How Anti-Vaxxers Shame Autistic Kids.

Post Reply New Topic

Back to autism causation and the anti vaxx movement.

1. Every decision in life carries some risk even if it is infinitesimal.

2. Most often there are exceptions to the rule

If you are perfectly healthy with no physical disabilities you get out of bed because it is "safe". There is an infinitesimal chance of getting out bed today could be fatal. You might trip hit your head and die, by some freak of nature the exertion might cause a heart attack. It is plausible by some unknown freak of nature in a few cases out of millions of vaccines given a handful of them might cause autism or something like it.

As of right now, there have been dozens of studies and no link has been proven. If you are to believe the anti-vaxxers it is all a conspiracy by government and drug companies to cover-up a plot to deliberately poison children so that the drug companies can make a profit by selling drugs to cure the poison they created. Such a plot would involve thousands upon thousands of professionals being so unethical that the would go along with such a heinous plot or and being very gullible. It strains credulity.

Right now an epidemic of measles has been linked to unvaccinated children and there is government and other pushback. Due to this, the anti vaxx movement is modifying its public rhetoric. They are talking less about conspiracy theories and more about parental rights, less about being anti-vaccination and more saying they are ok with vaccines but in more moderation then is currently recommended. A lot of us do not believe they have really changed their opinion. Since jngyslate mirrored some of the modified talking points people are ASSUMING jngyslate is a full bore anti-vaxxer.

Watch what happens if the Anti-Vaxxers win!

Watch Diphtheria come back! Watch Whopping Cough (Pertussis) come back!

The DPT shot is for Diphtheria, Pertussis, and Tetanus.

Trust me---you don't want to get Tetanus----you almost always die a very painful death from it. It's not dissimilar to Rabies in its symptoms.

Measles was almost eradicated in the "western world" until this outbreak. It's only in the low thousands now----but that can easily turn into the tens of thousands. Measles is not really serious MOST OF THE TIME....but when it's serious, it's REALLY serious. It's not like chickenpox---where people used to deliberately expose kids to chickenpox because it was such a "mild" disease.

Why is it that some people will take a conditional phrase like "there may be an extremely small possibility" and perceive its meaning as "it is absolutely certain"?

This is a rhetorical question, as there may be no logical answer for such unreasonable behavior.

The incidence of major adverse effects from the DPT vaccine is about 1 in a million.

I mean dont get met me wrong, dude, please. I understand where you're coming from. Some doctors and scientists have deemed all of this stuff "very" safe. But when we look at HISTORY. the HISTORY of all scientists and doctors, we find medical discoveries showing that things that were once "safe", suddenly we discover that these things are dangerous. So I think, in light of that, we should approach this with caution. Especially since the people we are injecting these things into, are little babies with still developing and vulnerable immune systems and organs and brain tissue.

Read up on the history of diseases from the 19th century and before.

And of polio before the Salk vaccine came into being.

And about smallpox specifically.

The Native Americans suffered a high degree of mortality because of Measles contracted from Europeans because they lacked immunity to Measles.

The benefits of vaccination far outweigh the harm done by vaccination.
