I know the antivax movement started with the smallpox vaccination. They claimed that the vaccine was “unchristian” because it came from an animal. For other anti-vaccinators, their discontent with the smallpox vaccine reflected their general distrust in medicine. Some skeptics alleged that smallpox resulted from decaying matter in the atmosphere. People also objected to vaccination because they believed it violated their personal liberty, a tension that worsened as the government developed mandatory vaccine policies. The Anti Vaccination League and the Anti-Compulsory Vaccination League formed in response to mandatory laws, and numerous anti-vaccination journals sprang up. People like Robert Malone could have written some of them.
In the mid 1970 controversy arose over the Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis (DTP) Vaccine. Opposition resulted in a report from the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children in London, alleging 36 children suffered neurological conditions following DTP immunization. The media misled the public in-order to generate readership. Decreased vaccination rates led to three major epidemics of whooping cough (Pertussis).
An outspoken physician and vaccine opponent, Gordon Stewart, published a series of case reports linking neurological disorders to DTP, sparking additional debate. In response, the JCVI launched the National Childhood Encephalopathy Study (NCES). The study identified every child between 2 and 36 months hospitalized in the UK for neurological illness, and assessed whether the immunization was associated with increased risk. NCES results indicated the risk was very low, and this data lent support to a national pro-immunization campaign.
Then there is British doctor Andrew Wakefield, who in 1998, recommended further investigation of a possible relationship between bowel disease, autism, and the MMR vaccine. Is is that time I by chance talked to Temple Grandin about Wakefield’s claims. She blew his crackpot theories out of the water. I have great admiration for her. Wakefield was struck from the medical register in Great Britain and may no longer practice medicine there.
If you have not been informed, the mRNA vaccine is going through clinical trials for various diseases, including cancer. My 98-year-old grandmom is right. The vaccine is a good thing. Only a fool like Robert Malone would think it wasn’t. What an embarrassment!
I’m not an antivaxer.
I refuse to take the mRNA gene therapy treatment.
Not here to argue about this. This should be up to the individual to decide for himself. With Informed Consent.
That has not happened with this so called, vaccine.
Have a good Thanksgiving my FRiend.

Most of those opposing the mRNA vaccines claim not to be against all vaccines just these vaccine. However, one is lead to doubt that claim when one sees these are making the same anti-vaccine claims made through out history.
For example, they claimed the original small pox vaccine would turn one into a cow. Similar to today’s claim that mRNA changes your DNA.
Another example, they claimed the small pox vaccine contained bat feces while now they claim the mRNA vaccines contain poison.
How can you claim not to be anti-vaccine when you make the same claims against all vaccines?
