Props to the mods for trying this idea out to prevent the back and forth bickering that
has in the past made such threads a mess.
The attack on the rights of Americans has been ongoing for the last 18 years, and topics like this tend to be used as justification to remove freedom of speech, freedom of the press and to push authority of the State vs the Individual.
The Press as we now know, is no longer the voice of truth or of the people, but simply the mouthpiece of the Deep State. So the function of the free press has migrated to the internet, and has given everyone a voice on Youtube and thought forums such as this. (but this is under attack).
The Deep State either causes events to happen or capitalizes on them, to exaggerate the event on the sanctioned news, to generate a public outcry or at least to allow continued removal of citizen rights.
We are being invaded by illegals, who carry many diseases. Then when disease outbreaks occur, it is blamed on US citizens' right to decide upon what vaccinations they receive, instead of on the millions of invaders who have not been health screened.
When gun violence outbreaks occur, they blame it on our right to keep and bear arms and not on the millions of invaders who have no respect for our laws.
Now regarding vaccines,
Personal Experience:
I was vaccinated for all the normal childhood maladies.
Ended up catching most of them anyway. measles, mumps, etc.
When I was young, they did not even encourage getting flu vaccines. That was for the elderly they said. When they started recommending the flu shot I started getting it annually. Including the swine flu when young, and again more recently.
I would get the flu very bad every year I got the shot. End of December I would get the flu typically and be sick as a dog for at least a week, then a month long deep cough.
I finally decided to skip the flu shot one year and didn't get sick! Well, it has been several years now and no more flu!
My theory on number of immunizations:
Most of the arguments I hear, talk about the mercury in the shots and autism. Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) in which a person’s own immune system damages their nerve cells, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis. I doubt mercury is the culprit, but rather the overstimulation of the immune system, by getting so many different vaccines.
I liken the immune system to a pet guard dog.
Practice aggression drills with the dog a little makes him a great guard dog. Push it too far though and that same dog will kill you when provoked in the slightest.
The number of autoimmune disorders has grown to epic proportions since the vaccine programs have progressed from getting a handful of needle jabs in the 60's, to the near 100 injections that has become today's regimen.
Allergies to peanut butter, etc were unheard of when I was a kid. Now they eliminate peanuts from planes because at least one passenger will likely have this allergy. A very high percentage of coworker's kids have had severe allergy problems.
And the explosion in cases of diabetes, an autoimmune disorder where the body destroys the insulin producing cells.
And RA arthritis. And a list of dozens of other diseases that I think may be connected with the mass vaccination programs.
I don't see anyone conducting long term statistical analysis of vaccination programs vs these hard to correlate long term disastrous consequences, if indeed they are correlated, (and I think they are).
The amount of suffering, death, and medical care costs of these autoimmune disorders far outweighs the benefits of most vaccination programs. Would I still want to get smallpox and polio vaccines? for me, the answer is yes.
But do I want to get annual flu shots for the rest of my life? the answer is no. Especially when my personal experience has been as I described above.
