IS THE POPE CATHOLIC??
YES.
YES.
YES.
YES.
FUCK YES.
Vaccines save thousands of lives every year. Ever heard about Polio?? A disease that used kill thousands of children in this country. (Read Nemesis by Philip Roth). 58,000 children used to get this disease a year—it left thousands dead or crippled for life.
So are vaccines necessary to save children from disability and disease? YES
Rubella can cause horrible congenital defects in children. By ensuring that every woman who might become pregnant has been vaccinated we save thousands of babies every year from being born deaf or with congenital heart defects.
So are vaccines necessary to protect babies in utero?? YES
The HPV vaccine prevents the top 2 strains of HPV that cause cervical cancer—a cancer that used to kill thousands of women in this country. (Not to mention it protects against 2 strains of genital warts!). The HBV vaccine prevents people from contracting Hepatitis B which can lead to HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma).
So can some vaccines prevent cancer?? YES
Some people cannot have vaccines. Some people are allergic to them, or are immunocompromised (patients with HIV, cancer patients, etc) and cannot tolerate the vaccine. By ensuring that all people who can be vaccinated are vaccinated we protect those people who cannot be vaccinated!!
So can vaccines protect children with inherited immunodeficiencies, those who are HIV+, cancer patients, and a whole long list of other people who aren’t able to vaccinated? YES.
Can vaccines prevent the elderly from suffering from certain types of pneumonia? YES.
Can vaccines save the lives of children bitten by rabid dogs? YES.
Diphtheria? Yes
HAV? HBV? HiB? HPV? H1N1? Yes.
Rotavirus? Chickenpox? Pertussis? Mumps? Yes.
Meningitis? YES
Tetanus? YES.
Did vaccination eradicate smallpox? A disease that killed thousands of people every year? YES.
What about Anthrax? Shingles? Yellow fever? YUP. YUP. YUP.
Does the vaccination of health professionals against influenza prevent thousands of patients from being exposed every year. YES!
So if vaccines are a “Big Pharma heist” I don’t really give a fuck—because it’s a scheme that saves thousands of people every year. (Besides—vaccines don’t make a lot of money for those companies at all! They count on Viagra to make their big bucks). NOT TO MENTION big pharma would make a hell of a lot more money on the drugs it would take to treat these people if they got sick…. SOOOO it sounds like they would make a hell of a lot more money off not producing the vaccines to me. But you can form your own opinion on that one—because whether or not they make money is not really the issue for me here! The issue is can we save lives??
This is the one and only time I will ever answer this question because it is a RIDICULOUS question. It is 100% OUTRAGEOUS that we have to have this debate in this country.
So for the record
DO VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM? NO
DO VACCINES SAVE LIVES? YES
CAN EVERYONE BE VACCINATED? NO
SHOULD EVERYONE WHO CAN BE VACCINATED GET VACCINATED? YES
DO VACCINES SAVE LIVES? YES
DO VACCINES SAVE LIVES? YES
DO VACCINES SAVE LIVES? YES
DO VACCINES SAVE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF LIVES EVERY YEAR? YES
So shut it down. Shut down anyone who tells you vaccines cause autism (because the guy who FALSIFIED the results of that study had his medical license pulled and his FAKE findings have been disproven a thousand times over).
Shut down anyone who tells you it’s about the money (because if it was about the money there would be more money made in producing designer drugs for erectile dysfunction).
Shut down anyone who tells you they’re dangerous (because while a VERY FEW people can have severe adverse reactions this is not only OUTRAGEOUSLY rare, but you are at a much higher risk from getting the disease than you are of having ANY side effect at all from the vaccine).
Shut it the fuck down.
IF YOU CAN BE VACCINATED GET VACCINATED.
Because guess who you protect when you get vaccinated?
Yourself
Your family
Your grandmother with cancer who can’t get the flu vaccine this year because of her chemo.
Your pregnant sister whose fetus could develop terrible birth defects if she were to be exposed to certain diseases.
Your roommates in the dorm from getting meningitis.
Your neighbors kids who might get pertussis if you haven’t been vaccinated.
The patients you see at the ER
Strangers on the bus
Children with BTK, SCID, and other immunodeficiencies.
ALMOST EVERY OTHER PERSON ON THE PLANET.
So guess what—vaccines are perhaps one of the best developments of modern medicine in my opinion. And if only people would stop asking these ridiculous questions we could eradicate polio in the third world. We could stop children from DYING in this country from diseases that haven’t been seen in our parent’s lifetimes.
So—yes—I will SHUT IT THE FUCK DOWN any time I hear this pseudo-science because vaccines SAVE LIVES. And it’s time we wake up before we live in a world where there are thousands of children dying every year from Polio all over again.
