    My niece was born home birth, her mother never allowed her to have vaccinations to this day, she had an impeccable school attendance and now is in collage and still never got vaccinated. I got the flu jab three years ago and was crook the whole winter with colds. Vaccination is a big pharma scam.

    Cool story.

    A friend of mine wasn't vaccinated against polio. Now she's in a wheelchair. Cos of polio.

    Rejecting vaccines is a wheelchair-lobby scam.

    People should open their eyes and see that it's not the pharma industry that's making a fortune from gullible people (clinical trials are verrry expensive) but the companies selling homeopathic remedies - no trials, no regulation and they are just selling you water. That's where the profit is.

    I lost a child hood friend because he wasn't vaccinated, not sure what it was that actually killed him, may have been chicken pox. It was back in the 80s. The thing is, to this day I still remember him complaining to the teacher in school that he was unwell and had a headache. He went home from school. The next time I saw him, he was being wheeled around in what was essentially a bed wheelchair. He was like that for around 5 years until he succumbed to whatever damage was done to his brain.

    Yea. Vaccines don't work!

    http://www.bbc.com/news/health-41724996
    A new vaccine that could prevent up to nine-in-10 cases of typhoid fever has been recommended by the World Health Organization.

    Experts say it could have a "huge impact" on the 22 million cases, and 220,000 deaths, from typhoid each year.

    Yes providing clean water and sewage treatment might have a similar impact but given the way wealth and power have been hoarded throughout recorded history that isn't going to happen any time soon.

    The bad news brigade can harp on about it being only 87% effective.

    But that's enough that if everyone in affected countries took it the death rate could be slashed.

    No, those lentil-weaving nut-jobs will be the first to elbow in demanding a vaccine when it comes anywhere near their snowflakes. After spreading it to immunio-compromised children and killing them first of course.

    Or they'll do a Daily Mail Sad Face article about how they were misled by Facebook click-bait claiming kale and homeopathy was protection enough and now want to sue the HSE because their child was left with a disability and "whaaaah, nobody told us how dangerous measles would be to Fuinnéog, but thankfully by using crystal therapy he's going to be ok. Jack down the road died though. He was disabled already though because his mother used deodorant while pregnant"

    Never their fault.

    I heard this on the radio last night. I really wish they'd taken the opportunity to point out that measles can cause blindness and brain damage. Might have made some people cop themselves on.

    On a tangential note to this... my wife spotted an urgent request for information re. "out of hours homeopath" on Facebook over the bank holiday weekend. :o

    That's a little scary really. If they need someone urgently out of hours I wonder what it was for. You would hope no-one would die by relying on homeopaths when they should be going to A+E.

    Surely in homeopathic terms, the best homeopath is the one you can't get hold of to give you anything?

    Good review of recent recent research linking autism to aluminium adjuvants in vaccines.

    In September, antivaccine “researchers” Christopher Shaw and Lucija Tomljenovic published a study claiming to link aluminum adjuvants in vaccines to neuroinflammation and autism. Naturally, the antivaccine movement pointed to it as slam dunk evidence that vaccines cause autism. It’s not. In fact, not only is it bad science, but it might well be fraudulent.

    The anti-vaxxers give me a pain in the tits. And they all fit the same bloody profile too...

    "Mary (34, vaccinated), who tells it like it is (tm), knows what's best for HER kids regardless of what any Doctor says. A degree holder from the "School of Hard Knocks" with a Masters Degree from the "University of Life", Mary loves putting pictures with passive aggressive sayings that are mis-attributed to famous people on her Facebook profile, mostly to have a go at her partner. Many of her friends secretly think she's a complete spa."

    Did I get it right?

    If I could spread that on my garden, I might finally have a chance of winning the Royal Variety.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    "Voice-over-IP" is just a red herring to throw them off

    Nah

    Candidate maybe. President no.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    If what was she stated in that article is true, ie, she had 24 hours to say yay or nay to consent, do you consider that long enough time to weigh the pros and cons of what is an important medical issue?

    She was asked to clarify her postion on the HPV vaccine on twitter, by David Robert Grimes and rather than do so, blocked him.

    While she might have only been given the consent form the day before it was a high profile vaccination campaign that everybody in the country knew about.

    Read the first few pages and see that most people think anti vaxers are wrong.
    Just wondering when you say anti vaxers did research and decided against vaccinating, have most of you pro vaxers done research also, as in read studies about various vaccinations before vaccination or have you just gone along with your doctors plan?

    Listening to anti vaxx groups on Facebook or their own sites is not "doing research".
