Thoughts on the 1 year vaccinations please ?

I typed India plane crash into Tiktok the other day and was genuinely shocked at the fake posts / AI. Why not search for posts about the diseases that can be caused by not taking vaccinations.

Good work. Always useful info for the next person who has a concern.

Well done

Just seen your update, never mind

Perhaps balance your TikTok with online content of the severe damage that those diseases cause, including death. The outbreak in Texas might show how deadly measles is for instance. Please speak to your GP.

This is an excellent post. The pipeline from being quite health conscious and additive adverse, to full blown anti vax is fascinating.

But you don’t know if they’ve done research or not! I could type up a paragraph using Chat GPT and make myself sound like the smartest person going.

A significant driver behind the dissemination of vaccine misinformation is financial gain. A prominent segment of the anti-vaccine movement is closely linked to the alternative health and "wellness" industry. Key figures and organisations often promote and sell products such as dietary supplements, essential oils, and homeopathic remedies, as "natural" and "safer" alternatives to vaccines. By casting doubt on the safety and efficacy of vaccines, they create a market for their own unregulated and scientifically unproven products. This business model thrives on creating a narrative of "us versus them," pitting a supposedly corrupt medical establishment and "Big Pharma" against a small group of "truth-tellers" who hold the secret to true health. The financial success of these individuals and companies is directly tied to the public's distrust of conventional medicine.

Credible highly intelligent people go into scientific and medical professions and spend many years training. Scientists do actual research into vaccines, doctors and nurses see actual reactions to vaccines. They all choose to vaccinate their own children. If you aren't smart enough to read research for yourself, at least trust those who are able to.

When kids die of measles and are made infertile from mumps, it affects the parents rather than the charlatans who sold them an alternative idea. Do you really think it's a coincidence that measles death rates dropped so dramatically with the introduction of vaccines? Maybe your child will be OK, it was only about 120 kids who died each year from measles before vaccines (smaller population though obviously), others went deaf for brain damage etc. Now tell me, how will you look at yourself if you child is one that is not ok?

I know, but it's worth resurrecting to educate the idiots and conspiracy theorists.

I have a friend that won't drink tap water, thinks it's poison. Won't have coffee in shops etc due to using tap water, carries a flask of filtered water around everywhere and only drinks that. Came to my house and brought the big water filter.
Won't use fluoride toothpaste (orders special toothpaste). Adamant i'm going to have health consequence's from the covid vaccine as apparently it's killing people and it's all coming out now. Chem trails in the sky, not lines from aeroplanes, birds are robots made by the government to spy and not real. The list goes on. Don't be one of those people.
Look up the guy in the iron lung who contracted polio.
we're lucky to have vaccines offered.

Jesus, I despair that people are getting their information through social media. Very worrying trend!

ZOMBIE THREAD

There is literally no need for discussion on this. Have her vaccinated.

I've had shingles and it hurts.

My landlord had shingles and he was in a lot of pain.

Anything that reduces this is good.

I'm old enough to remember kids in callipers.

So am I.

This came though on my feed this morning.

OP, please get your child vaccinated as advised by your GP practice. The benefits of vaccination far outweigh any risks from it, but don't listen to me or tick tock, or random comments. Read the information from the NHS (eg https://www.healthiertogether.nhs.uk/new-parent-and-baby/childhood-vaccinations) and talk to a professional (eg your practice nurse or health visitor if you are worried).

I completely know what it is like to read something in the media or see it on social media then freak out, our children are so precious, but that is why we must make decisions about vaccines based on evidence and medical advice, not a random comment on tick tock. Sadly children do get very ill sometimes and if this happens just after a vaccine people sometimes incorrectly attribute it to the vaccine.

You can monetise responses on tik tok and other sites, therefore, take something normal, and turn it into a money making scheme - prey on peoples insecurities and worries, hmm, what better than young children and vaccines.
Call me a cynic, but I get my medical advice from a professional, I'll get my investment advise from a professional, and I'll use social media as a light hearted way to waste away the hours.

Oh btw, I know a very very important Nigerian Prince who needs to transfer money into sterling.... dm me for further details......

My mum nearly died of measles. She was very very poorly. They had to call the Dr out (pre NHS when you had to pay and they were very poor)

I had mumps. I was very very poorly. Went very very stiff/rigid. Had the Dr out everyday for a bit. You really do not want your child to.get mumps, especially if they are male.

Measles can kill. Or give you lifelong disability.

Whooping cough is horrible for kids.

Polio is awful. Have you heard of iron lungs? A device that breathes for you because polio has paralysed your breathing muscles. I'm old enough to remember kids in callipers.

People play on your sense of fear that actively vaccinating can cause your kid harm, but doing nothing can cause your kid harm too, by exposing them to awful diseases that can kill.

I'm autistic. Didn't get MMR. My kids were autistic before they had MMR. (Clear signs) My dad was probably autistic. He didn't get any vaccines.

Just putting this here:

I mean, clinical trials. Literally.

In practice, we also see it when vaccine rates fall below a certain level and outbreaks of diseases like whooping cough become more common.

We see it in the lack of polio, tetanus, diphtheria and smallpox in our world.

My godmother had polio, and was disabled for life. She was an amazing talented musician before her illness. She lost her career, her plans for a family, and her ability to walk unaided for her entire adult life because of a disease we can now prevent.

We know vaccines work.

How many cases of smallpox are there in the world?

Why do kids no longer get polio or diphtheria?

No medication is completely without any side effects. You need to educate yourself about risk vs benefit.

I assume you never take even a paracetamol because they can also have side effects

Tell that to the thousands of vaccine damaged people. How can anyone prove a vaccine works? You can't.

Every medication can cause a negative side effect. These are recorded, tracked and disclosed because evidence-based medicine operates within a scientific paradigm and is regulated by governments. The risks of medications are weighed against the risks of developing the conditions they are for, and this is re-evaluated as needed.

Some of the worst conversations are with parents of unvaccinated children asking if their child would have needed a life support machine (including ECMO) if they had been vaccinated. Those parents have a heart-breaking realisation that they prioritised their right to be stupid over their child’s safety. Many parents who don’t vaccinate are lucky enough to get away with it. They’re not good parents, just lucky ones.

Yes, my daughter had really bad seizure after the vaccine
