Who's against Vaccines?--It's Not Just Crazy Moms! Comments

Thank You Fred for this article! I agree with you on it. I wish more is done in getting them to reveal what is in the vaccines.

I clicked on this post thinking there would be some info...details...results...analysis...NONE. Just some sort of "not everyone who says there are people after them are paranoid."

Bottom line? There is not a single drug ever created/discovered that didn't injure someone who took it. ALL DRUGS CAUSE NEGATIVE REACTIONS IN SOME PEOPLE. Peanuts kill some kids....ban peanut butter?

ABSOLUTE BOTTOM LINE......Vaccines have saved HUNDREDS of millions. BUT...have killed/maimed some. SMALL PRICE FOR SO MUCH SUCESS.

There are now 97 published reports, in peer-reviewed journals, that demonstrate the problems with vaccine. the link is here:

Educate yourselves -

I, in fact, believe that everyone SHOULD be vaccinated and if you're not and I become ill with a preventable disease due to your failure as a human being to protect yourself and everyone surrounding you, I should be able to sue you and your family for the damages. In fact if you're so careless to not even consider that perhaps we should take some bad for the overall good of everyone? Like perhaps our parents who bare the scars of the polio vaccination? Without their "harm" to themselves, YOU and I would have SUFFERED with polio. Seriously. Have you not heard? Polio is a real thing. There are numerous reasons to vaccinate, and any excuse you are coming up with is just that, an EXCUSE. There is NO scientific evidence that shows that giving out vaccines kill more or harm more people than getting the actual diseases themselves. Tell me, if vaccines don't work, and if they are "so terrible" for you, then SHOW me that proof. I have PROOF for you that vaccines DO in FACT WORK: Polio. Look it up if you don't believe me. Look up the staggering numbers of children who died or became paralyzed from polio, and how after the polio vaccine was administered to the general public as widespread vaccination effort. Then tell me how many children came down with polio after that. THAT is your PROOF. Please, don't send me these emails about your anti-vaccination propaganda that is just a bunch of very bad "information". It's false information and I honestly wish I could sue you for spreading lies and false information as something that is "true", when it is in fact, untrue. Science. Statistic analysis. Common Sense. All would tell you, vaccinate yourself, vaccinate your children. Do it because it's the right thing to do.

I agree, there is media coverage presenting only one side of this issue. Also true, the objections are not necessarily about the concept of vaccinating, but rather about transparency regarding what is in the vaccine and how many are given. I recently discovered that a child over four years old, vaccinated on a recommended schedule was given over 40 immunizations since birth. A little extreme by comparison to what was recommended 25-30 years ago. Most of the population would willingly entertain the possibility that there could be some profiteering involved. We do need substance for the debate.

Thank you for posting this article. We need more voices that support individuals' right to choose.

I am very concerned about the tone if your piece. There is not a conspiracy .d when people do not get their children vaccinated against diseases that are potentially fatal to children and immunocompromised people they are acting irresponsibly. They also put those vulnerable who cannot be vaccinated at risk. Pregnant women who are not vaccinated themselves and are exposed to measles put their fetuses at risk for blindness. Are parents willing to go into a 21 day quarantine with their children should they get exposed. That is what it takes. I had the measles as a child and it was no picnic. The secondary infection to measles is a bronchial infection or pneumonia.
Now I am dealing with a disease for which I have had a stem cell transplant and have lost all of my childhood immunity. Without herd protection my life is at risk. I resent the ideological response to vaccines. Of course parents should know if their child's immunity is such that they should not be vaccinated and they should consider the consequences of not doing so.

Shame on you for praying on those who are vulnerable.

Thank you for this article, first common sense thing I've read on the topic for a LONG time.

I can trace my position on the vaccine issue to my radicalization on the medical establishment as a whole. For me, it was around the issue of childbirth, as I realized that the persecution of midwives was likely more related to an ideology that protects the positions of the establishment, while controlling new parents at a vulnerable time.

That loss of trust was easily extended to childhood vaccines, first with Hep B at birth. Vaccination for a sexually transmitted disease? At birth? Really? And then discovering the rationale: for vulnerable inner city populations, the only time a doctor might see the baby is at birth. Maybe that makes sense from a public health standpoint, for that population. But is that the right choice for my child?

How can the CDC et al win back my trust? First, by being trustworthy. To be trustworthy, be open, and tell us the truth at all times -- regardless of what you think the impact will be on vaccination rates. Your commitment must be to truth above outcome. Only then will the outcome start to become what you want.
