Why does Government care so much about vaccinating us?


Does anyone actually believe it's because they care about our health? This is the same government that subsidizes high fructose corn syrup. It's like saying they're is going to protect the environment, when our millitary is the biggest polluter in the entire world. They dump toxic waste anywhere, ironically including our vaccines.

For example, vaccines don't have to include mercury and aluminum. Mercury is a preservative they started using before ever publicly studying the health effects. We could easily use something else, or even refrigeration, like other countries. Aluminum is a cheap and dirty cost cutting filler that they started using in place of actual vaccine antibodies. Because aluminum is a neurotoxin, it will supposedly stimulate the immune system and be just as effective as if you had the full dose of antibodies that vaccines are supposed to have. Do you trust them? I don't.

America is sick. The large majority are fat with chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease. Everyone is on painkillers antidepressants and statins. Every child has at least 10 autoimmune conditions like asthma. It's a joke. Measles isn't even our problem. Measles is nothing even if you get it. We're not malnourished Africans. It's itchy bumps for a week, not a lifetime of expensive health care management. Scientists try to fear-monger like we're going to die. Not if farting cows kill us first.

And yet it's even controversial to criticize obesity. We call it "fat shaming". We promote "body acceptance". We ban fashion shows from having skinny models. Fake scientific studies about deliberately becoming fat are accepted by reputable peer reviewed journals. This stuff is all coming out of government funded universities. Yet we can't criticize vaccines? We ought to oppose them just on principle.

They want to save those Medicare and Medicaid bucks!

And I partially agree, although not with your insane anti-vax screed. If they REALLY wanted to save public health money, they'd ban processed food and tax cigarettes so heavily they cost $20 each. But there's no huge wealthy industry opposing vaccination, even the AMA is willing to cost themselves business by promoting regular flu shots for everyone.

This is what I'm talking about. I wrote about how to improve vaccines and you have a hysterical reaction. You couldn't handle the slightest most mild constructive criticism. It's not a normal reaction. It's a Pavlovian response. Who did that to you?

The idea that Medicare or any form of insurance could save money with preventative care is dubious. Nobody decides to have a child simply because condoms aren't given out for free for example. That's why under normal circumstances, preventative care adds rather than subtracts to the cost of an insurance policy. But even if it were true, Medicare and others don't cover vitamins, gym memberships, health food, tanning etc... anything we might think of as contributing to health. They don't even promote blood tests and other ways of keeping an eye on your own body. Medical devices even have extra tax. AMA is always outright criticizing vitamins. Vaccines are unique here again.

Everybody, please be aware that Influenza still kills people. Even in this day and age, people die of the flu, I've seen them die myself, in person. Living human being to corpse, with no going back, because of influenza, something that can be prevented or mitigated with vaccines.

So when I tell everyone to get your flu shots every year, without fail, that is why you need to take me seriously.

Okay.

Agree with Andy and Hownos, this was well said.

It's only because so many diseases have been eradicated in the U.S. through diligent vaccination efforts that people have been able to forget how catastrophic and deadly they can be. The anti-vaxxer movement really makes me sad.

reply

It's scary how many people don't use common sense
Historical statistics vary but between 50-100 million people died of Spanish Influenza during WWI, and they all died painfully

The Anti-Vaxxers are dummies

reply

I’m pretty sure Polio was was almost wiped out in this country because of the use of vaccines.

reply

No question it was. Same as smallpox is for all intentions thanks to vaccinations.

reply

Vaccines are extremely effective and the risks are wildly exaggerated by the anti-vaxxers. Get your kids vaccinated!
