So, I’m not sure what percentage of this board is on the anti-vax train, but let’s get a general outline going here.
tetanus
polio
rabies
smallpox
and many other diseases
Have either been virtually eliminated by vaccines or at least vaccines have been proven beyond any doubt to work. Pic related. Josh Hightower had received an organ from somebody who had been bitten by a bat in Arkansas and died in Texas. He received a kidney for glomerulosclerosis that he had suffered since birth. He came down with rabies 27 days later and died. Why? Because the donor didn’t get a vaccine.
Anyone who believes in this anti-vax shit is stupid. And I’m not talking stupid in a “2+2=5” way but in an actual Darwin Award kind of way. Just about every disease that has a vaccine for it the vaccine has been PROVEN to prevent disease. I just don’t see how anybody could unironically believe that refusing to vaccinate their children for tetanus after they got cut by a rusty saw blade won’t result in the child getting lockjaw. How retarded are anti-vaxxers?

Right. One common argument I hear from anti-vaxxers is that the FDA approves it so it must be bad. Basically circular reasoning bullshit. What’s so ironic about this argument is that many anti-vaxxers believe in homeopathy (there is no scientific evidence that this stuff works, btw), and yet homeopathic medicine is actually FDA-approved. And besides, the FDA approving of something doesn’t mean shit. Even if they’re profit-driven, that’s what you get under capitalism.

The FDA is run by people who leave the employ of a pharmaceutical company with an agenda, approve whatever they were told to approve and then leave the FDA to return to an elevated position at the pharmaceutical company. They are a corrupt, nepotistic group that subverted a system that was meant to be protecting the citizens of the United States. Sound familiar?

Those aren't the same thing nigger.
The former is saying it's good because the FDA approves it.
The latter is NOT saying it's good because the FDA approves it.

Honestly I see government support to be completely meaningless on the subject for a very simple reason:
If I were in the shoes of the government and I knew, without a doubt, that vaccines did cause whatever life-changing negative condition in 3% of cases: I would cover up the evidence and endorse them.
Ignore our cynicism about that for a moment, the job of the government, supposedly, is to care about what is good for the whole. So with that as a value-set, vaccines would have to be incredibly dangerous before recommending against them because the danger is only to the individual while the benefit is to the whole.
To put it simply and comically: Even if I knew a vaccine carries with it a 5% chance of immediate painful death, I would support my neighbor's family getting it. It'll make me 1% less likely to pick up whatever disease because they'd be immune and I'm not the one rolling the dice of death.
So with all that in mind, its safe to say that government endorsement means basically nothing. I wouldn't call it a negative since I don't really see any reason to do so.

It's easier in countries with medicare like Canada. The flu shot propaganda talks up "herd" (see goyim) immunity for example. It's very easy to get those under the grips of the media jew to comply.
t. remembers an entire train on the Toronto subway of government flu-shot propaganda: every ad in the train plus "take the shot, goy!" wraps on the livery
