    Vaccines, for the most part, are a good thing. I might be a Planar Theorist, but I take heavy interest in biology and microbiology. Vaccines, while protecting us from deadly pathogens, also create deadlier ones. When all other pathogens die out due to their inability to infect the vaccinated human, the strongest remain and continue to reproduce. My fear is that we are approaching a supervirus that is nearly resistant to everything. Another thing is that vaccines are a [i]relatively[/i] new practice. There are also many, many different vaccines, and some of those could cause issues that have not shown up yet (perhaps autism). There's a lot more to this than "vaccines are good and that's all there is to it."

      • Almost everyone who is anti-vax is American and a product of your ridiculous health system. I'm Australian, we have universal healthcare all paid for by the government. And vaccines are MANDATORY and free. Now tell me anti-vaxxers or vaccine sceptics, how is it that a government who pays for all health care would purposely inject people with something that would only make the people worse off and in need of further medical treatment that the government would have to pay for? It would be the worst governing policy ever. With logic, reason and a fvcking brain you'll realise the government makes us get vaccinated because IT WORKS with almost zero harmful side effects (regardless of what you've 'researched') and in turn reduces future medical costs associated with diseases (which the government would have to pay for) thus saving the government a -blam!-tonne of money. Also, THERE IS NO LINK WHATSOEVER WITH VACCINES AND AUSTISM!!!! Ffs the doctor who put forward this (Andrew Wakefield) has his medical license stripped for fraud and falsifying the data!!! And finally, vaccines work. Because: got polio?

            • I don't want no autism for my yungins. FDR had polio and he became a 3 term president. Probably because the adversity strengthened his character, and because HE DIDNT HAVE AUTISM. Goddamn vaccines making a buncha goddamn millinerals with no character!!

                I wish the damn doctors would try to figure out why myself, my wife & our kids are allergic to the flu vaccine. But nnnnooooo, they want to blame eggs. I eat eggs, my wife eats eggs & my son eats any sugar item that has eggs. Only our daughter is allergic to eggs, but nope, we must have an egg allergy.

                  • I never get the flu shot. My gf, on the other hand, does (kinda required cause she's a RN at home health) and she gets sick more often than I do.
