That's exactly the point! Even if a FEW children have become disabled from vaccines, that cannot compare to the MILLIONS (REALLY!) of children who have been disabled and KILLED by the diseases they prevent!
You're trying to mix up the general with the specific. That's ALWAYS going to lead to the wrong conclusion.
For example: I used to be a police officer. I have personally seen the horrible damage that a car accident can cause to a person. Such accidents criple and kill men, women and children every hour of every day in our country.
Those are real, specific occurrences.
Do those specific harms lead us to conclude that motorized vehicles are generally a Bad Thing, and that they should be avoided or outlawed? Of course not.
For one thing, motorized vehicles also save lives every day. The benefits they provide far outweigh even the thousands of lives lost each year.
Similiarly, some cases of children being harmed by vaccines does not lead to the conclusion that vaccination is generally a Bad Thing.
Or do you actually suppose you would happily write it off as a sacrifice needed for the ‘good’ of others? If so, you are much worse than any of the parents you ridicule for not vaccinating. Judging from your many outrageous posts on this subject, I suspect you are either a CDC-brainwashed doctor or pharmaceutical company shill.
Do you allow your children to go outside?
There's approximately a 1 in 500,000 chance that your child will be struck by lightning this year. Do you consider it a sacrifice of some sort to endanger your child by allowing him to go outside?
Do you allow your children to ride in cars?
There's a 1 in 7000 chance that your child will be killed in a car accident. Are you an irresponsible parent for subjecting him to that risk?
The risk to your child and his health is ENORMOUSLY higher from crippling diseases than it is from the vaccinations which would protect him from those diseases!
While I agree in theory that vaccination is a good thing to protect from disease, the problem I have is that it has gone too far, too fast with negative consequences. From the research I have done (and what I have seen), it seems obvious that the dramatic increase in vaccines has corresponded to a dramatic increase in chronic dieseases/problems in children- asthma, food allergies, diabetes, neurological complications and yes, autism. At some point, the developing immune system becomes overwhelmed by the onslaught and problems occur. Even with the evidence, they just keep pushing more and more. Where will it stop? Are we going to vaccinate against everything, and what will be the consequences?. The point is, we don’t know what the long-term effects of this many vaccines is or will be, and you can’t just write-off the evidence that harm is being caused. there does come a point of diminishing returns, and I think we have reached that point. The sad thing is, while vaccines probably have done good in the past, it is the over-reaching and greed and disregard for evidence of harm that is causing so many to distrust ALL vaccines.
My children have been vaccinated, and I have personal experience with the negative consequences. It’s a long story, but I have seen the effects myself and I know they are real. I also know a doctor who (with several nurses) got out of general practice because he could no longer deny what he was seeing and live with himself for being part of it. He got into an alternative practice to help those harmed by vaccines and their effects. The waiting list to see him is over 4 months.
