The blind faith in vaccines shown here is astonishing. Efficacy rates. Side effects. Legitimate problems that anyone who has actually read the info they are supposed to provide you with before getting it knows about.
Then again few read those inserts or research. I mean, if I told you that someone who had had the pertussis vaccine with a successful immune response to it can still get it, it will look like a mild cold, and you will go out and kiss babies and GIVE them pertussis, will you show that you don’t know how it works and say I’m wrong? Or will you agree that that is how it works (all it does is stop your body from making the toxin that causes the whoop) because you have done your research?
They said at the beginning that everyone would end up getting it. I mean, that’s literally impossible, but if you’re believing what they say, then it means you’ll get it. Might have already had it. So go with that.
Natural immunity is far superior to unnatural immunity (if you even have a successful immune response to a shot, and they never do test that, do they?).
It's not blind faith, it's science.
Do you see any children today getting polio? Do you know why? It's because
we were immunized when we were children. It's almost completely gone from the planet. My mother told me how when she was a child she would have to stay inside terrified when polio was going through their neighborhood. My next door neighbor, now 85, was not so lucky. He suffered with it as a child and could walk with crutches when we first moved in 24 years ago, not so much now.
I don't know how old you are but perhaps you have a scar on your arm from a small pox vaccine. My siblings do but I don't. Do you know why? It was completed eradicated from the earth due to widespread vaccination. I was born in 1967. Nobody nowadays even needs the vaccine because of widespread vaccination.
Look at the decrease in childhood deaths due to vaccination. It used to be typical for families to lose more than one child to illnesses that are completely preventable today because of vaccines. Think about that a minute. Imagine needing to have 4 or 5 children just so that
some of them live to adulthood!!

Vaccines give your body a protein from a virus so that your immune systems mounts a response, and then makes antibodies, so that it will recognize it in the future. This is why once you get chicken pox, you won't get it again. Even a breastfed newborn starts making thousands of antibodies its first day of life.
Sure, immunity isn't perfect. It may take several doses or booster shots later, such as the tetanus shot, but to me it's far easier than having the illness itself.
The problem with flu vaccines is that when they are being produced, usually the year before it's administered, they are making an educated guess and anticipating which strains are going to be prevalent. No one has a crystal ball. Strains mutate, like the common cold, and that makes it difficult to guess so far in advance what strains to add to a vaccine.
If your child hasn't been vaccinated and isn't getting these diseases, it's not just because he eats his veggies (though that helps) it's because of herd immunity, in the same way that it works for those who are immunocompromised or have an allergy to some vaccines, and cannot receive the vaccine. If enough of the "herd" (your peers, neighbors, other kids at school, etc.) refuses immunization, there is no long herd immunity. This is why you see these measles outbreaks out west.
Please educate yourself with
real science with real research using clinical trials, with reproducible results. (Not the quack research Wakefield fraudulently proposed.)
And yes, I am given a pamphlet listing possible side effects and contact numbers every time get one. Most are very mild, such as a sore arm and redness at injection site.
What I find most ironic, is that people refuse their pediatrician's advice to vaccinate, but then when their baby is so sick, can't breathe, etc. they run to their pediatrician saying please help my baby!!
No, I wouldn't kiss babies if I had a cold.
