Dear Abby: My anti-vaxxer son won’t take his sick young child to a doctor. Is it neglect?

Correct, they do NOT need vaccines. It’s the wicked cabal of government and pharma (ie sorcery) inflicting this toxic stew on society for their own monetary gain and control.

Childhood vaccines now number 90. 90! Let that sink in. Have all interactions been tested?

Every child need some vaccinations, but the pro-vax crowd would have you taking a dozen vaccines every day of your life.

I have not kept up with vaccine development, but if the vaccines today are mRNA engineered without long term trials (5 year minimum)safety and efficacy proven results, I would opt out. How can anyone make an informed decision without seeing verifiable results of long term trials. If anyone needs proof of the importance to long term trials, just look to the havoc EUAs - emergency use authorizations - did in the Covid fiasco.

I agree with you that we take too many. At most, there are probably 5 or 6 diseases that we are better off vaccinating for than not. But that vaccination schedule is over a period of 3 or 4 years.

However, the vaccination crowd looks at vaccinations like it’s their only tool.

The problem here, if this story is true, is not really the anti-vax position, but a failure to take the kid to the doctor. The problem is likely to be some sort of bacterial infection, like bronchitis or pneumonia. Or some other cause for recurrent fever syndrome. Been there, done that.

The diseases standard vaccinations prevent are quite rare in the US, because of herd immunity.

The massive antivax campaign against Covid vaccines has strengthened the position of antivaxxers when they advocate against other vaccines.

Antivaxxers have always been a public health threat. They used the pandemic to increase their scope. More parents are trying to avoid vaccinating their children than ever, and preventable outbreaks are happening as a result.

severe cough and fever on and off for close to two months

I remember when my son was going to kindergarten I had coughs and fevers on and off for six months or so. Just when I was getting better he would come home with another cold or sniffle, and I got the next round of crud being incubated by the 5 year old germ factory.

And you disovoer when you tank your son to his doctor at an HMO for colds and flue they get kind of shirty with you, like this is what happend when you have kids. They grow out of it. But other than tell you to give fluids, tylenol and bedrest there isn't much they can do unless you whine about anti-biotics so you can help generate the next round of antibiotic resistant bactrial infections.

I advocate being anti-stupid

I am pro-vaccines that do not have gigantic upticks in deadly side effects and that actually prevent the disease from spreading throughout whole populations.

I am against ineffective so-called "vaccines" that have very short lived protection at best. Have a gigantic uptick in deadly side effects and which despite very wide usage utterly failed to prevent the disease from spreading to everyone.

You seem to be taking the pro-stupid position by equivocating between the two.

I don’t think it’s possible to make an accurate diagnosis of a possibly fictional child’s illness based on a secondhand description of “a severe cough and fever on and off for close to two months.”

Did the smallpox vaccine really eliminate SmallPox?

This is a very interesting documentation of the success of that vaccine, may surprise you when you consider some real facts.
