    People would rather there kids die of Measles than have Autism

    Obviously vaccines/environmental factors/food coloring doesn’t cause Autism but if we play along with the RFK Jr. narrative that’s basically what they are saying. Also the RFK Jr. research is specifically funding people can find a link. They will find a link because of conformation bias.

      They don’t stop eating. They will stop their kids from eating because they have been already vaccinated, so they can’t live without eating, but their children can

    Even then, starving your own children isn’t going to cause their classmates and teachers and those people’s families to also go hungry. OP’s comparison is extremely forgiving to those dipshits.

    Man if they are already that choked up about hundreds of children dying then how will they react about tens of millions of people dying each year because of tobacco and alcohol.

    I got 3 vaccinations today for a trip to Asia for Hep A, Typhoid and Tetanus. Two jabs in one arm and one in the other. Because while getting vaccinated isn’t pleasant (sore arms and mild flu like symptoms) I would rather that than to the horrible, potentially life threatening illnesses they prevent.

      All those illnesses are nowhere near life threatening these days. Sure, in the past when you got Tetanus, you got it from some rusty nail possibly covered by fiecies of some farm animal, then it was most likely not cleaned, not even by alcohol… Today you probably get it properly cleaned and even disinfected practically immediately.

      While I also had Tetanus and other shots, I really dont consider them all that necessary these days as it was in the past. What Im however very weary is various aluminium and similar metals, especially in children vaccines. We have only studies of aluminium toxicity on rats, but those got it orally - which is a huge difference. We have no long term studies of aluminium oxides toxicity when directly injected, especially in to children…

      On day 1 of life, infants receive 250 µg of aluminum from the hepatitis B vaccine, equating to ~73 µg/kg for a 3.4 kg newborn—17 times higher than the weight-adjusted PDL (~4.3 µg/kg/day). Cumulative exposure from the CDC schedule (birth to 2 years) ranges from 4.225 to 4.925 mg, exceeding the PDL when adjusted for body weight, especially in the first 6 months (e.g., 1.475 mg by 2 months). Infants receive ~4.4 mg of aluminum from vaccines in the first 6 months, compared to 7 mg (breast milk), 38 mg (formula), or 117 mg (soy formula) from diet, but injectable aluminum is more bioavailable and biopersistent.

      And thats a huge red flag for me. Especially, if the mother is not infected by hep. B before birth, how would a child even get such a disease, which transfers by blood and body fluids, yet we vaccinate them with it at first days of life ?

        All 3 of the diseases i was vaccinated for regularly kill people and can cause severe harm even if someone survives. As I am not an idiot I would prefer to avoid that if at all possible. I opted not to get Hep B, Rabies, Dengue fever vaccinations based on a risk profile and where I was traveling but I could and would have gotten shots for those too if the risk profile were higher.

        I also vaccinate my kids for the same reasons.

        You know what the first thing is a medic asks you when you come in with an open wound? He asks you when you had your last tetanus shot. If you even blink before answering that question, you have that vaccine needle in you faster than you can say “autism”.

        Tetanus is deadly as hell, and even if not deadly can cause massive tissue damage. Disinfecting the wound won’t help you when the wound is deep, you can’t clean that shit more than removing debris (btw, disinfection of open wounds isn’t done in many cases, because the disinfectant damages the healthy cells that are busy healing the wound, causing longer healing times and bigger scars)

        Speaking of aluminium: Do you know how little the amounts you are speaking of are? A µg is a 1/1000th part of a mg. We are not talking about fucking Sarin here, it’s aluminium which the human race gets exposed to in shittons. The first thing Aluminium as soon as it gets a chance is forming an oxide layer, making it about as reactive as my dick to a picture of Margret Thatcher naked on a cold day. The probability of aluminium in vaccines causing health effects, when taking the dosage in consideration, is negligible.

        I would not consider you an expert in the field of infectious diseases, please inform yourself the next time before you speak up on this particular topic.

    I feel like it’s probably worse than this. It should start with “I read about this thing called ‘choking to death’”.

    Or better yet, take out “choking to death” (which can happen) and insert some made-up bullshit like “choking so hard your eyeballs pop out”.

      But they are not afraid of children dying, that’s totally fine. They’re afraid their kids might become “weird”. Because that is how they see autism, as being weird.
      And as everybody knows weird is literally worse than death.

    To be fair, food is a significant contributor to the existence of adults. And we all know those are problems.

          Would you say they’re pedophiles if they’re children themselves? At the end of the day you are raised not gifted intelligence.

              This is where we get into the worse debatable territory. Is a 17 year old an adult because if you say yes a lot of pedophiles will love you a lot more now. How about 16 if we can go down to 17 why not just go below, say a 14 year old should understand enough. Hell if you teach a 12 year old properly they should know enough to be treated this way as well they might just not know how terrible they are. See why it’s important to make the distinction between child and adult? So I’m going to ask again is a 17 year old an adult to you?

                  If you don’t then you ignore everything we have been for and throw yourselves to the nature state because you can undermine law whenever you feel like it. This doesn’t matter until you realize the law is the only thing holding us back from killing each other. Go search up jury selection and understand even they cannot have any level of bias to the case.

    The problem is that big pharma lobbying and deregulation keeps giving these people ammunition to work with. So we have the FDA approving drugs they know don’t work, and the CDC allowing the ceo of Delta to decide Covid isolation guidelines. There’s too much corruption, and too much money involved, with diminishing oversight and accountability.

    If scientific institutions want to be trusted, they need to behave in a trustworthy manner, and enforce accountability.

    If you want to be really pissed, read up on doctor disgraced former doctor, lifelong charlatan and grifter Andrew Wakefield. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wakefield

    He abused autistic kids in a medical experiment that was meant to convince both the public and the scientific community that a specific combined vaccine (measles-mumps-rubella, a.k.a MMR) could trigger some kind of bowel disease that causes autism, all so he could peddle his own alternative that is three separate shots.

      And here’s the kicker: he did that because he was financially invested in the company producing the older, separate vaccines.
