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?

This. It's not that we do not have the technology; there are plenty of adjuvants ready for mass manufacture that provoke way less reactions on people than fucking aluminium; phosphates can be used for the same desired effect, with a loss of the vaccine lifetime of about 5%. Greed is what is driving the industry. A few decades ago there used to have a market for individual vaccines, rather than multiple strands per shot, but they discarded it. Its so much of a point of no return that fucking influenza, a trivial disease, is being marketed as a deadly disease that requires you to take 20+ shots in your lifetime so you quote "don't get the worst ones".
Don't trust me, google (yes even fucking Google) mortality rates of fucking varicella. The children that died are the ones who can't afford western medicine. Why the fuck do urban-area children need varicella shots??

I'm waiting for the push for varicella shots. All it did for me when my mother brought me to a pox party was made me itch really bad.
