I really don’t understand how people can take such a risk with their babies lives. I will admit when the kids were little I didn’t think much about the so called usual childhood ailments. Then my kids got the chicken poxs. The boys had mild cases daughter was on the verge of hospitalization. Very scary to see a 5 year old go from waking me at 530 am to make sure she hadn’t missed the school bus to high fever and spots every where even her eyes. Was very glad when they finally made a vaccine for it. Why would anyone take that sort of risk?
Two things:
1. Not everyone objects to immunizing children for measles but what they do object to is the combined Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine that can have deleterious side effects including death.
Vaccinating children for these three diseases separately and over a longer period of time is proven to be safer and many so-called "anti-vaxxers" have no problem with this protocol and are actually not 'anti-vaxxers'.
2. Just because a corporation calls something a 'vaccine' does not automagically make it any safer than any of their other products like OxyContin, fentanyl, Fen-fen, thalidomide, Valium, etc.
It's the same selfish banking fucks from Wall Street driving the profit margins on vaccines as on any other drug but those bastards know that some people have an irrational and maybe even supernatural belief that something called a vaccine is inherently infallible.
And as Charles pointed out there's a shit-ton of money involved in pushing specific patented and profitable forms of these vaccines as opposed to generic individual vaccines.
