"It would be bad enough if the only victims of this mass delusion were the children of parents who refused to vaccinate. But as we know, once enough people are unvaccinated by choice, it compromises herd immunity—endangering children too young to vaccinate, people with legitimate medical reasons for being unvaccinated, and the subset of people for whom vaccinations didn’t work.

The World Health Organization estimates that the measles vaccine alone saved more than 21 million lives from 2000 to 2017. But the anti-vaxxer movement has resulted in a 30 percent spike in measles cases worldwide and a reemergence of a disease that had been effectively eradicated in the United States." ................................................................................................


What personal experience have you had of the anti-vaxing issue?

I saw an ad today by anti Vaxers talking about it causing autism.

I think that saying it causes autism is like a crutch they use.
I haven't read or heard of definitive scientific proof that it causes autism.

My son is vaxxed and autistic. Do I think they're connected? No. I've read about children not being vaccinated and STILL having autism. I've heard though that they don't think it causes autism but that it causes gut issues that correlate with autism. I could maybe see that. However, I would rather have an autistic child than a dead one and I will continue to vaccinate.

Nope as a medical professional it's totally idiotic and dangerous
