      Very very accurate. Measles can complicate as encephalitis, which has poor prognosis. Smallpox was extremely deadly; there was a reason it was the disease we first developed a successful vaccine against. Anti-vaxers who still claim autism is linked to vaccinations (despite it being disproven several times), how do they prefer polio or permanent damage/death over autism for their kid? There’s a very small group of people who cannot safely receive vaccinations, and rely on herd immunity. In my country, we are discussing not letting anti-vaxers (by choice) put their children in public kindergarten. It’s a tricky discussion with strong opinions on both sides. On a population scale, vaccines save more lives than they take by a ridiculous factor.

      thought the same.
      I also thought that she seemed very attacked or judged. And she maybe also has good reasons for it. I heard a few stories of parents whose children had adverse effects after vaccines and the doctors did not believe them, and I think that must be a horrifying situation. I still believe that you should definitely vaccinate and that the benefits are very high.
      But I think it is horrifying if doctors downplay issues or if they do not try to search for the cause of problems because they think the patients exaggerate stuff. The one women told her history of visiting many doctors because of her arthrities and no one looked into it enough to help her.

There is a time and a reason for a Vaccine, there also ISNT. Because the law of nature works against us. The illnesses that are going to let us sit and rot in a bed for the rest of our life such as polio. is a GOOD reason to vaccinate. Something absurd such as the FLU, or Hepatitis is a dumb reason.

Could you imagine if the number of people who didn’t want the covid vaccine would have been against the polio vaccine? We would have had millions of other people dead or in iron lungs and the virus would still exist and still be infecting people, but thanks to the vaccine and the mandates put in place and followed during its outbreak has literally eliminated the virus in the US. Guess where it isn’t eliminated? In certain 3rd world countries that didn’t have a vaccine and is only being treated and prevented by vaccines provided to them by the CDC as it’s goal is to eliminate the virus globally. Much like the Covid outbreak, polio also caused the government to close schools, public places, and also encouraged social distancing, along with the vaccine having potential side effects that included possible paralysis. Vaccination is nothing new, just as viral infections are nothing new, and the science behind their creation and use is pretty rock solid. Now if people who were unvaccinated couldn’t spread and infect others with the virus then vaccination probably wouldn’t be mandated, but it can and is spread by people so you put others at risk, not just yourself, when you remain unvaccinated during an outbreak of a potentially deadly virus…not sure what’s so difficult about that to understand.

      If you're alluding to the massively debunked connection between autism and vaccination... I hear you! I was diagnosed ADHD in my 30s. My family suspected I was autistic for years before then. (ASD and ADHD can have overlapping symptoms.) Some of my more fringe relatives implied that my issues (that turned out to be ADHD) were caused by my childhood vaccinations. It's a good thing I wasn't present for that conversation cause I'd have had a tough time keeping my cool and debunking them vociferously. ADHD is genetic and I likely got it from my undiagnosed mother.
      It also is a horrible thing to say to autistic folks, too. The implication is that they would rather have a maimed or dead child from a preventable disease rather than risk having an autistic child!

The study or trial specifications are just changed to reduce the unwanted data and include the wanted data.

Before WHO and the government stepped in, hundreds of kids used to die from preventable diseases like measles, small pox etc. My own cousin died from small pox at age of 2 because she didn't receive the vaccine on time. Hearing people in the 1st world country saying vaccines are harmful makes me really sad and angry at the same time.

They have the power of corrupted hindsight were they did not see the effects and assume all of these illnesses have been eradicated. They are the result of decades fighting preventable, through vaccinations, diseases.

      I think this is what people need to hear. We used to be just as vulnerable to disease, which is the whole point of these movements to get vaccines to kids all over the world... we were trying to give them what we had, that feeling of security in knowing that diseases that used to ravage communities were now a thing of the past. If such a miracle medicine exists, it's a moral wrong to give only to a few people. So we in the US are pretty amazed, too, that anyone would dismiss that astounding opportunity out of fear of a rare adverse reaction.

      I'm sorry about your cousin, and she is one of the many reasons why I will be fully vaccinating my son. I cannot relate to your story, but I know that there are too many out there just like your cousin.
      Not only do I have the privilege of living in a 1st world country, so I have easy access to vaccines, but I'm Canadian... so they're free. I would be a complete and total moron if I didn't take advantage of that. Sadly, I know people who think that because there are scary sounding ingredients (such as dihydrogen monoxide) in vaccines, that they're unsafe. Even the mercury used in some of them, thimerosal, is less dangerous than the mercury in fish.
      Now, yes, there's risk associated with vaccines, but there is risk to everything, and an even greater risk when not vaccinating. There are outbreaks of measles in the US and some cases in Canada because people aren't vaccinating.

I had a bad reaction (allergic but not anaphylactic) to a certain vaccine as a young adult. It made me afraid to vaccinate my kids since we did not know what ingredient my reaction came from. Thankfully my family doctor was good at discussing risk versus benefit for each individual vaccine and each child. We both agreed to space things out and pay close attention to possible allergic reactions for each shot. We eventually got the kids fully vaccinated (minus the chicken pox shot which is what I reacted to).

    Here's my issue..... From some people I received a lot of abuse, when I explained that I didn't want to go for any more covid jabs due to the anaphylaxis, inuding someone who told me that I should have it because covid is worse than anaphylaxis! They had never had an allergic reaction of any kind....
    I discussed the jab again with a doctor, once the zeneca jab had been withdrawn, and we talked about the risks, especially as I have chonic q fever and a lot of other conditions, some of which are autoimmune disorders. I was asked to have the jab in the hospital, had an allergic reaction again, but it was dealt with. Bullying is wrong, open communication is key.

      What or when a child gets a vaccine should be customized to that specific child.

I don’t think it’s ok to just make a list of vaccines and tell parents “here is the generic list, get these vaccines at specific times” when the doctor should evaluate each individual vaccine for the child on an individual basis.

    My friend decided not to vaccinate her child. We had heated discussions about the topic over the years and just agreed to disagree.
    However am deeply saddened that my friends daughter passed away a few years later at the tender age of 15 from Meningococcal meningitis.
    My beautiful friend was so distraught and said "You were right...I should've listend." I this was a time where I truly wished I was wrong 😪.
    On the flip side one of my daughters fellow students a top gymnast started with seizures emediatley after she was given a vaccine at school. These seizures never went away and progressed. Now she requires 24/7 care as she has 6 - 10 seizures a day.

You know lepers were once driven from their communities because of the threat they posed to others. There is no supposed "right" that allows for individuals spreading of vaccine-preventable diseases. As a final thought allergic reactions reflect a problem with the individual and not the vaccine per se which is merely a "trigger".

      You can not view reaction to vaccination in a vacuum. You must understand that side effects to a given vaccine typically mirror the same seen with people infected with the actual infectious disease. That tells you those are a result of exposure to = the pathogen.
      Thus in so much as the infectious disease exists - hence why there are vaccines - you will therefore see one outcome or the other. Either a few susceptible individuals risk what are rare side effects to vaccination = or they risk the same from catching the infectious disease - which increases that risk exponentially.
      As an aside. People unable to tolerate exposure to vaccines which are weaker by design would more than likely react similarly - or worse - upon simply catching the infectious disease. This means those few in number people who reacted badly to vaccination would represent the same we would expect to see if the infectious disease simply spread through the population unchecked = except there are far fewer of them. Think about it.

After my mom told me about the symptoms of tetanus at around 12 years old and compared what tetanus does to a person versus just getting one jab that’s over quickly, I started to think differently about vaccines. I knew that it wasn’t to hurt me, but to protect me and others who can’t get vaccinated. (Newborns, people with certain autoimmune disorders, etc.) My parents went through chickenpox and other things as children that I never even had to think about as a kid. As somebody who’s turning 26 next month, I’m no longer scared of vaccines and even used to get B-12 injections weekly at one point because although I eat red meat, my body doesn’t break down the B-12 vitamin very well for some reason.

      People from third world countries know better than anyone how dangerous vaccines are since pharma loves to use them as guinea pigs. See, Im pretty sure they have caught on , and Im sure Africa probably doesnt appreciate Bill Gates giving them polio What a prick giving them the oral polio vaccine when we discontinued it here because it causes polio. More cases of vaccines der1ived polio exists today than the wild polio. So what is actually beyond frustrating is all of you just regurgitating the same old
      fake vaccine stories you have been told all your life and never looking yourself to see if there is any truth to what we say at all. But hey, dont listen to us. Millions of us are all just delusional parents. Ha ha

    I got vaccinated for rubeola when i was a baby, yet I got rubeola when i was 14 years old. Neither my family nor I blamed "the vacc didn't work", it's just my immune was bad at that time. Still doesn't change my mind about getting vacc, a jab it is.

    • @varyolla435
      @varyolla435 Před rokem

      When the MMR first came out it was only one dose. It took some years to determine that 2 doses were needed to insure good immunity response. Meanwhile the Rubella vaccine is believed to last ~15 years for most. So developing Rubella 14 years later does not mean the vaccine did not work - especially if it was a mild case. Vaccines are not "100% preventative". They simply offer better odds at avoiding serious illness with milder side effects than catching what they prevent.

    Should the doctors and pharma companies compensate all injuries cause by their hands?

    When she went to Puerto Rico for vacation, she cut her ankle on a sharp tree branch in the forest. It was not clean. And her mother refused to have her the tetanus vaccine. Her father wanted but her mother would not allow it.

      That’s it! Where I live, there is no anti-vax vs pro-vax but when I see these lucky people who live in countries where they have easy access to vaccines turn their backs on them and play the victims... like so many countries and children would give anything to have their luck! It frustrates me so bad

      Nelson Mandela (2002 Vaccine Conference) --“Giving children a healthy start in life, no matter where they are born or the circumstances of their birth, is the moral obligation of every one of us. I find it heartbreaking that 3 million people, most of them children, die each year from diseases that we can prevent with simple, inexpensive vaccines. "

    "I know my kid better than someone who sees them twice a year for 10 minutes"
    K Story time
    When I was 16, I had something wrong with me illness-wise. My family just played it off as a fever, even though I had red spots all over my body afterwards. My family finally brought me to the doctor because I literally got kicked out of school at that point. My family and I after lots of internet searching, couldn't find anything. In the hospital, my doctor, who only sees my for 10 minutes twice a year, within 2 minutes: "You have Scarlet Fever." The doctor I see twice a year for ten minutes saved me from a potentially lethal disease that my family couldn't do anything about for days.

The real truth is that many people simply do not understand how vaccines work. It is very difficult for people who don’t have a choice. Thank you again for sharing good evidence based information. I hope it changes people’s minds. 🙏🏼
