I've about reached my limit with these debates. Not on this forum particularly but in general. Every day life. Any piece of anti-vax "evidence" can be countered.
All I have every seen is '
see, the government said it was safe so that proves it!' There are actually hardly any 'safety studies'. We hear over and over again that their are "thousands" but almost never are any pointed to. When they are, they often say the opposite of what the proponents think they say, and even then they are watered down since inevitably they are funded by big-pharma or their proxies.
A classic example is the fear of *drumroll* MERCURY!
Mercury was bad enough that they did take it out. It's admitted to cause tics, but they say '
oh, it's nothing and they usually go away eventually." Any human can understand intuitively that tics represent neurological dysfunction so as they bumped up the number of required vaccines nearly everyone would have tics and that would embarrass TPTB. So they took mercury out. They've developed more targeted neurological assaults without so many observable side effects anyway so mercury is becoming obsolete. Still useful to further damage people already stupid enough to get an annual flu jab though.
People who don't understand chemistry lose their minds over this. I like to bring up the old "Sodium is highly explosive and dangerous in water. Chlorine is a toxic gas that can kill a human quickly. Combine the two? Harmless table salt"
Just because a chemical has a scary name does not mean it's a dangerous compound.
Every serious so-called 'anti-vaxxer' understands this completely, and there are millions of us.
You are projecting the ignorance characteristic of the typical mouth-breather who takes corp/gov word for everything and applying it where it doesn't apply.
While I feel anti-vax arguments are foolish and ill-informed I do have an internal conflict on this subject. I don't think world governments should be able to mandate vaccines upon their citizens. You're not required to consume water by the government, but logic tells you it's a good thing, don't be an idiot, drink it. Right?
Nobody made people drink the government approved water in Flint, Michigan. The social engineers calculated correctly that a certain target population would do it because they had no other realistic option.
Same people who regulate vaccines, and the same policy calculations.
The only middle ground I can find in myself is that if you choose not to vaccinate your children then they should not be allowed in to the public school system. Private schools can set policies at their own discretion.
To me that would be an interesting experiment. The public school system designed and exists to pump out little big-brother worshiping pro-vaxxes. Families who have broken out can with some success counter the damaging aspects of 'public education'...which explains why the 'progressives' are so negative about nuclear families, family values, etc.
With mandatory vaccine laws for public schools, a lot of families who were on the edge of homeschooling would be forced over the tipping point. For any normal person who has taken the time to research vaccines nobody is going to give their kids what corp/gov is going to be demanding. So, we'll have a cohort who is are both healthy (having avoided vaccine damage) and lacking in public school indoctrination. And probably have much better ethics to boot. Such a cohort could really be something which saves our country, but it would be a generation or two away.
Even IF you want to argue there is some minuscule chance a vaccine can cause harm it's a weak argument by all accounts. The benefits of vaccinations far outweigh the potential negatives and side effects. Imagine being someone who thinks "wow, I would never want my child to be autistic. I'd rather see them suffer a slow painful death from a disease science has made totally optional and preventable at this point in history."
Anyone with an ounce of technical ability can see right through this standard talking point big-enough-lie-often-enough propaganda when they explore the subject for a while. The trickle of people who are actually researching this stuff is turning into a flood, and as the years go by more and more independently funded studies are being performed. The minute details of what 'they' are doing and how 'they' are doing it are coming into focus. Thank God!
