It’s a tough controversy because part of freedom is having the right to believe and do something stupid.
But the other side is that this is a public health issue, it’s not just confined to the individuals involved. Vaccines work by herd immunity as well as for the individual. Someone who contracts a disease that is normally kept in check by vaccination can infect someone who is immunity compromised, whose vaccination didn’t take, or is too young to be vaccinated.
Crazy idea that you can mandate people to take injections to help those for whom their own injections did not take.
Vaccines case death. Sure, it’s rare. But how can you be commanded to risk that for your child, to help a third party? It is unconstitutional. Herd immunity is total bull.
Very few vaccines last lifelong. If 100% of children were vaccinated in Townsville, the Townsville people from 15-95 would have all different levels of immunity, from 70% to probably a lot at 0%. The kids themselves, some would not have complete immunity.
If an unvaccinated person came to town Sick, then either there is no risk because vaccines are perfect, or there would be a risk and people would get sick.
The #1 problem with vaccines is the amount given at once. The combo vaccines increase the chance of serious permanent or fatal side effects exponentially. You cannot get a pertussis vaccine or a measles vaccine in the USA without them being combined in dangerous multi vaccines.
The #2 problem is the tender age of the recipient and his or her gut biome. It isn’t ready for the immune adjuvants and the the rest of the ingredients, they can’t be tolerated well, and neurological changes will take place. How bad will the changes be? That might depend on each child’s own genes and on what his immune system is doing at the time.
Autism is looking more common than they say, to me I’d say one child in 30 rather than one in 60. Mostly males. I wish we would give our little men a better chance at a neurotypical life. I’m raising both kinds of young men, and neurotypical is better. It really makes life easier to have more command over your brain and emotions.
I’d like to stop all vaccines before the age of two, as they do in Japan, and then make each disease’s vaccine available singly. So that parents could choose which diseases they’d like their child to catch and be forever Immune to, and which they’d like to avoid for a while, with the unavoidable risks a vaccine brings.
Yes. The issue defies a simple answer.
