Anti-Vaxxers

Vaccine injury denial should be a criminal offence like holocaust denial.

My doctor told me my son's MMR was perfectly safe. You should have seen his face when I brought my son back in not long after with a new blinking tic. Never seen a look of fear in a pediatrician's face before. He admitted it was the vaccine and that boys tend to react more than girls. Unfortunately we won't be getting the second one. Scary stuff. He's had no issues up until that shot though. Read as you go before these vaccinations. Read the leaflets. Especially on the MMR. It needs more work, unfortunately.

Many do not realise this, let alone believe this, but when one receives an injection it bypasses the immune system, only by the grace of God does one not die instantly if it goes to the heart. Many times it goes directly to the spinal cord to brain and causes encephalitis. The human body is not created for shots. (A doctor, who is a brother in Christ was given this wisdom by The Lord).

Got my kid full vaxxed, his little body had a massive s*****c reaction, worst day of my life, doctor got in touch with his vax people, did fuck all.

I'd not considered that, but the typical vocal American anti-vaxxer seems quite upper-middle-class.

They have to be. Being against vaccinations is the privelege of a westerner who doesn't have to worry about their own kids due to the fact that most other parents - and the State - do.

Which begs the question how do vaccinations work in the US? A nation where people without health insurance will leave a ingrown toenail to go to gangrene so they can go to A&E, and they have 'donate your old glasses' schemes because povvo kids don't get free eyecare and basically have their educational prospects fucked into a cocked hat.

[Zetetic]

There are federal programmes in the US that should ensure that children can get vaccinated, even if this isn't covered in their insurance.

Edit: That Wikipedia article is entertaining in its own right, with a few paragraphs bemoaning that the programme has allowed the US government to substantially reduce the price of vaccines...
