I believe she has Hep C, for which there is no vaccineAll I can say is ask Pam Anderson if she could have gotten immunized against HEP B and I am confident she would have said YES.
Anti vaxxers are tinfoil hat wearing idiots.

I think they are the home schooled type regardless.There must be a rule now for kids. No vaccination, no public school. That won’t solve the spread in other public places, but it would send a message. You don’t want to vaccinate your kids, you can home school them.
My feeling exactly...There must be a rule now for kids. No vaccination, no public school. That won’t solve the spread in other public places, but it would send a message. You don’t want to vaccinate your kids, you can home school them. .
Well said treveller! A message that is so needed now, especially with all the polarization and people living in their own bubbles. A refreshing, intelligent and self aware message!Anybody heard of the "backfire effect"? When you simply attack people with unreasonable beliefs they become more devoted to those beliefs. If you want to have any hope of reasoning with these unreasonable people you have work very carefully with them. You have to understand and sympathize with their beliefs then slowly work on their ability to reason and the legitimacy of the material they believe. Not an easy task.
Good summation by clu.Point in case Autism
Farm kids do have fewer allergies IMHO....I'm no doctor but I do understand a little about the immune system dealing with animals everyday.80watts, it's not just "weakened" it's crippled. The virus can not replicate. So vaccines can't ever "reach the contagious stage". They've effectively been neutered but are still recognisable by the immune system, which then templates against it so that it has a head start if it ever encounters the live virus.
I don't know what you're referring to re: Autism unless it's the debunked Wakefield paper. (It's astounding how a single paper could do so much damage.) The Autism-vaccine "link" is thoroughly refuted, and Wakefield was identified to have a financial interest in this disinformation. It's unfortunate that Autism symptoms present around age 2 (councidentally around the same time as a prescribed vaccine battery), allowing some superstitious people to cling to the correlation-causation fallacy.
One theory on the rise of peanut allergies and the like is that it's to do with hyper-cleanliness. Kids on farms statistically get less allergies than kids in cities, and it's hypothesised that it's because the immune system practices. If there's not enough natural contaminants, then the immune system picks on random things instead, resulting in allergies.
Yep...for most of human history, we grew up in less than ideal hygienic environments.Farm kids do have fewer allergies IMHO....I'm no doctor but I do understand a little about the immune system dealing with animals everyday.
If the immune system isn't tested, it will find something to deal with to evolve within the body, it needs to be challenged.....let your kids eat dirt.
I wonder if this mindset still exists when their child contracts a deadly virus?...and how much they rely on modern medicine to save that little life once a virus is detected.Six reasons why people are anti vaccination according to
The World Health Organization
I have no idea how I could discuss pro vaccination with people who have these dark state delusional ideas.
Misconceptions
Introduction
"Diseases had already begun to disappear before vaccines were introduced, because of better hygiene and sanitation".
"The majority of people who get disease have been vaccinated."
"There are "hot lots" of vaccine that have been associated with more adverse events and deaths than others. Parents should find the numbers of these lots and not allow their children to receive vaccines from them."
"Vaccines cause many harmful side effects, illnesses, and even death - not to mention possible long-term effects we don't even know about."
"Vaccine-preventable diseases have been virtually eliminated from my country, so there is no need for my child to be vaccinated."
"Giving a child multiple vaccinations for different diseases at the same time increases the risk of harmful side effects and can overload the immune system".
