Facts
The flu vaccine causes more deaths per year than chicken pox.
The direct injection of RSV immunoglobulin, commonly known as the "RSV vaccine" would prevent 16x more deaths than the flu vaccine does, but is too expensive.
There is a vaccine for the plague, and that is why it is no longer an epidemic.
Ebola is caused by vaccines.
There is a vaccine for autism, but it causes mumps.


Opinions
Vaccines do not contain thimerosal, a known toxin.
If you snuck up on your neighbor's kid and cut open his skull, you would be arrested.  But when brain surgeons do it, and charge hundreds of thousands of dollars, it considered "medicine."
99% of vaccines do not cause autism (HT JJ1000).
Every pedi has seen healthy kids become sick physically & mentally hours after a vax (HT Baryochai)
Vaccines cause cancer, infertility, astma, adhd etc (HT Baryochai)

Yes, it was sarcastic. What does Lipitor playing with numbers IN A COMMERCIAL have anything to do with this?

Why the blind love for the naturalists? They stand to make a heck of a lot more money on this fear of medicine then doctors have in protecting vaccines... In fact doctors would make way more $$ if people became sick with vaccine-preventable diseases!

One pediatrician I spoke to told me he loses money on one of the vaccines (I forget which ).

Everything about how you are using them is BS. the overwhelming majority of doctors recommended 7-UP as a diet supplement? Did they also do hundreds of studies to prove that cigarettes were safe? Every point you made was deceitful (if not by you then by the website that you copied it from) and incorrect. The only accurate point is that medicine and science is always a work in progress. It has always found a way to correct itself when errors were found. Vaccines have been tested for a long time and they have consistently proven to be an effective method that has saved millions of lives with limited risk. If this were ever proven to be otherwise, medicine would evolve like it always does.
So why trust the medical establishment which, by it's own admission, is always evolving, rather than trust the alternative establishment that got it right from the start? ::)

Its just the idea that everything isnt as it seems. False advertisement does happen everyday.
Listen if someone told me that acupuncture could cure cancer, I wouldn't run to it. I'd be skeptical. But in my best interest I would also do some basic research.

The internet's power of information dissemination as a great equalizer is not limited to overthrowing Muslim dictators.
Are you not aware of the fact that every medical database is available on the internet?
No one is suggesting to base your health decisions off what you find online.
But what you find online can empower you to ask tough questions from your health professional.

And your comment about natural selection is callous and completely uncalled for.

Doing research in medical journals that happen to be online couldn't be any further than doing research on Google. That's like saying because every sefer is online, you can just google psak halacha. Anyone with a qualified opinion will publish it in an established medical journal. Ergo, 99.9% of anything on the internet that isn't in a medical journal is from people who would be barely qualified to apply a band-aid

And the natural selection comment is just fact. Natural selection has taken a huge hit in this decade thanks to modern medicine. But if you refuse it, then you're much more suseptible to natural selection

Oh come on man. What does false advertising have to do with the hundreds of studies done on vaccines? And guess what, even that one ad from lipitor was discovered and they were dealt severely for it. Don't you think that with all the scrutiny on vaccines someone would be able to uncover something if there was this grand conspiracy happening in the name of $$? And your comment about orthopedic surgeons before is stupid, even if they would cut off a healthy person's foot for money (which the majority would never do) there is something called oversight that protects people. Vaccines have oversight also, lots of it.

I don't disagree with you that you should be smart, but like you said look at the food products we put into our body daily. Look at the electronics all around us. These have practically zero oversight, maybe it's time to look at them as a possible source of autism and other ills rather than the already heavily scrutinized vaccines.

One of the major problems with alternative medicines is that they rarely have to stand up to defend themselves. And if they ever do have to - and it's discovered that they are phony - they disappear and pop up again in a new form. It's very easy to scrutinize medicine and that's a good thing and it helps it change for the better. Show me alternative therapies that can stand up to that level of scrutiny. It's a damn good system, but they're always happy to try to make it better.

I don't even feel that this conversation is about vaccines anymore. The idea is not to blame vaccines. The idea is just tk look into it. Like I said, I have all my vaccines and probably will give it to my children as well.
Its not even about conspiracy theories. About people making money while we suffer
I'm not trying to imply any of that. But I have noticed some weird things happen especially that advertisement (which I was right about).
From that perspective, it makes sense to look into something. Not for neurotic paranoid reasons. Just for common sense and for practical knowledge

And there are plenty of surgeons who opt for surgery. I had a cyst cut out of my hand by a surgeon in NYC. He advised me to get it cut out. I went for a follow to a different doctor after the surgery- he said he would never have cut that out.he would have punctured it with a needle and drained the fluid. The body does not need to undergo trauma for a cyst.

So no, I don't feel that my comment was inappropriate. Especially if I was subjected to that kind of treatment before.

Mind you, he made 8,000

I assume you have not read most of this thread. If you had, you would see that I agree with you completely that it's important to use your head and think things through. However I approach it from a completely different perspective. I am going to trust the doctors and researchers until such time that there is decent evidence showing a problem. I have not seen anything remotely resembling that yet.

You said you will give it to your children because the schools make you. You consistently indicated that there is cause for concern about conspiracies (lipitor and the orthopedic comment amongst others) on a thread about vaccines, it sure seems like you are implying that we should not trust what research has determined about vaccines. If I misunderstood your intent I apologize.

the lipitor advertisement is a terrible argument considering that it was placed by a business interested only in profits and that it was discovered promptly and corrected. Vaccines are vouched for and researched by people who stand to make no $ on it and it is constantly being monitored with errors in "advertising" being discovered at all.

That's why I'm trying to be as open as I can. Vaccines are not bad. They save millions of lives. My point is not proving their bad, but that there can be some stuff which has caused genetic mutations resulting in things like autism,ADHD, etc.

Once again, idk a lot about things. I'm just in the beginning stages of my research. FROM WHAT IVE HEARD, it makes sense to do research. Understandably, the lipitor thing wasn't relavent but from my point of view, it furthered the drive for money and POSSIBLE misinterpratations of results.

Are there doctors who are more trigger happy? Always! Find a good one that you are comfortable with. Is it possible he was concerned about a greater risk? Possibly. Why didn't you go for a second opinion and make the best decision for you? Regardless this has absolutely nothing to do with the vaccine discussion. Vaccines are not going to benefit almost any doctor financially and it is highly regulated (unlike a single cyst removal procedure).

Your jump in logic is just wrong.
Plenty of well-credentialed doctors have blogs/write articles that don't appear in a medical journal.
You think doctors only write things if they will appear in medical journals? :o
You obviously haven't any research of your own if you have that opinion.

That is highly debatable. But whether it is true or not, the fact that you consider natural selection wiping out a large portion of the population a good thing is very disturbing.
