But they live till 90. ‘splain that.
Seriously?
If you really think that American children are the “least healthy,” try reading up about children in third world countries, notably Africa and Asia. Millions of children per year still die of infectious diseases every year. Although infectious diseases are no longer responsible for most deaths, they are still in the top ten. Much of that progress is directly attributable to vaccines.
Why are you coming to FR to promote the anti-vaccine screeds invented by the left to try to increase the child death rate back to what it was prior to the 1900s and the advent of the vaccine age?
Are you old enough to remember the ravages of polio, whooping cough, measles, mumps and chicken pox? I am
Anti valets.....meh
There is something I don’t understand about this whole debate.
First: I had my kids vaccinated. Didn’t think twice about it. I would do it again. I figure it kept them safe from a number of illnesses and it seemed the responsible thing to do. I’m glad I did it.
But — if my neighbors are the sort who don’t believe in vaccinations, and if they skip the whole thing, and just take their chances ... in what way are they a threat to me or my children? How do they threaten anyone — other than those other people who also don’t believe in vaccinations?
In short: why is vaccination my business? You do or you don’t, right? I don’t think I care.
But a lot of people want Strong Government to FORCE people to put stuff in their children’s bodies. I’m not sure I like the sound of that.
thanks
this is truth and important
Thank God for the vaccines that eliminated polio, TB, ect. ...I’m very grateful.
Anybody who spouts anti-vax sentiments cannot be trusted to be even vaguely rational.
They’re not vaccinated to keep them healthy. There is a whole mother purpose going on there.
Therefore the author is lacking in basic scientific application of principles. And I won't be reading it.
Cause so many in lower incomes are fat as hell like their parents
The science is settled. All the pharmaceutical company scientist have a consensus that all that mercury can not cause any neurological damage. Plus all the same scientists now working at the CDC agree.

This is but one of many articles that notate an oncogenic virus was used to cultivate vaccines and is now showing up in human tumors, specifically brain tumors.
Not to mention, the use of aborted fetal tissue in vaccines has both ethical issues as well as potential safety concerns.
FReepers would be better suited to do their own homework rather than lap government Kool-Aid.
We can discuss how it is excessive to vaccinate for rotaviruses and multiple strains of the flu every year, and how that could train the immune system to respond to proteins and raise the risk of autoimmune conditions.
That said, it is child abuse to NOT vaccinate against debilitating diseases that can still spread through immigrants and world travelers to unvaccinated children: measles, mumps, rubella. It is immoral NOT to vaccinate against tetanus and other serious conditions, leaving your child at risk of death.
Feminists have forgotten why we demanded women have so many children - the average woman in recorded history bore 6-8 children and TWO or three grew up.
That means families lost half to two thirds of their children, damn near all of which was to disease. We ONLY conquered that through immunization and better infrastructure.
