The farce of vaccines.

Post Reply New Topic

I was shocked a documentary about a parent who held that the "autism" (enendiendo autism as a catch) was caused by vaccines. Despite what they call "autism" has always existed, with other names. The fact that the theory of vaccinations is defended by people from the cultural level of an actor and a stripper says a lot about his credibility.

You are seeminly missing details, the ones that make your story have meaning. What documentary? Who is he? A stripper and an actor support a theory of vaccines??? Totally lost...

The same people who originally advanced this theory have since refuted it. The "research" behind it was not scientifically valid.

I think some people are suspicious of ingredients in vaccines but I believe they do more good then harm. I'm glad we have them.

As I've said in similar threads before, my Dad had been born in rural eastern Washington, in 1921 - a time and place where the old west had barely ended. He had never been vaccinated for anything, but just gained immunity by getting various childhood diseases. And yet, I absolutely believe he had been an Aspie, despite never having been diagnosed.
So much for the notion that vaccinations lead to autism.

The anti-vaccine types are right up there with the Creationists and Flat-Earthers.

Forgot alt met hoaxers.

The only vaccines I'm against are the BS swine flu shots they sell during scares. Remember 2009? That imo, was profiteering.

The rest are very much necessary, unless we want polio, tuberculosis and measles to make a comeback.

That mere scare was a disease that actually killed people for real. There was a realistic threat of a pandemic and I hope the next time there is a realistic threat they don't go easy on it either. Because pandemics are a case in which I'd rather see them overreact than under-react.

I find it funny that people believe that some vaccines created autism that is a myth no one knows what causes it some people believe it is the next step in human evolution.

I think that I sort of understand why people believe people like Jenny McCarthy. It's not really the people who have autism that fall for it, it's their worried and stressed-out parents. I think that a lot of parents who have severely autistic children feel a sort of helplessness. They really want to help, they really want to do something, but they don't know what to do. Even worse, some of them may feel that society is judging them and that people think that they caused their child's autism by bad parenting. (This is still a widespread belief.)

So someone comes along and says: "I know why this happened! It's not your fault, it's because of a conspiracy involving vaccines! Come and join the fight against the big pharmaceutical lobbies that are responsible for all of this!"

It could be described as despicable preying on the vulnerable, except that I'm pretty sure that Jenny McCarthy really believes it too, since she has a child with autism.

The truly horrible person is Andrew Wakefield. He doesn't have any sad reason to want to believe this stuff. He just got paid by some lawyers to falsify evidence. Nothing more complicated than that.
