No it’s not. I don’t vaccinate my child and autism was not the reason behind it, other health issues were. I will never understand the conservatives that believe everything they are told about vaccinations from big government, big insurance, and pharma backed doctors.
Measles are not 100%, and even with herd immunity there are still break outs at nearly 100% immunity (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16322148)
We are in Orange County, California, where there is also currently a “measles outbreak” I don’t remember 10-14 cases...guess what, every one of them has been in contact with someone who has flown in from the Philippines.
Yes, but with good herd immunity, kid no. 2 is less likely to get it from kid no. 1, since those who have it will be sparsely scattered about the community.
Surely oil soaked rags aren’t a fire hazard as long as we never put a flame to them.
People believe vaccines work because there’s literally over a century of practical experience proving they work. We didn’t eliminate these diseases by shear happenstance.
If folks don’t vaccinate their kids then when they get sick and die it’s their fault their kid died. The occasional toddler who was too young to get vaccinated that dies because of their foolishness is too high a price to pay though for it.
herd immunity is a myth. people are more at risk to get the flu if they get the flu vax.
It is a mystery, the backlash from people who trust this medical community. I will never understand it.
I will never understand the people who ignore mountains of evidence about the safest, most effective medical intervention ever invented. It would be one thing if only your children were at risk from your refusal to protect them, but you are endangering other people's children. And I don't think those other people are very happy about that.
Similar deal with us. One of our kids has very odd health issues and she doesn't react well to vaccines of various types. We got her most of them, but we spread it out over a much longer period. We also extended out the schedule by quite a bit for our other kids when they were babies. No sense in pummeling a little baby's system with so much crap all at once.
I will never understand the conservatives that believe everything they are told about vaccinations from big government, big insurance, and pharma backed doctors.
Yep. If the Health Dept. told us the sky was blue, most people here would look outside to check, but they buy this stuff without question.
