Thinking of getting vaccinated?

[mashman]

Well yes, given that the credentials required for such expertise amount to the credibility conferred by transparent and consistently accurate observations.

Transparent and consistently accurate observations bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaa. Yeah, so long as you ignore absolutely anything that challenges that position with wilful ignorance and an entitlement complex, sure, you're guaranteed to end up reading what you want because you can deny the information based on a source that you know absolutely nothing about so long as it has a shiny face to present it. Sounds more like an advert than transparency and consistency.

Only fuckwits like you and katflap prefer the advice of the actual lunatics involved, in spite of that advice being repeatedly and comprehensively debunked.

Advice? You, are so dumb... dude.

Safety reports?

Unvaccinated Children Pose ZERO Risk to Anyone?

They do provide good business to undertakers though, by dying of preventable diseases.

Well I do know quite a few undertakers who live quite comfortable life styles - ride nice bikes too. - I try to avoid them professionally!

There is currently an outbreak of measles in the USA which was entirely preventable and is due to fuckwits not vaccinating their kids. Closer to home a female student, believed to be unvaccinated, has been diagnosed with measles in Dunedin and is causing concern about an outbreak there as the student body returns to university.

Dogs and cats have to have vaccination certificates to be placed in a kennel or cattery. So too should kids have vaccination certificates to attend school. If the kids don't attend school the parents get locked up.

That's enough, there's more if you look.

Here in the southwest corner of Washington State, USA there is a measles outbreak. Sixty young kids infected so far in about two months. Luckily no deaths so far, with a lot of medical professionals frantically trying to contain it. It has so far cost little Clark County a quarter of their annual budget. And the whole deal was TOTALLY UNNECESSARY.

The county and state should send the bill to all the parents who refused the shots for their kids; why should the rest of us pay for them??!! Next, I'd like the state to enact a new law saying that anyone can opt to refuse these traditional basic shots, . . . but they will have to take their family and move out-of-state within one year.

An interesting recent development, country-wide, is teens taking themselves to medical facilities to ask for the innoculations that their parents refused to let them get as little kids. Of course the religious fundamentalists and conspiracy fanatics and Youtube pseudo-science frauds will all be telling us that these teens have been brainwashed by the schools, but THEY are the ones who've been brainwashed.

As kids I remember my mother and aunties making sure us kids got a dose of measles,mumps and chickenpox while we were pre college.
I was wondering when these vaccines started in nz:

measles 1969

mumps 1990

chickenpox 2017

Obvously most the baby boomers would of had the same experience?

Early on in the piece it suggests that rates of death from common diseases had fallen prior to the introduction of vaccines in the 1960s. Which sort of overlooks the introduction of antibiotics some thirty years earlier. As the effectiveness of antibiotics diminishes so it is likely the importance of vaccines will increase.

Anyhoo about that point I decided the article was too silly to waste time on, so I'm going to do something sensible - like breakfast.

Were there too many big words for you?

Antibiotics do nothing for viruses, only for bacteria.

Measles = virus
Mumps = virus
Rubella = virus
Hepatitis A = virus
Hepatitis B = virus
Hepatitis C = virus
Japanese B encephalitis = virus
Polio = virus
Rabies = virus
... bit of a pattern here, yes? Helpful to vaccinate, no?
