1)...people bring up tried and true vaccinations. Like Polio or the Measles. But we're talking about a new one.
2) And from my understanding the coronavirus mutates similar to the flu?
3) Some people claim their children develop autism soon after being vaccinated. Any truth to this? I don't know. Hard to argue with a mother who claims that two of her children became autistic afterwards. What about religious freedom to decide?
4) I know some religious beliefs do not want blood transfusions. So I'm thinking not vaccinations as well.
5) Forced vaccination sounds frightening to me. I've read rumours of infertility in some countries such as Kenya after mass vaccinations.
6) The old money and truly elite?
7) Why should we trust pharmaceutical companies when their sole goal is to make profit?
1) Anti vaxxers don't like any vaccines...including the "tried and true". Polio, measles, small pox...incidence of ALL these viruses dropped to the point of eradication in developed countries until this whole anti-vaccine movement...and now we see measles and mumps outbreaks in 1st world countries where outbreaks never occurred for decades.
2) No one knows what SARS cov2 behaves because there isn't enough data and time to establish how it behaves. And anyone who claims to know definitively is lying. We have decades of influenza data and barely 7 months of covid 19...so give it some more time.
3. No truth. No scientific truth. A mother who has 2 children that have autism...unfortunate for her but maybe it was going to happen irregardless of the vaccinations. Could the kids be genetically predisposed to being autistic especially if both children have it? And yet we know of billions of people who didn't end up autistic after vaccines...so there is no real correlation to the vaccines themselves. I get it...parents need to find something to blame and explain why their kid is not like other kids...and can't accept that there isn't really a good explanation. It isnt necessarily their fault their kid is autistic but being able to find a something to pin the blame on brings closure. But a lot of medical phenomena happen with no real cause or explanation...it is just bad luck. Some birth defects, childhood cancers, and even some adult cancers just simply happen. I know that myself because I have seen several relatives, coworkers and relatives of friends in recent years develop an aggressive lung cancer and die within months...and none of them ever smoked a day in their lives. It is what it is some times.
Some people might point to the ever increasing numbers of autism found in kids over the decades as a result of vaccines...and they will have conveniently ignored the fact that autistic people have existed long before the invention of vaccines. The condition has always been around...the difference is that the label of being "autistic" didnt always exist and the criteria for considering someone to be autistic has changed over the decades as to include a larger spectrum of symptoms. People once considered schizophrenic, slow, (Please Use More Appropriate Word), etc may well be considered autistic today. That is a good thing as it allows these children to get access to better management. So autism isn't new and cases aren't necessarily increasing...but the way we classify it...is.
4. Those would be Jehovah's witness who refuse blood products like actualbl blood or components of actual blood. A vaccine isn't a blood product. It is something (a dead or living but not deadly virus or fragment of virus) that is produced not using blood of any sort and done in a lab setting.
5. Forced vaccination is a ridiculous idea. No one is chasing you around town with a syringe. It would be a good idea to get vaccinated because you would rather get immunity by vaccine than roll the covid 19 dice...get the actual virus and hope you don't end up on a ventilator in the ICU or die. And the idea of herd immunity is important as well...because we don't want the virus out there with the possibility of mutating...so the more immune people...the less chance the virus gets to survive.
6. Who the f are they? Is this the Illuminati?
7. Why trust science and pharmaceutical companies? You have a headache...what do you do...pop a Tylenol or Advil. You get pneumonia and show up at the doctor's office because you can't breathe then get an antibiotic and puffers...then you get better. You gave a heart attack and get to a hospital...and they start giving you all sorts of drugs and start doing procedures on you...and you survive. You get cancer...start chemo and go into remission and you survive. Guess who you have to thank for that? Science and the pharmaceutical companies! They aren't all benevolent and doing it for charity but they aren't all bad and evil. I hope your distrust for science doesn't lead you to show up at a naturopath or alternative practitioner if you have chest pain because...personal story...it happened to a close family friend when she was visiting and staying at my parents' house. Complained of chest pain while out with other friends just after lunch...and they all went to an alternative medicine practitioner who "diagnosed" her with indigestion and sent her with some BS garbage treatments. She got back to my parents' house and went to take a nap. SHE NEVER WOKE UP. It was a massive heart attack...and she would be alive today if they only took her to a hospital. She was 65 and otherwise healthy. My parents are still traumatized by the whole situation...2 years after the ordeal.
