Utter nonsense.
1) The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program does compensate anyone who is injured by a vaccine. In fact, they compensate everyone who can even make a reasonable CLAIM that they’ve been harmed. You don’t have to prove anything. And yet, they pay out one claim per million vaccines given. So your chances of having any injury are somewhat less than one in a million.
2) The industry is immune from lawsuits because in the 1980s, anti-vaxxers nearly ran all vaccine makers out of business with lawsuits about fantasy injuries proven to be completely without merit. So rather than losing all vaccines in the US, Congress stepped in between the two parties. The industry is still heavily regulated.
4) Hugh Blair of Borgue was a well documented case of a person with all the classic symptoms of autism. Symptoms were highly detailed in a 1747 court case. Plenty of people had autism throughout history, even before we had an actual diagnosis. Now that there’s more awareness of it, it gets diagnosed more regularly (possibly overdiagnosed now). If you’re suggesting a link between autism and vaccines, that’s been laughed out of court rooms for decades. It used to get pinned on the MMR vaccines, except now we can diagnose autism before the usual age the MMR vaccine is given. So now that bar gets moved elsewhere.
5) They’re usually just mandated if you want your kids going to school with other kids. Because nobody wants kids with deadly, preventable diseases roaming around their kids.
6) Yes, because of persistent measles outbreaks due to breaks in herd immunity thanks to anti-science anti-vaxxers.
Yes, I have heard something about measles lately. From January 1 to December 31, 2019, 1,282 individual cases of measles were confirmed in 31 states. Of these cases, 128 were hospitalized and 61 reported having complications, including pneumonia and encephalitis.
Measles has the added bonus that it kills Memory B-cells, which effectively erases the immune system of otherwise healthy people. That leaves them susceptible to all the infections they’ve already gone through and renders any immunity they might have had before useless.
Boy ! You sure are defensive aren’t you?
Let me ask you a straight up question - do you believe the government has the ability to force people to inject themselves with unknown materials in some syringe ? yes or no
And right now of course the government has exclusive rights on telling you what’s in that syringe or not and it’s holds the right to not tell you at all it’s in there
Do you think that’s correct , vaccine pro- person?
Welcome to FR.
When my oldest son was 10 we were waiting for port call as my husband was on orders for Vietnam. My son was going to school and when he came to the hotel we were staying I noticed he had the Measles. So naturally we kept him out of school.
A week or so later his 6 year old brother came down with the Measles, I noticed some red bumps on the skin of our seven month old daughter and thought she also had the Measles. So my husband said I am going to take you to your parents and will pick you up when the kids are better and we can fly to the States.
To make a long story short our daughter did not have the Measles like I thought but had Meningitis. The kind that affects the lining of the brain. She was a very ill baby, but had a very good doctor. My husband thanked him when she was released.
She is deaf in her left ear due to the Nerve damage that was caused by the illness, but she is married and lives in Amarillo, she and her husband have a 14 year old son and she celebrated her 50th Birthday on March 1st.
(Waaaaaah) I am old
