a dead disease in the US that it would be far cheaper to simply treat the occasional outbreak than it would be to continue the measles vaccination of all children.

In a way, some parents put that theory to the test by denying their children vaccinations, and we’ve had quite a few outbreaks since then. Each has cost tens of millions of dollars (the one centered at Disneyland supposedly cost just over a hundred million.)

The source material’s assertion that this was the first tetanus bacteria infection treated in Oregon in 30 years (no published report to back that up) would say the math is simple - paying a million to treat this one child vs tens of millions to vaccinate children against the infection - far cheaper to treat one child.

Or it is evidence that the smaller investment to vaccinate children vs the possibly very expensive treatment for the unvaccinated is all the justification the programs need.

I’m not a real supporter of the police state. I’m very much into personal responsibility. The area where I struggle the most is where a person is caring for someone who is unable to care for themselves.

Nope. Tetanus can be given when someone is wounded.

Oh goody, another thread where the patriots and rugged individualists can tell us why vaccination doesn’t work and childhood diseases should be allowed to endanger everyone so they can crow about how they defied the evil goobermint. In other words, stupid ignorant people spreading false, dangerous propaganda for their own evil political purposes.

Vaccines are to anti-vaxxers what the wall is to Democrats.
