You're repeating yourself.
You're repeating yourself.
Having said that, however, I am quite happy that I have had the measles -- as have my kids -- and I therefore KNOW that I will never contract the measles (again). Unlike the "benefits" of vaccination and herd immunity.
Your happy you contracted measles because then you can never catch it again . Got it . Those poor people getting vaccinations and never contracting measles . Worst anti vax statement ever .

I'm kind of baffled as to the point of this? Stock images are used to illustrate articles all the time. It's not an image being used as evidence of anything, it's just used as an illustration. Do you think the use of an altered stock photo to illustrate a topic proves something? Anything?
Not enough people being vacinated made the "Ten Threats to Global Health.." list.
Vaccine hesitancy β the reluctance or refusal to vaccinate despite the availability of vaccines β threatens to reverse progress made in tackling vaccine-preventable diseases. Vaccination is one of the most cost-effective ways of avoiding disease β it currently prevents 2-3 million deaths a year, and a further 1.5 million could be avoided if global coverage of vaccinations improved.
John's Hopkins
Measles is a highly contagious viral infection β one of the most contagious of all known infections. Nine out of 10 unimmunized children who are in contact with an infected person will contract the virus.
When complications do occur, they can include ear infections, pneumonia, and encephalitis or inflammation of the brain that can lead to permanent neurologic damage and even death. On average, measles kills between one and three of every 1,000 infected children.

There isn't a measles outbreak?
Trump fell for it?

I was joking.
That said, you're saying people are thinking like d-bags and asking people to have civil discussion with you. π€
Yes, thinking that lying to push a narrative is just AOK, is exactly thinking like a D-bag. It is up to each person to ask themselves, is that how I think? If so, perhaps I am thinking like a D-bag?
Sometimes, a d-bag is just a d-bag.

I really canβt believe that people are still so against vaccination. But I guess you will always have those weak minded individuals who jump on the latest controversial bandwagon.

Don't go asking anti-vaxxers for evidence.
The most we can hope for is that these people will weed themselves out without too much collateral damage.

No it isn't.
There are right and wrong answers.
The OP is all wrong answers. And a hypocrite as well, as I have shown.
Oh so blind faith is your option.
Facts are my only friend here and I don't ignore some to make me think something that may not be true appear true.
Data is my point of interest here. Debate the data.
on a scientific reason, I do see the need to take at least some of them.

How the hell is reading a paper on the efficacy and safety of vaccines blind faith? That's what I've been preaching here.
Facts are my only friend here and I don't ignore some to make me think something that may not be true appear true.
What facts am I ignoring? Propaganda does not a fact make. I thought we learned this already with the current political climate. I guess not.
Data is my point of interest here. Debate the data.
What data have you presented? What peer review study on the safety of vaccines have you shown to back up your opinions? I've yet to see the OP or you post any, maybe they're invisible and can only be seen by the vaccine injured?
on a scientific reason, I do see the need to take at least some of them.
So you equate scientific reasoning (which is based on evidence from studies and trials) to being not much more than blind faith, but seem to think that this can be reasonably applied to only SOME vaccines.
This is incomplete logic.
Fix it.
