Vaccines

I share your opinion on this completely. I remember when our son (who is 35) got the chicken pox, today vaccinations prevent that. I remember when I, (older than 35) got the measles, the mumps as well as the chicken pox. I was thankful that we had our son had the MMR (mumps, measles, rubella) vaccinations during his early years, as that meant that he did not come down with those illnesses. We were very thankful that he had those vaccinations so that he wouldn't suffer from those illnesses. I had mumps as a young adult when I was 20 years old, I was very sick with it. I believe that the young parents today feel that they have 'choices' and that there are side effects to any chemicals, including medical vaccinations, into their bodies. People complain about having a cold and shrug it off by saying there is no cure for the common cold, but if there were a vaccine, I can bet that the majority wouldn't take it.

All children should get vaccines to protect themselves and their families.

Vaccines have been saving lives for over a century. I don´t understand some people. Some years ago my daughter´s ex husband got married again in the middle of the pandemia. He invited (everything paid ) to his wedding. Daniel was against vaccines. So my ex SIL told him that unless he had the vaccines, he wasn´t coming to the party. He had to put up his arm!

I have nothing against vaccinations, I remember my mom taking me for vaccinations when I went to school. However, now I have not taken any vaccinations in years. Just don't want to and I have not had the flu in ages.

I used to think that human society would continually advance and improve, and I struggled to understand how the great civilisations of the past just disappeared. Now I know. We get to a certain stage and then some idiots come along and reverse everything!

Many diseases that were once considered conquered are coming back into the US. People are listening to misinformation about vaccines; and it will cause another onset of these diseases. Have a good weekend.

Well, I don't get the flu vaccine because I don't get the flu. I did get the covid vaccines 1 & 2, and wish I hadn't, because my health has gone rapidly downhill since. Could be coincidence, but with all these others reporting ill reactions, I don't know.

Mostly I think it's down to misinformation and the short span of human memory. Perhaps if there is a spate of deaths people will realise that these diseases are actually dangerous after all, and vaccination is the greatest advance in human health since hand-washing.
