    I'm referring to negative side effects. If I eat an apple I am healthier with no negative side effects.

    Cancers

    Cancers are not cured by doctors. Even the medical industry claims there is no cure for cancer. There are all kinds of "walks to find a cure." Some cancers are destroyed from someones body but that is not a cure. If the person survives the treatment they may not have any cancer left but that is not a cure. Surgical repairs are not cures. I'm talking about diseases and sicknesses.

    Yep. You don't have any. Because most people don't. Some however do. And it can occur suddenly. http://bodyodd.nbcnews.com/_news/2011/10/12/8276488-when-an-apple-allergy-suddenly-appears?lite[^] Same as the vast number of people who are vaccinated have no problems. And side by side risk analysis suggests that vaccinations are better than no vaccinations. Just as eating is better than not eating (because every food has someone that is allergic to it.

    I think that is a valid point. However more people are alive because of the treatments they received from doctors. They wouldn't be alive if they had decided that there was no real cure so they were just going to stay home.

      So you choose risk of polio over the risk of the vaccine?

      I didn't say that. I have been talking about vaccines in general. There is a good argument for vaccinating for polio. I don't think anyone is crazy if they choose not to. But what about the flu vaccine? I've had the flu a few times, so what? I don't care if you do or don't vaccinate. My point is, neither side is crazy.

      Quote:

      You also choose to piss all over the opportunity

      Sounds like an emotional statement from a junior high schooler. So, I suppose if your child was one of the few who dies or got a brain tumor from a polio vaccine, you would feel honored and proud because you are doing your part for society? A small sacrifice for society.

      I suspect that you might care if you caught the flu or your neighbor did and then your 18 month old baby died from it. Or your 90 year old grandmother. Or if you took either of them to the doctor and the doctor took the same view as you. And so they died.

      I doubt that there is any medical evidence to the support that claim.

      Specious. Parents always blame themselves for a death. They also attempt to find someone or something else to blame as well. And there have been wide spread scares propagated by that very need.

        That would be tragic. However, there are natural cures for the flu and I would rather take that small risk and cure the flu naturally then take the small risk of developing a brain disorder, which may not have any cure.

        Hah!! That will be the day. Haven't been to the doctor in many, many years, and never plan to. They don't fix anything. Actually, the last time I went to a doctor many years ago I caught the flu! Cesspool of nastiness.

        I already showed you, and you ignored it. The CDC admits they can cause brain damage.

          How? I stated the US is different than many other countries so find out what the rates are in other countries. Do you know what irrelevant means? CDC. You're right, they just order them and they are the main source for encouraging vaccines. Still a biased source. Even though the CDC is biased, even they admit there can be serious side effects. http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/side-effects.htm[^] From the CDC, the DTaP vaccine can cause long-term seizures, coma, or permanent brain damage. They claim they aren't sure it was caused by the vaccine but why post it? Because there is good evidence it is. Also, the influenza vaccine has caused life-threatening allergic reactions and even GBS. MMR - permanent brain damage. Varicella- seizure. Yellow Fever - organ failure - death Any more evidence?

          Your statement is false. They post it because they want to disclose what they do know. And what they do know is "These are so rare it is hard to tell if they are caused by the vaccine."

          Specious. The last is a condition that occurred in the 70s and has not occurred since.

          Specious. And cherry picking. MMR - again the occurrence is so low that they are not sure that there is an association. Varicella - again the occurrence is so low that they are not sure that there is an association. Yellow Fever - Utter and complete nonsense. The mortality rate for yellow fever starts at 3% and can get as high as 50%. And survivors run some risk of liver damage. Not to mention of course that this vaccination has nothing to do with the US.

            Nice try. "But the risk of a vaccine causing serious harm, or death, is extremely low." That is what the CDC says. They don't say it is impossible, which is what most of the responses to my messages have been. I have never argued against getting vaccines. There may be a great reason to vaccinate against yellow fever or polio. My point all along is there is risk of serious brain damage with vaccinations so someone who chooses not to do it is not crazy. Both sides have a valid argument.

              There are no proven effective cures or definitive treatments for the influenza virus, natural or otherwise. The safest management strategy for at-risk populations (children, elderly, immunocompromised) is seasonal vaccination of themselves and close contacts and frequent handwashing. Your callous "well I had the flu once and I had fine" is noted, but I've seen lots of people get admitted to hospital requiring oxygen, sometimes requiring intubation and ICU, and sometimes die from influenza or its complications. I didn't realize that we could have just cured them with an herbal remedy or a tea made from ginkgo leaves or something while they were coughing up blood and struggling to breathe, I'll have to suggest that next time.

The doctor told us there "is nothing you can do" to heal it naturally. She said we had to put tubes in his ears. We got a second opinion from another doctor and they told us the same thing. A quick ask around from friends and we used garlic oil to clear it up. We went back to the doctor to make sure the infection was gone and the doctor had nothing to say. They were amazed. Doctors presrcibe medicine, which has side effects. THEY DO NOT TREAT THE PROBLEM, THEY TREAT SYMPTOMS. Not too useful.

                      They didn't. Many died in childbirth. More died in infancy or childhood of treatable infections or were left with permanent damage. You just don't realize how good you have it now.

                        Thanks for the history lesson. Yes, I am aware of this. Obviously the mortality rate is much much better now but you acted like we couldn't live without doctors. They are the all knowing. Go talk to some old timer out in the country and you'll be amazed at how simple things can cure stuff you go to the pharmacy for. Most of that knowledge is lost in society. I'm guess you don't believe in the Bible but there are accounts of people living over 900 years old. Can't do that with today's technology.

                          You can bluster all you want but the fact is there are millions of people who are alive today and not paralyzed, not brain damaged, and living normal, functional lives instead of suffering in agony because of modern medical science. Old timer knowledge is great - again - for the piddly shit that usually goes away on its own. Go find an old timer that can reliably treat people with ulcerative colitis so they're not having dozens of bloody, painful diarrheas a day. Nobody lives to 900 years old because that is complete and utter nonsense. But hey, if you want to believe that, good for you. There's nothing wrong with setting lofty goals. :rolleyes:

                          Sorry, but it's a possibility that he wasn't having seizures - everyone can be wrong. Even you. How do you know something else wasn't going on? You don't know. You always have to consider other possibilities otherwise you prematurely close and miss things.

                            *sigh* but you're not making any sort of reasonable point. Science is still the best possible tool to know things. It's only wrong when proven wrong, or, at least, we should only assume it's wrong when proven wrong.

                            Not at all. If you're being told something and you refuse to listen, you're choosing to be ignorant.

                            ROTFL - the rise in people not vaccinating is believed, through known mechanisms, to lower herd immunity. What we're seeing is the fulfilment of a rational hypothesis. As such, there is causality by a known mechanism. That's what your theories lack.

                            I am sorry. I do not want to troll, although you seem to be trolling. But, this is stupid. Facts are only known facts if they are proven to be true. And science does that. So, if something is not proven by science, then by what mechanism are they 'facts' ? The fact is, you saw a correlation and assumed a causality. You have been asked several times to give me an article to read that explains the causality you claim, and it's mechanism, and shows from the data that vaccination results in increases in autism. You don't even accept that you need to show these things, which means you don't understand causality at all.

                              So, 'you are full of it' was a polite enquiry as to how many autistic people I know ? Knowing some autistic people is actually irrelevant. Lots of people knew of cases of mental retardation and still assumed it was demon possession. That I know a lot about brain science speaks more to my knowledge of what autism is, than how many autistic friends I have.

                              Well, again, you just don't get it. There is a path of causality here, the deaths prove a theory. Where is the theory of how vaccinations 'cause' autism ?

                                Thank you for the example of causality, because up until now, I didn't know what it was. ;P The same thing happened with gravity. Newton first thought it was constant everywhere. He did the best he could with the science he had. But he was wrong. Does that mean we should not listen to anything science says? Of course not, science is great. BUT IT DOES NOT KNOW EVERYTHING. You say you understand that, but you don't get it. You continue to admit that science CAN be wrong and I give you evidence that shows that vaccines can cause brain damage and you are so narrow-minded and stubborn that you can't see what is right in front of your face.

                                But what it knows IS what we know, and the scientific method is how we advance what we know. That is my point. What science knows IS what WE know.

                                I am not sure if brain damage is a real risk, but I know there ARE real ( but tiny ) risks. What you need to understand is that everyone needs to take a tiny risk in order to do away with a much, much larger danger.

                                  ROTFL - the rise in people not vaccinating is believed, through known mechanisms, to lower herd immunity. What we're seeing is the fulfilment of a rational hypothesis. As such, there is causality by a known mechanism. That's what your theories lack.

                                  I am sorry. I do not want to troll, although you seem to be trolling. But, this is stupid. Facts are only known facts if they are proven to be true. And science does that. So, if something is not proven by science, then by what mechanism are they 'facts' ? The fact is, you saw a correlation and assumed a causality. You have been asked several times to give me an article to read that explains the causality you claim, and it's mechanism, and shows from the data that vaccination results in increases in autism. You don't even accept that you need to show these things, which means you don't understand causality at all.

                                    So, 'you are full of it' was a polite enquiry as to how many autistic people I know ? Knowing some autistic people is actually irrelevant. Lots of people knew of cases of mental retardation and still assumed it was demon possession. That I know a lot about brain science speaks more to my knowledge of what autism is, than how many autistic friends I have.

                                    Well, again, you just don't get it. There is a path of causality here, the deaths prove a theory. Where is the theory of how vaccinations 'cause' autism ?

                                    No, all they do is prove the theory may have some merit. It is not proof. It is still belief.

                                      Herd Immunity is a natural phenomenon. Prior to vaccination, cycles of natural infection added to the herd’s immunity. In my generation Measles, Chickenpox, Mumps, etc. were encountered several times during our school days, conferring immunity. Vaccinating a large proportion of the population is thought to achieve a similar result: that the non-vaccinated minority will not be exposed to diseases no longer carried by the vaccinated majority. Since it is possible for outbreaks of a disease (e.g. measles) to occur in a 100% vaccinated population, this definition of Herd Immunity is open to debate.
