Conspiracy theories aside... do you support mandatory vaccinations?
Do I have a right to refuse a vaccine?...
As far as I have observed, vaccination has always been by assent. Why change things?
But, I do believe that those who abstain from vaccination are actually reducing the overall effectiveness of any vaccination campaign. It is an extremely anti-social thing to do to everyone else.
Nonetheless, if 20% abstain, that leaves a herd immunity of 80%, sufficient to overcome the pathogen - eventually. And those who abstain and catch the disease are naturally immunized (if they don't die, or become permanently disfigured by the illness), so there is a fudge factor even in those figures.
Especially if there has been no publicly independent review, the company is making a profit from the vaccine (creating a conflict of interest between their bottom line and my health) and I am not allowed to see the underlying data and research behind the vaccine?
Am I not allowed to raise my concerns, and refuse based on a gag on the information related to health choices that others are both profiting from and have made for me?
Governmental medical policies on vaccines have put me in a position where I am incapable of making an informed decision due to lack of information. Rather, I am expected to "take their word" on the expert medical advice that I am not allowed to question... scary.
Note: This post was posted in another vaccine thread, with zero responses... curious if you have a response, as the questions are not conspiracy related.
Vaccines aren't perfectly benign. The risk is small, but there is risk. As such, vaccination for trivial and transitory illness is wrong because it exposes people to unnecessary risk.
The issue to me is the monetization of medicine (not just immunization). In many countries of the world, immunization against deadly diseases are fully subsidized by governments. This allows medical advancement to make money but defrays end user costs as a fraction of taxation of the entire population. It also allows oversight panels to review the necessity of, and therefore the subsidy of, medicines. Not so in America where the pure profit motive drives medicine.
I did not vaccinate my children. I can tell you based on the chicken pox vaccine that the only thing the vaccine did was change the virus. How do I know that? Because every time the chicken pox was going around the elementary school I'd get a call from the school nurse informing me of the "outbreak" and informing me I could keep the kids home if I wanted to. I made play dates with the kids we knew that had them so my kids would catch them and get it over with. Wanna know what's even more interesting? I was unable to get my children to catch the chicken pox from the infected children who were vaccinated against it and passing it around to each other. Think about that. It's a new strain that ONLY vaccinated children pass around to each other. Those with no vaccine don't or can't catch it.
Let's assume that those who have had decided to take said covid vaccine only spread around a "new vaccinated strain" to each other and those who don't have the injection are going to be the ones blamed for getting the vaccinated sick. It'll be some effed up bull# what ever the outcome.
And to say that vaccines are harmless is just not true. Look into vaccine injury cases which in the US alone has paind out over 4.2 Billion in rewards (that figure does NOT include attorney fee awards as well) from harm caused by vaccines. My nephew died after and because of round of vaccines he was given. I don't know if you've ever been to a child's funeral but when the casket is made for a baby it's pretty damn sad. I also have a niece and a nephew who are both autistic after having their 'mandatory' shots. They were perfectly fine prior to the injections and some how mysteriously stopped responding and making eye contact. They no longer tried speaking or playing with favorite toys.
Sorry, I got a bit off topic of the particular virus we are discussing but to say the risk is small (and that is on vaccines with lots of supposed research and testing) I would have to kindly strongly disagree.

They also didn't use the German manufactured tests, instead, they mandated that US made test kits would have to be used
And your point was what ?
It was not shutdown because of surveillance but for the return of the surveillance data back to the testee. The FDA knew about the surveillance and was apparently ok with that.

Bill Gates, Bill Clinton and George Soros are the 3 big backers of H.R. 6666. The rabbit hole runs deep.
