MR. S, don't bother making any more posts. We've been merked.
Vaccines are there to protect you. You may die any second, there's no time to lose. Run, don't walk to the clinic and get inoculated against everything. Doesn't matter if the product hasn't been tested for safety or effectiveness for that matter. Let's stop caring about why things are the way they are and just accept everything as 'the way it's always been.' We should think and speak within the programming and refrain from any "conspiracy theorist" triggers, otherwise globetrotter won't be able to read this forum.
globetrotter, you're acting like an absolute tool. i doubt if you'll ever see it. so what if you were smart enough to leave the US. so what if you have a background in math or physics. until you defeat the mind control keeping you blind you're just as ignorant as everyone else. there's nothing to fear. and your ego is not your soul. so when a psychological barrier pops up, KNOCK IT DOWN! don't listen to your ego
that's all i can say. it's pretty pointless trying to help a zombie unless they show a desire for help. for a lot of people 9/11 is what shook them up. but the conditioning is so strong a zombie can even rationalize how 2 planes can bring down 3 skyscrapers.
It is also pointless to attempt to enlighten one such as yourself who lives in an era where there is little or no threat to his life due to infectious diseases, as most of the fatalities have been eradicated due to vaccinations.
a) had his life saved (or so he thinks) by the polio vaccine
and
Only an idiot or the willfully ignorant would claim that Polio, Measles, Mumps, MMR, etc. vaccines did not save lives.
The reason you whine about vaccines is because they have done their job and eliminated most or all of the deaths from said diseases.
Now, since no one dies of Polio, etal, all you have are the side effects to complain about.
Since you lack historical education, age and wisdom, you could not possibly know that within the lifetime memory of some members here, it was entirely possible that we, or someone we know, could have died from Polio, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, etc. The vaccines that we took all but elminated those thousands of annual deaths and the regular outbreaks.
I actually contracted the measles as a child, before I got vaccinated. This disease was eradicated from the USA in 2000 by this vaccine.
Do you know that disease is fatal sometimes? Do you also know that it has been all but eradicated within the USA due to the vaccinations?
So now that you won't die from the disease, you complain about the fact that the vaccines are not 100.00% safe and that there are side effects and the occasional fatality.
Of course.
It's a trade-off.
Many thousands of annual deaths due to illness, or a handful of deaths and bad side effects due to the vaccine.
I don't expect you to be able to comprehend this post, but your profound ignorance cannot be left unchallenged.
All readily available on a Google search:
-Measles is one of the leading causes of death among young children even though a safe and cost-effective vaccine is available.
-In 2008, there were 164 000 measles deaths globally – nearly 450 deaths every day or 18 deaths every hour.
-During 1971-75, an average of 35.4 measles-related deaths were recorded each year; one death for every 1,000 measles cases reported. Measles mortality rate was highest in children under 1 year of age, as was the death-to-case ratio.
-In the United States, reported cases of measles in the United States fell from hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands per year following introduction of the vaccine in 1963.
-In the decade prior to the introduction of the MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) combination vaccine in the United States, it’s estimated that more than three million people were infected with the measles each year. Since MMR reached widespread use, measles cases in the country have been reduced by more than 99%.
3,000,000 / 1,000 = 3,000 died each year from the Measles in the USA.
That's D-E-A-T-H-S from the Measles. People die from it without a (MMR) vaccine.
-The MMR vaccine is an immunization shot against measles, mumps and rubella (also called German measles). It was first developed by Maurice Hilleman while at Merck in the late 1960s.
I was 8 years old in the late 1960's.
So in 1965 when I contracted the Measles (because the vaccine had not been invented yet), it had a shockingly good chance of KILLING my youngest brother, as it is most lethal in younger children.
Everyone in the family caught it at once - all 4 kids.
Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Polio - they all KILLED children. That is why the vaccines were created and given, and it's why you don't have to worry about contracting those diseases and you can instead whine about the side effects of the vaccines, as they outnumber the (non-existent) deaths.
Again, I do not expect you to have the intellectual capacity to understand this.
Simply ridiculous. It's a fear based idiocracy.
