Paranormal Adept
Hey, I've got high risk family members as well. I know how high the stakes are in this. I know a family member's heart condition was brought on by a covid infection. I do feel that conspiracies like the anti-vaxxer movement are distractions promoted by influential people to mask what's really going on. They play on peoples' fears over "personal freedom," while they strip away our ability to govern ourselves and sell us out to the higher bidder. The thing that boggles my mind is that a certain members of a political party here peddled these conspiracy theories when their base were some of the most vulnerable in this country, while I can guarantee most of those same people got their jabs on the sly.Thank you so much for being a voice of sanity in this discussion. I go bonkers over conspiracy theories that endanger the lives, freedoms and vitality of human beings. I find promoting this kind of ignorance to be despicable.
I forgot how exhausting it is to argue with believers of any religion, especially the anti-vaxxer cult. But I thought it was important at various points for readers of this forum to recognize that there is real science to counter all these bogus claims. You don't have to research too far to get to the truth of vaccines, medical history.and to see through the anti-vaxxer conspiracies.
That of course is one of the many signposts of a conspiracy, when those promoting it are among the few who apparently are in the know and have the real data and facts after digging down deep to uncover how big pharma has apparently been hoodwinking people and every single medical institution and doctor since 1796 when the first smallpox vaccine was created. That's right, there's 230 years of vaccines on planet earth and I am so thankful for medical science for keeping my children free from disease that could have killed them and specially my daughter's type 1 diabetes. Praise science!![]()
I mean I do have some issues on how things were done. There were members of the CDC who voted to add the chicken pox vaccine to the childhood schedule (if I recall correctly) that had a financial stake in the company or companies that were producing it, when they absolutely should have recused themselves. I also think we need to have a discussion about vaccine injury (something the CDC was never willing to have). I often think that CDC sometimes forgets that science can be very cold in the sense that the levels of vaccine injury are acceptable to them when compared to the rates of child and infant mortality that occurred prior to widespread vaccinations. And lord knows, that's cold comfort to a parent who has had a child injured from a vaccine. We know that genetics play a role in vaccine injury now, and I think a push to make vaccines even safer helps us all.
