Anti-vaccine movement

Ugh, I wish everyone would vaccinate their children and selves. It can so harmful to NOT vaccinate. There are some diseases we've nearly wiped out due to vaccines for christ's sake.

I'm completely against vaccinations. Especially for the flu, <3.

The Flu Vaccine doesn't work, it's based on strains in the previous year. Flu's mutate and are not the same strain as before, plus the other garbage that is in them is deadly. No thanks.

Read up on the Gardasil vaccine.

There are some that are beneficial while traveling, but honestly I choose them very carefully. Most do more harm than protect.

"plus the other garbage that is in them is deadly"

is deadly? I wonder why we aren't extinct yet then.
I would gladly like to know what source your deduction comes from lol.

I guess no one really enjoys being vaccinated, however a short trip to the doctors/school can help prevent deadly diseases. My kids will be vaccinated, however if others do not want to vaccinate their kids they should suffer the consequences over time.

The flu vaccine does work on the specific strains that is in the vaccine. You're right about it mutating a lot, but the flu vaccine for every year is based off of predictions of which flus are most likely to get people sick. Why not reduce the chances of you getting sick? I haven't gotten a flu vaccine in years but that's because I'm lazy and very rarely go to the doctor, but that doesn't mean I think vaccines are "deadly". Also just wanted to add that although flus mutate, their previous strain is still alive. Mutations does not occur in a whole "population" of a flu strain, so there might be new strains that mutate from the previous strain, but the previous strain still exists. Sorry if I worded it weirdly.

I just checked out the ingredients for vaccines located here: (you need an account to see links) and see no "deadly garbage" you speak of. Sure formaldehyde is very bad, but only in very high concentrations (likely only found in preserved bodies, but if you're in contact with preserved bodies, you most likely know the safety protocol regarding formaldehyde anyway). All the ingredients that are in vaccines are there for a reason, such as formaldehyde since it's needed to deactivate the virus in question so that it doesn't infect your body.

Read up on this also: (you need an account to see links)

Vaccines are used so that your body builds up an immunity to it. If you look at history, vaccines have helped a number of viruses from infecting people. To say that vaccines are "bad" for you without any evidence backing it up is pretty illogical.

I'm just going to point out that you won't be able to change someone's mind about something if they believe differently than you do. I've learned not to debate, and agree to disagree.

[Fleur]

@(you need an account to see links) it's not about believing something differently though. I don't think debating/discussing differing views is a bad thing. Sure their opinions might not change, but to spread/believe in misinformation is ridiculous and I think it's ok to point that out.

I spent my childhood in another country. They don't give you the choice to opt out there lol, you line the fuck up in school and they shoot you right up. I'll thank them for it now that I'm old enough to understand.

As for the "harmful chemicals" in those vaccines...ok there are mercury atoms in there. There's also probably more mercury in that tuna on your sushi last night than in all the vaccines you would get. Also, table salt is made with atoms that would spontaneously combust and choke you with toxic fumes. Chemistry!

I do understand some about the flu vaccine, it is bad when they guess wrong, and the flu does kill a lot of people each year regardless. Right now, I am afraid of needles and I don't get sick much.

Once I get older though and my immune system goes to shit you can bet your ass I will go protect myself
