RE: Can Vaccines Actually Protect the Vulnerable? A Comprehensive Summary.

in #vaccines7 years ago

Very good article. Sadly, authorities like to use tragic cases like that of the poor boy to push for more vaccines. A few years ago, in my country (Romania) authorities used the death of a well-known actor to scare the public into taking the flu vaccine. The day after the poor guy died all over the country there were longs lines of people waiting to get the vaccine (and pay for it, of course). Many months later it was announced that the man had died of a nosocomial infection, not the flu.

Sort:  

Yes, we have a whole campaign that urges cocooning because of the death of Baby Riley. Even though cocooning is scientifically shown in numerous studies to be utterly ineffective because with pertussis you can be an asymptomatic carrier. On the back of Baby Riley's death the No Jab No Pay bill was passed and hate for anti-vaxxers has been on a steady high since :(
