Current Affairs Vaccinations (v2.0)

[Zezti]

Was going to bump last thread but it was locked due to age. Its something I feel quite strongly about so here we go again.

Fresh headlines today:
- Measles cases in Europe tripled last year
- Measles outbreak declared in Philippines

In developing countries it could be understood that access to vaccinations is limited, but for modern-day Europe? There's no excuse apart from stupidity. Parents who not only put themselves, but their children and the people their children are around, in danger.

Measles can kill. People have forgotten its severity thanks to vaccinations. Though its only one of many dangerous diseases prevented by vaccinations.

Don't be stupid. Vaccinate.

Drives me bonkers too. I know a bloke whose wife was totally against vaccinations, he was going to kidnap the child to get him vaccinated. Problem is they've heard too much about a slight risk of autism linked to the MMR jab and haven't seen what happens when a sick child dies of a preventable disease. Can you imagine going back in time and telling a mother who lost a child in the 30s/40s that in the future they could have a jab that is easy to get and free to have to prevent getting ill, but some parents think they don't need it. They'd think they were nuts.

Should be compulsory and if the parents still kick up a fuss then the kids should be taken away from them.

Not even a slight risk of autism.

Not even a slight risk of autism.

Even if there was it is still a no brainer.

Anyone who doesn't vaccinate their kids should be prepared to be injected with the diseases they won't vaccinate their kids against.

Sure. Just wanted to clear that popular misconception up.

Well the current president buys into it doesn’t he , which I suppose isn’t a massive surprise.

Words cannot describe how much I detest Andrew Wakefield.

Active "Celebrity" anti-vaxxers such as Jim Carey and Charlie Sheen make my blood boil too. I also feel guilty for having so many wanks over Jenny McCarthey when I was younger as well.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Is Jim Carrey an antivaxxer?! Jesus that’s depressing.

Unbelievable how so much BS has built up around a fabricated study

Yeah, this is important, there is no basis for links to autism. It’s no different to saying Mars Bars cause ADHD. Wakefield is a vile man and anyone who is an anti-vaxxer is either an idiot or a intentional killer

McCarthy? Deffo still would.

You would need a full body condom, just in case.
