Anti-Vax - what is the source?

228 replies

pennyspenny · 23/06/2021 08:32

Two of my good friends have become anti- Vax

We don't discuss it (barely seen each other) but they post a lot on social media about pharmaceutical companies being evil etc

They also attend freedom marches together and post photos of them hugging strangers

I also think they're distancing themselves from the rest of the group. Making plans together and declining invitations to meet with feeble excuse. Maybe I'm just paranoid

But I find myself wondering, where are they getting this info from?

We're all 40s with busy jobs and families. Sensible, educated and (relatively) clean living people. What's gotten into them?

Where do these theories start?

@Manteo

I know! It’s because they know, that we know, what they know, and that we know, we can pick it apart, because we know, what they don’t know!

Anti-Vax - what is the source?

Why would Bill Gates pay for 14million 10-14yr old girls to have a HPV vaccine? And publicise it?

HPV is an increasingly endemic, cancer causing sexually transmitted virus, that causes death in affected women. You can’t prevent transmission with condoms or birth control (if you are lucky enough to have access to contraception). How could you prevent HPV endemic spread? In the UK we now vaccinate our young 15 yr olds girls. So we are very lucky because they won’t die of cancer. Phew 🙂

This is exactly what people in public health did not want to happen - complacency because people think the vaccine guarantees that their daughter won’t get cervical cancer. Please do not think this. Ensure your daughter has regular smear tests.

@bumbleymummy

Yes so true.

sunstreaming · 24/06/2021 10:04

Someone earlier talked about the selfish people 'running to get their vccinations in January, so they could go on holiday.' Very misleading and factually wromg! In the UK, the people who had their vaccinations in January were either very old, very vulnerable or looking after such people, There wasn't any invitation for peole to chose to get it then for another reason.

WuhanClanAintNothingToFuckWith · 24/06/2021 10:24

@sunstreaming

The misinformation, jealousy, hatred, confusion and division infiltrating our internet, social media and UK/western corporations/influential people is truly scary. We are lucky to have freedom of speech, but some loons really do need silencing now as a matter of national security. Global security even. We are in a “crisis” stage. As predicted decades ago by the ex-KGB spy who clearly explained the Russian communist government’s (otherwise known as the KGB) long-term plan for communist dissenting western democratic economies. Putin is the KGB. World power. Whose side on you on?

Makes you wonder exactly “who” is fuelling and funding the anti-vac and conspiracy agenda’s doesn’t it. Some very powerful people that’s for sure!

Why would 47,000 people lie? Is it because they are Indian you are assuming they are lying?

If they were white and from Scotland would you believe them?

I've seen some crazy shit about Bill Gates. Obviously most is untrue like being an alien or bloody robot or a mass murderer who created a vaccine to kill people off.

However it is entirely possible he gave those people an untested vaccine to see how it worked. I mean he isn't the first man to experiment on people with no voice is he? The problem is they are not white and people don't give a shit

Bill Gates went from computers in to biotech both which yield incredible sums of money. When you get this rich you do become untouchable.

The HPV vaccine was approved in 2006 and routinely given to schoolchildren in the UK from 2008

Are u actually daring to call me racist? Seriously? Answer that question and i’ll have a conversation with you.

BertieBotts · 24/06/2021 10:31

I'm not a professional in the field actually but thank you :o Just have an interest in human behaviour and also am quite close to some people who have been sucked into it and observed the trust issues etc for a long time so being able to put the pieces together is quite satisfying.

BonnieDundee but do you trust them enough to believe the vaccine is a safe (ish) option? I also probably wouldn't say that I overly trust this government, but I trust the WHO and I believe that the government is at least trying to do the right thing. I don't have concerns on a massive scale about the vaccine. I understand that it's higher risk than say the childhood vaccines which have been around much longer, but I'm not sick with worry over people having it, which some people I know really are.

ollyollyoxenfree · 24/06/2021 10:32

I would argue that not bothering offering a vaccine that can save lives to children in the developing world, whilst rich white children access it for free is the problem here @steakandcheeseplease

ps - these rumours started due to deaths of children who took part in the trial. The fact that these deaths were due to things that could not be related to the vaccine (e.g., accidents, snakebites) and it's reflective of the upsettingly high child mortality rate (as discussed in this thread), doesn't stop the anti-vaxxers from repeating it

what is the fucking point eh

WuhanClanAintNothingToFuckWith · 24/06/2021 10:32

Using accusations of racism to silence people is so transparent and angers me a lot. So are u trying to get me banned from a social media forum? Are u?

ollyollyoxenfree · 24/06/2021 10:33

also, I find it truly amazing that a thread about the source of anti-vax conspiracy theories is just being dumped with more more and unfounded conspiracy theories Grin

you explain one away, they pop back up with 5 more Grin

Backofbeyond50 · 24/06/2021 10:34

Read the whole thread and was looking forward to getting the explanation from@lightandbut they seems to have gradually retreated when people explained what Bill Gates was actually saying.
@Manteo me too given that they claim they had done amazing incriminating clip from BG that would be taken town any minute when it was the exact same transcript I was using to make my point.
Guess things are interpreted different ways by different people but it was amusing bring accused of it watching the video video I shared a transcript of.

WuhanClanAintNothingToFuckWith · 24/06/2021 10:34

@steakandcheeseplease

Racism? Is that you’re default setting? It’s a very common setting from sheeple.

Backofbeyond50 · 24/06/2021 10:34

That was being accused of NOT watching.

quite

the transcript and explanation was posted by multiple posters, that video is literally just a clip from it

@lightand seems to have disappeared though

I know who I trust. And it’s not the people who have easily influenced you. You are the sheep.

You are also a sheep. And busy reporting/silencing me right now aren’t you. See u in a few weeks again then.

I am a sheep? I've had the vaccination Grin

I just don't believe that Bill Gates is the person that a lot of [people think he is.

You trust Bill Gates - a person you don't even know. Aye go on then.. Grin

WuhanClanAintNothingToFuckWith · 24/06/2021 11:28

@steakandcheeseplease

I have no particular interest at all in Bill Gates. Tech nerd but revolutionary, creative thinker. That’s all. Oh and rich too. I’m not but I’m not a jealous person either.

You need to read more about virus’s. And economics.

More importantly you need to stop accusing people who you know nothing about of being racist don’t you? It’s most unattractive and about as incorrect as you could possibly get. Misleading, dividing and fuelling more hatred.

So you haven’t answered, do u think I’m racist?

Personally prefer Morgan Freeman’s views on racism, which you can happily go and learn about ... on YouTube 😂

Well what else explains why you think 47,000 Indian people are lying?

You joined the conversation about Bill gates. You think he is revolutionary, I think he is possibly a psychopath.

I don't care about viruses and economics - I don't care about he did in India though. Shame its so unbelievable though - wonder why that is
