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)

http://tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations If only we stopped eating cheese, no one would die by being strangled in their bed sheets. If we stopped eating margarine, there would be no more divorce in the state of Michigan.

ETA: But we should eat mozzarella cheese, so that we can award more civil engineering doctorates.

ETA: If people in Kentucky stopped getting married, less people would drown after falling out of fishing boats.

How do u compare vaccines to antibiotics?

Treating an illness, vs. poisoning your healthy body ! (Manufactured perfectly by Hashem)

Nebech on the people of the UK and Belgium , they are all very sick , because they are not loaded up with all the vaccines. As we have here in the USA

About the effects: a huge percentage of children in Lakewood and N.Y. (as well across the USA) have learning disabilities, vs. other countries.

Dr. Roberts, just because that pamphlet does not have a name (for you to humiliate) on it, does not take away it’s truthfulness.
Having a difficult time figuring out what you wrote. Can you try english? (somehow this is common with comments like this)

Can you show that they are healthier in England? I can show that with a much smaller population they have 10 times as many measles cases. Do you have numbers to back up there being a difference in learning disabilities between the countries? That pamphlet has been debunked right here on this forum long ago.

hmmmm. Is that a correlation between poor command of the English language and being an Anti-Vaxer?

You can't talk sense to someone looking for a reason for their learning disabled child.

This is why everyone needs to be vaccinated, vaccines are always ineffective on a percentage of those who got them. In this case 7%

poor response
It is actually quite substantive in giving an explanation for why some people ignore all evidence about vaccines. It is definitely a better response that what you responded to these since you did not respond at all.

This is so wrong on many different levels. CYA to the extreme. This guy is an idiot. He sounds like he was a professional witness all his career. Obviously never heard of hearsay. This whole controversy is 15th hand information.
What's the controversy?

The should you, or should you not, vaccinate controversy. This video does not set forth any admissible evidence. I fail to see the purpose in posting this. I personally agree with him that you should vaccinate. But what are you trying to prove. Building proof from a conversation with R' Malkiel that R' Akiva Tatz it a good and trustworthy guy who quoted R' Elyashiv and R' Chaim Kanievsky. This is not a Rav Chaim that needs to clarify a Rambam that is a built on 2 gemaras that dont agree with each other. What I'm saying is that this exercise in mental gymnastics is pointless and irrelevant.

But so Lakewood.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

He's talking to people on their level. I'm not convinced listening to gedolim will change anyone's mind nor that what a frum doctor vs every other doctor in the world says will change anyone's mind either. But I personally applaud his effort.

Dumb it down for dummies.

I dont think any amount of talking to people who have made up their mind based on crock evidence will do anything. Especially this line of reasoning.

This is not a shtickel gemara where you bring proofs.
