Thank goodness, I was so tired of one of my relatives posting those anti vaccines articles, maybe that's why they've suddenly disappeared from her post. She didn't even do stuff like that until she married some extremely religious guy. I could go through and counter the majority of the one's she was posting.

What people get confused about is the new reporting system that anyone who see's a doctor after getting a vaccine for illness is reported on the system. That includes even a common cold where a child may run a temperature, that had nothing to do with the vaccine. If someone falls down and breaks a leg three days after a vaccine that gets reported...but it doesn't have anything to do with the vaccine it's just a coincidence.

Just like I got a flu shot this year and lucky I got it early as something's been running through the family like wildfire, high temperature, vomiting, no appetite, it could be the flu but despite being exposed to all of them I haven't gotten it. I use to get sick at least once a year really bad. My doctor would often try and talk me into getting a flu shot and I never would. I told them I never get the flu. Then one year I relented and got the flu shot and I didn't get sick that year. There's been a couple years I haven't gotten sick and during the years I have it's been mild compared to what I use to go through.

People who are anti vaccine won't be happy until thousands of people start dropping dead from illnesses that use to be so prevalent in the past but were wiped out by vaccines. Sure there are risk involved and those who have suffered the risk are compensated but those risk far outweigh a total catastrophe. I know that's easier for me to say then someone who may have lost a child but the evidence is the means far outweigh the risk...including into the future when some adult people whose parents opted not to get their children immunized as children watched as their adult children died or suffered irreparable damage from a lack of vaccine as children.

I am convinced that if there was a world wide unknown deadly outbreak that was killing thousands of people and they found a vaccine these same people badmouthing vaccines would be the first one's lining up to get one.
