Huffington Post vax article

[ladygrey]

This has been going around on my FB feed - very interesting food for thought and a quote that sums it up perfectly: "Vaccines are different from every other parenting issue in that the choices that parents make affect everyone else as well. Vaccines are everyone's business."

Exactly". One woman, on a vax debate, said she wasn't endangering anyone's kid because she was a SAHM , and they didn't go out much. Yes, I am sure you she is a hermit and doesn't grocery shop or go out to eat ever. Also, does she not think her child is going to grow up, and you know, ask. to, gasp, roam around past the front door?

This was my non-vaxing friend who I broke up with. Ditto on the applause for the article. Spot on. Clap clap clap.

Not trying to be rude here, but I will never understand anti-vax people

Good article.

I read this yesterday when it showed up in my FB feed. Love.

I posted this on my fb yesterday and my crazy, anti-vax cousin spewed a huge comment about pumping babies full of anti-freeze or something. I'm too tired to think of a response and link to articles disproving her. Anyone have any good comebacks or want to school her on fb?

Here's her exact comment:

ALL Vaccines are Loaded with Chemicals and other Poisons

Here is a list of some of the damaging ingredients in the vaccines on the market today:

MSG, antifreeze, phenol (used as a disinfectant), formaldehyde (cancer causing and used to embalm), aluminum (associated with alzheimer’s disease and seizures), glycerin (toxic to the kidney, liver, can cause lung damage, gastrointestinal damage and death), lead, cadmium, sulfates, yeast proteins, antibiotics, acetone (used in nail polish remover), neomycin and streptomycin. And the ingredient making the press is thimerosol (more toxic than mercury, a preservative still used in many vaccines, not easily eliminated, can cause severe neurological damage as well as other life threatening autoimmune disease). These vaccines are grown and strained through animal or human tissue, like monkey and dog kidney tissue, chick embryo, calf serum, human diploid cells (the dissected organs of aborted fetuses), pig blood, horse blood and rabbit brain.

Can you imagine injecting this stuff directly into your child’s blood? At least if you ate these ingredients, your body would have a chance to detoxify and eliminate them before any permanent damage could be done. But, to inject them right into the blood is the most damaging and lethal approach imaginable. How could anyone possibly think injection of such a cocktail of poison could in any way help preserve and enhance your child’s health?

I have no response, but am loling especially at the randomly capitalized words.

And all I can think of is "But they have INGREDIENTS!" lol

There is so much wrong with this, starting with the fact that vaccines are not injected "right into the blood." Nor do they contain antifreeze. This link debunks several of her claims: insidevaccines.com/wordpress/2008/03/13/common-anti-vaccination-myths-and-misconceptions/comment-page-1/

I just posted this to my FB feed...I agree, more pro-vax people need to start saying they are pro-vax and be just as loud as the anti-vaxers

[pinkpinot]

h stole that! Thank you. I hate idiots. She has 2 little kiddos too. I feel bad for them.

[longtimenopost]

Most of my nurse and preemie mom friends shared this! Good article.

Great article. I saw this posted on a mom's facebook page I belong to which has a big group of anti-vaxers. Of course, there were no replies to it.

[hski2349]

I thought the article made a great point. The pro-vaxers don't want to get in a battle with the anti-vaxers because it is not worth the argument. But it is important for us to step and explain why it is important, for the sake of the population that can vaccinate due to illnesses, etc.

I am also somewhat surprised that Mayim Bialik does not vaccinate. I know she is extremely (at least in my eyes)crunchy, but she also has a PHD Neuroscience. I would like to think she would understand the science behind vaccines.

[pinkpinot]

I didn't realize how many anti-vax ppl I know on fb. I just got another comment: never had or will get one vaccine, my homeopathic doctor said they ruin our immune system.

[pugz]

I think upwards of 20 friends shared this on FB yesterday (many of them were you guys, lol MY FAVORITE MOMS GROUPS EVER!!!) I do try to speak up as pro-vax when the topic comes up in my crunchy groups, but I don't argue with them because there is no reasoning with anti-science crazies.

i know there are other pro-vax moms in those groups because they "like" my comments, wish they'd speak up too
