RE: Vaxxed and Injured My family's Story

in #vaccines7 years ago

I would also mention here what other poster said in another post about the subject :

Hard data and facts agree vaccination can be harmful in extremely rare cases. Anti-vaxxers would likely argue against the exact definition of "extremely rare". Only the uninformed defend vaccines as universally good. The scientific consensus is that the benefits for the population as a whole far outweigh the negatives for individual cases.

Vaccinating everyone protects people with weak immune systems, and vaccination has managed to eradicate certain diseases in the first world. Some of these diseases are making a comeback due to increasing immigration from unvaccinated populations as well as homegrown anti-vaxxers movement.

On the flipside, most vaccines come with a ~20% chance to cause local pain (and we are increasingly learning pain in the formative years can have long-term consequences), and a ~5% chance to cause a fever. Sometimes the consequences can be more dreadful: the MMR vaccine is estimated to have a one in a million chance of causing body encephalitis, which has a very high death rate.

It's a cold calculation. Vaccination kills less people than no vaccination, but it does kill people who might live otherwise. This makes sense both at the population scale and even as a parent, but statistics mean nothing on the individual level when your kid is the unlucky one.

Sort:  

If you and your children are vaccinated, me and my children are no threat to you. For my experience, I was one of the .05% unlucky people who had an autoimmune response. My children share my DNA. Why the hell would I risk it by giving them a ton of vaccines?

No, I would recommend they not vaccinate too. For most of the tons of shots given, there is no good reason to get the vaccine.

Please stop commenting on this thread. This is her own story and you shouldn't argue with someone's own story.

Maybe i shouldnt , but im not doing that , im disagreeing with the emotional appeal that its being made by her story

Also , This is being shared publicily and earning rewards by appealing to the sensibilty of readers , so people shouldnt be restricted to making comments of approval or support , but to analize all the content being presented , Just like you are free to present a certain view on a topic , we are free to disagree , im not discussing whether anything she said is true , but im discussing the implications being made

I did just realize that I was confusing you with i-repost, who basically did call her a liar.
So this flag comment was meant more for him. Sorry.
Still, this post is her own personal story and the sequence of events that happened, and even her doctors confirmed it.
I get very defensive of people who have the courage to speak out with their own stories, even though they know that they may be mocked and called liars or crazy.
I can take flack on my own articles, but then I don't have a vaccine injured child.

This woman already sacrificed her child for the supposed greater good, and all she gets is flack when she tells her own story.

If you continue commenting on this post you will be flagged.
She said in the post that her story is not up for debate,
so respect that please.

You have been asked to stop. Respect that.
I don't flag people who debate with me when I put out an article,
but you have gone above and beyond what is socially acceptable.
You are calling her own story a lie. This is HER story.
She doesn't need a medical journal to tell her what she saw and experienced with her own eyes.
Stop it!

Well , censoring people certainly doesent help whatever is the case being made.
For that matter , the flag button is for a specific function , being reporting content of poor quality or spam or anything other form abuse
Anyway i trust the community to make a good call on i-repost comments, we value freedom of speech here and civil discussion

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it

The flag is for free use on Steemit. Anyone can use it in any way they please. If you don't believe me, take it up with @berniesanders, or one of his alternates. He'll explain it to you in a way you won't forget.

If it is true and part of a demonstrable pattern then arguing against it only demonstrates malignant intent.
