RE: Be Brave! Tell your Vaccine-Injury Story
This is an excellent post! I was just having a conversation with my mother about this very issue! Here, in America, many states practically FORCE parents to vaccinate their children. In order to get around it, parents often have to prove a religious reason to avoid having Child Services become involved, threaten their parental rights, and/or public school systems refusing to allow the children to receive the education guaranteed to all citizens. The funny thing is that they preach how "necessary" vaccines are for prevention and protection for your child from these diseases, and how the "benefit far outweighs the risk", however, when a case of Measels or something pops up, the FIRST thing that is said is how the unvaccinated individual is putting the entire population at risk. The parent is belittled, and sometimes even threatened with criminal charges, because her sick child put everyone else's child in danger of contracting this terrible disease (and don't get me wrong, it IS terrible!!). HOWEVER...if the whole point of your child being vaccinated is to build immunity and keep them from contracting these diseases, how, then, is it a danger to the vaccinated kids if an unvaccinated child happens to come down with one of the diseases? Isn't that a counterproductive argument that runs in circles with no end?? If vaccines keep kids from getting those illnesses, then a child with no vaccines who contracts an illness should not be able to give the disease to a vaccinated child...in theory...right? So why is it that if MY child doesn't have her shots, then she somehow puts every other vaccinated child in mortal danger of getting these illnesses that they HAVE had shots to protect them against??
Love this post...so much!
Thank-you #Syykkogrl . I know what you mean. If vaccines are as great as they say then the vaccinated person should feel safe whether or not anyone around them is vaccinated or not. I remember years back travelling to El Salvador and getting my Hep A Series because I had been told the water there was contaminated with Hep A. I asked what other vaccines I might need. In my mind at the time, I thought that the vaccines made it safe for me to travel where the Hep A virus was common and others weren't vaccinated against it. Now I find out that people are being made to feel that their vaccines won't work unless EVERYONE else around them has the vaccine too!? I read a story of a woman at the vet with her dog who had put her dog on the floor in the waiting room. She was told by the vet not to put her dog down as other dogs with Parvo had been in the room, and this woman replied that it wasn't a problem because her dog was vaccinated and safe. But the vet said, "Oh, that doesn't mean that your dog can't still catch Parvo."
Oh, and what are "Boosters" except an admission that the vaccines don't work for very long. It was once believe that one measles vaccine protected for life, then they added a booster, then another booster, and now they are telling adults to go get another measles booster if there is an outbreak in their area.
To me all this shows that the vaccines are not effective anyways. Plus they carry risks. But they want to force us all to take a risky vaccine that likely doesn't work anyways? It's a pretty crazy world out there.
