Will be interesting to see if that percentage corresponds to a drop in the number of kids diagnosed with autism, ADD, ADHD, allergies, etc...
You know that has been studied pretty thoroughly. Or do we not believe studies anymore? Funny, there does not seem to be an acceptable answer anymore on anything. You show a study, it is disregarded for some quack YouTube conspiracy nut. Or someone who knows a kid with Autism. Have a friend that has a slightly autistic child and blames Vax back in 90's. No proof, other kids same batch no problem. Guess it is emotionally easier to blame a shot than genetics.
Well, the autism rates may be hard to document, but the rise in these diseases and other that used to under control is pretty straight forward.
Yep.
Vaccine Sam approves of the glib response.
Why are you afraid of getting your kids vaxxed, Sam?
I'm not.
So you lied when you said you didn't want your kids boosted because of concerns over myocarditis?
No, I've just never made a point of taking as many vaccines as possible just for the sake of taking vaccines. When the first vaccine came out, the evidence showed that the risk of heart damage to children from the disease was worse than the risk from the vaccine. That appears not to be the case with the new vaccine and the now dominant strain of the virus. It may well change as newer variants and newer vaccines develop. I'll continue to make decisions based on evidence and sound medical advice rather than emotion and superstition.
Ah, so those of us who chose not to get their kids vaxxed for COVID-19 were making our decisions on emotion and superstition, while yours was made on evidence and sound medical advice. Uh huh.
Get back to me when your kid has permanent brain damage after contracting encephalitis following his MMR vaccine. But I guess it wasn't sound advice when our doctors told us not to have him take any more vaccines?
Such an arrogant and elitist POS.
I can't speak to everyone who chose not to get their kids vaxxed. I can safely say most of the arguments in this forum are highly emotional.
I am sorry about what happened to your child. You're entitled to your opinion, but there is next to no evidence it was caused by the MMR vaccine.
That was in fact the medical diagnosis by the doctors at Baylor University Medical Center, dbag. But I guess you know more than them?
Wouldn't surprise me in the least if that's what you think. You have a high opinion of yourself.
I won't speculate on their diagnosis without having seen it. What I do know is that such reactions, if they exist, are so rare as to be indistinguishable from background noise--except for one thing. One study did find a tendency for encephalitis cases to cluster around two weeks after vaccination. If that had happened in your case, I'd suspect it might be one of those incredibly rare cases where the vaccine was potentially involved. The fact that you described it as happening within 24 hours puts it outside that pattern and actually makes the connection less likely.
All that said, it would be very difficult for me as a parent to choose that vaccine for my kids after such an event. That's an emotional reaction I completely understand. I take exception, not with your personal decision as a parent, but with the constant stream of misinformation you seem compelled to produce in order to defend your decisions and promote them to others. The trend reported in the OP is just one sad result.
I know it's popular nowdays to call information you disagree with misinformation. I have spread none regarding vaccines.
Being a part of this world, I can tell you I've met dozens of parents with stories similar or worse to my own. One need look no further than the statistical rise in the conditions I referenced since 1986 to see the correlation. It's there, despite the pharmaceutical companies' best efforts to shield it from you. There is a reason that vaccine courts have paid out over $4 billion to people injured by their vaccines.
I am not anti-vaccine in the least. I am anti-vaccine for all people, such as my son. His little body was simply unable to handle the overload. And there's no reason whatsoever for the number of vaccines we are giving our children. It's become a very profitable endeavor for Big Pharma. But medically, it's totally unnecessary.
It would be best to not cast stones when you are keeping your kids from getting a vaccine due to safety concerns.
