Pro-Disease movement, and decline in Vitamin shots

[Britannic Realms]

As I've said before, I don't particularly care if parents on't give their children vaccinations and other such things, it's their choice. If the child dies, or grows up to hate them, then that's what they get for being stupid.

Why the fuck do you think it's okay for children to die because of their parents' stupidity? Seriously, what the fucking hell?

The bottom line is that I just don't care. If I personally knew the child who was dieing, then I might be emotionally invested so I would care. However, I don't know any of these children, so I don't care; it's just a statistic to me. I also take issue with the idea that refusing a vaccination is child abuse. That's absolutely absurd. It's like saying I was abused because I could have contracted an illness from my dog.

Broccoli has plenty of vitamin K, so I'm sure if you puree some in a bender, it could be ingested just fine.

[Tuthina]

As cold blooded as it sounds, this type of thought process is one that actively removes itself from the gene pool. So ::Shrug::

Because you know, easily immunized diseases only stick to kids who don't vaccinate and refuse to spread.

Which only other kids and adults who do not get vaccinated would be affected, since those who are vaccinated will be... vaccinated against them already?

[Sdaeriji]

Bananas have plenty of vitamin K, so I'm sure if you puree some in a bender, it could be ingested just fine.

Infants' diets consist solely of formula or breastmilk for the first three to four months.

[The Emerald Dragon]

I don't like injections, but not for those reasons.

[Oceasia]

How stupid can these parents be?

.... Isn't that the idea of vaxination?

[Tuthina]

How stupid can these parents be?

Enough to potentially end their bloodline. I guess natural selection does have its merits.

Well that's just fucked right the hell up.

I also take issue with the idea that refusing a vaccination is child abuse. That's absolutely absurd.

It's not absurd at all, it's perfectly reasonable. Refusing to have your child vaccinations is refusing to give them proper medical care.

No, it's not.

Or you could let the doctor give your baby a shot.

There are people who, for very real and legitimate medical reasons, cannot be given vaccinations. If the rest of us are vaccinated, the disease will die out, and those who can't be vaccinated will be safe. If we're not, then the disease will survive, and spread. Herd immunity, yo.

They're endangering the lives of their children because of their stupid beliefs. There's really nothing else to be said.

They're endangering the public health as well. Doesn't that technically make them criminals, if endangering their children didn't already classify them as such?

[Tuthina]

It's like saying I was abused because I could have contracted an illness from my dog.

On the other hand, vaccinating your dog against rabies is a good idea for everyone around you.

I didn't mean rabies, I meant a different kind of virus, like a sickness bug.

Change it all you want, fact remains infants can't digest food for like the first couple months of their lives.

No. Learn2infants.

[Mavorpen]

Broccoli has plenty of vitamin K, so I'm sure if you puree some in a bender, it could be ingested just fine.

And this is yet another reason I do not feel comfortable knowing that you plan on having children.

Hey now you done fucked up. Never bring facts and logic to an irrationality fight.

Ah yes, the sickness bug virus.

I know what I'm calling my next disease in Plague Inc.

I shudder to imagine what would result from feeding pureed broccoli to a baby who can't digest it.

It's like the vegans who fed their cat potatoes.

Well, it is still a good idea since more often than not only dogs are vaccinated against canine diseases, and people who do not intent to interact with dogs might not have such vaccinations. Just because those diseases have a case fatality rate below 100% does not mean it would be pleasant.

From where do you get the idea that vaccines are necessarily good? I'm not an expert, but I've heard that they might cause some mass epidemics and they might reduce our resistance for epidemies + other side effects. To a some extent, I think the concept of vaccines is brought by the cronyist greedy corporations. Therefore the choice of not giving vaccines has to be allowed.

People who refuse to give their children proper medical care, be it vaccinations or these vitamin shots, are obviously unsuitable parents and their children need to be taken away from them ASAP.

Does this include indigenous tribes, primitivists, rastafarians, the Amish and other people who want to stay out of the rest of the world or are against chemicals?

Basic knowledge of biology should suffice, and the whole point of vaccination is to build up your immunity against certain types of pathogen.

EVERYTHING IS CHEMICAL!

[Ifreann]

From the bit where they make us immune to diseases.

Sounds like anti-vax bollocks to me.

How does that follow?

Probably, to varying degrees.

No, it's not.

1. If you think so. I don't really think it's unreasonable.
2. It is not child abuse. It's stupid, but it's not the same as neglect or beating your child. Here's a scenario for you: there are two loving parents who care for their child and ensure that they have a great standard of living however, they do not give their child the MMR vaccine. Would you take the child away from its parents, in spite of the strong bonds between them?
3. It is. You're suggesting that the parents are being neglectful by exposing their children to disease because they are not vaccinated. My example is the same, only the exposure to disease comes from an animal.
