    As for having never had a vaccine and not getting the disease that the vaccine protects against. Read up on herd immunity.
    Geeze. Read into it what you want. As I said, Think about it (i.e do some investigation into the need for and performance of any vaccines you are pointed to) because there is some very real evidence that it isn't always the best or even a necessary choice (i.e don't be a sheep). I never said "don't take vaccines".

    FFS, some of you people need some serious education in language comprehension. Perhaps I should have started with that link.

    An elderly friend of my mums died shortly after the illness that was triggered by his vaccinations he received as he was travelling to India. He never made the journey

    Certain genotypes are more susceptible to vaccine injury.

    Poor immunity in children may also result in harm
    All doubtful or unquantified risks arguing against immunisation. They definitely should factor in a decision whether to vaccinate or not, but compared to the reduction in risk most vaccines represent they come nowhere near representing a valid argument.

    And if the reason to vaccinate is to eliminate a particular threat then widespread refusal defeats the purpose. Smallpox is the only one we've nailed, which is a pretty poor record given the resources that could be applied and the consequences of allowing our parasitic baggage to survive.

    Are we talking about the bugs or people who don't take the vaccines?

    That's true, apologies for any unintended collateral damage.

    It's important to recognise, though that every mother's decision to vaccinate or not, no matter how well researched is less well qualified than almost any medical professional's. And there's a great deal of poorly informed bullshit wherever they look, which helps not at all.

    Its all very political....

    His findings could never be replicated, and in the science community, that means it is nothing more than a cool story at best.
    No legitimate research into the possible link ever concluded the same as Wakefield's paper.

    From the co authors of the paper
    "We wish to make it clear that in this paper no causal link was established between (the) vaccine and autism, as the data were insufficient. However the possibility of such a link was raised, and consequent events have had major implications for public health. In view of this, we consider now is the appropriate time that we should together formally retract the interpretation placed upon these findings in the paper, according to precedent."

    He made something up, and it was proved to be rubbish, but to this day, people still think that there is a link between autism and the MMR vaccine.


    People having adverse affects due to a vaccine is such a small percentage(~0.05% for the HPV vaccine for example), but the stories get blown into the spotlight because of how easy it is to put things up on the internet. No one ever tells stories about how they were perfectly fine after the vaccines and consequently didn't develop polio or measles.
    we may just go where no ones been

    The bugs. Although in fact in terms of how you strategically manage them there's no difference.

    A new one will form.
    Natural immunity building makes more long term sense, as a weak body is vulnerable to many new things that will come, but as yet unknown.

    keep making more and more vaccines??

    Yeah, doctors would be completely out of business. And you'll never find a single one of them that wouldn't pull the trigger on polio in a second.

    Mr Microsoft Gates already has that in hand reportedly. 97% and counting I think he last reported.

    Extinct is extinct, dude, they only come back if some pocket of anti-immunisation idiots keep a breeding stock. The only virus that's jumped species in modern history is Ebola, there isn't any form of immunity, natural or otherwise that has a chance of working there, you kill the fucker dead. If another one turns up then you kill that too.

    Rabies in Australia jumps from bats to peeps and horses... 60min tonight Prime TV

    Creatures mutate, you cannot realistically expect to ban them forever.

    Nature is opportunistic, reducing opportunities is key.

    Maori were in fine health when colonialists arrived
    Same as nearly all ethnic people before colonisation

    Strong genes is the answer
    Not gene weakening therapies that make you reliant on [trying to] killing germs and bugs

    Vaccination creates reliance on profit focused corporations. Who benefit financially upon sick populations.....

    Strong natural immunity is free to all, and how nature was meant to work
