Everybody in the scientific community knows that vaccines work and how they work. This "vaccines cause autism" is just made up bullcrap by parents who see connection between the two when there isn't any

They are one of the greatest scientific discoveries ever, and have saved more lives than anything ever.

>>7771836
Everybody in the scientific community? Does that also include big pharma companies who profit from vaccines?

>>7771887
you're trying to create doubt where there is room for none

>>7771887
wow jesus anti-sciencers are fucking stupid

Attack direct evidence or hand yourself plebian, questioning motif is proof of nothing, and the motivation would be for the company to inherently provide a product that works given there was competition for vaccines...

First past the post takes all the profit in pharma.

Do people need to eat food? Does everyone agree on that? Does that also include food companies who profit from food?

Actually, it was made up by a doctor, Andrew Wakefield, who had serious conflicts of interest such as being paid to represent plaintiffs wanting to blame vaccine companies for everything.

His "research" has been thoroughly discredited and he has been disdoctified (i.e. lost his license to practice medicine).

Wow. Nowhere but this thread has that word ever been used. This pleases me

it really depends. personally, i avoid vaccines for viruses that my body can fight off like the influenza (mainly because I'm screamish to needles)

It's a whole other story for stuff like measles, HPV, and small pox since those will kill you.

also, if you're concerned about mercury the LD50 of thiomersal is 75mg/kg and a vaccine only contains 1mg of thiomersal (if you're 75kg or 165lbs then it'll take 5625 shots once to kill you.)

shots at once*

>>7772041

It should be.

I've seen a lot of negative articles about the gardasil shot. Would that be an example of an sketch vaccine or just is it all BS?

Mercola has about as much credibility as your dog Fido.

That's not how LD50 works.

LD50 is the lethal dose for 50% of a test population.

I know this is bait, but people actually use this argument.

We buy lots of basic drugs from pharmaceutical companies, such as insulin. These drugs are demonstrably effective. Sometimes part of this data will come from pharma. This changes nothing; there is a wealth of information proving the effectiveness of these treatments.

The difference between this and vaccination is that if you opt-out of other interventions, you harm only yourself and your family. By opting out of vaccination you harm others around you by allowing your child to incubate diseases which can be passed on to other children, and eventually kids will die, because you're too ignorant and selfish to listen to the entire medical profession when they warn you of the risks and tell you to trust the most important medical intervention ever discovered.

This is a serious public health issue, and the victims are the children who cannot fight off infections themselves; the culprits are the negligent anti-vaccers. They should be held accountable for their actions.

The term is "struck off" the registry.
