Whoop! There it is!: Whooping Cough reaching "Epidemic Proportions" in California - Polidicks

Also guys, this isn't attributed to antivax people directly however, this is because of the recent whooping cough mutations and the vaccine losing effectiveness. There's been a couple articles on here already earlier this year about that. However anti vax people are part of the problem, as they give a residence for the bacteria to flourish then have more chance of mutating to spread to vaccinated people. Antivax puts others at risk, it really should be mandatory.

[QUOTE=Sableye;45124116]the worse thing about anti-vaxers, is that here in ohio where a slice of the population for religius reasons does not like to get routine healthcare and stays very isolated, outbreaks like this can decimate them.[/QUOTE] probably for the best then

[QUOTE=TestECull;45123671] I can understand passing up a flu shot if you're healthy [/QUOTE] If you're capable of being vaccinated, you should. Being healthy yourself is a terrible reason not to be vaccinated. Influenza still sends thousands of people to the hospital each year. Unless you for whatever reasonable reason can't be vaccinated, you really, really should do it.

It immediately gave me the goddamned flu. Haven't had it or a flushot since. Flu shots are one thing, that bullshit comes back every year. Measles, rubella, smallpox? all that shit is so much of a different ballpark that it's playing a different sport.

Problem is misinformed and dumb people.[/QUOTE] Is vaccine safe when it made my antibodies attack brain cells that produce a protein that regulates night sleep? Thanks obama [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemrix"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemrix[/URL] [QUOTE]In 2013, the New Scientist reported that "part of a surface protein on the pandemic virus looks very similar to part of a brain protein that helps keep people awake". The HA protein in both the virus and the vaccine could, in some people, trigger an immune reaction against hypocretin.[25] [/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Megadave;45127382]Alright, that makes sense. Naturally, I dislike government so I automatically dislike everything they do, which may result in blind spots. I also try and have anything that goes into my body be as natural as possible, even though I know it's a sad reality.[/QUOTE] so then i guess you don't live in a house or have a job because people in the government do

[QUOTE=Kylel999;45133823]Breaking news: Facepunch doesn't understand vaccines whatsoever[/QUOTE] I understand, I've got medical school training! Basically, they inject people with a bound-and-gagged version of the disease, your immune system sees it, yells for its homies to come check it out, then beat the ever loving shit out of it. After they're done, they all look up in wonder and say "Hey, I know how to kick this one particular thing's ass now!". So next time they see that one particular thing again, they basically auto-kill it. And that's how vaccines work. Pretty much.

Thanks obama [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemrix"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemrix[/URL][/QUOTE] They don't inject antibodies you fucking moron, all they do is inject a disabled protein for your body to fight and make it's own antibodies. Also in the quote they haven't had a confirmed case, they said in theory it COULD. Which is highly debatable.

[QUOTE=Megadave;45127182]I'm not saying they don't work, it's just that they can cause side effects. [/QUOTE] Cough syrup and painkillers have way more severe side-effects and yet you don't see an anti-Tylenol scene on par with antivaxxers. [editline]18th June 2014[/editline] You know, call me cruel but I find it incredibly fucking hypocritical and ironic when antivaxxers preach about 'big pharma' and all that shit when they still give their kids Tylenol and shit like that when they're sick. You morons, Big Pharma doesn't need to snatch your dollar with vaccines, they already [B]have[/B] your dollar. Not that I'm saying that MUH TYLENOL IS EVIL or anything, it's just hypocrisy of a pretty high tier.
