Forget the Covid vaccine for a moment, I don't get a parent not getting their child vaccinated for other diseases.

Since I am 64, I grew up around people who had polio, it was an awful existence for a lot of them.

The fact that parents can spare their kids from some terrible diseases and chose not to boggles the mind.

We have had Autism since the beginning of time, we just didn't have a name for it.

The Covid vaccine will be a personal choice for each person, people just need to fully understand their choices.

Viruses can’t be stopped with a vaccine

If you are going to get it you are going to get it. The only thing you are doing is putting your children at risk for autism

It's not fair to lump those skeptical of a Covid vaccine with "anti vaxxers".

The COVID Vaccine is a new type of vaccine for what's basically a common cold for those under 60 and in decent health.

I'm all in on traditional vaccines.

However, I'm skeptical of a rushed nucleic acid based vaccine.

Long term side effects?

I think the risk analysis is different for elderly, or frail people.

Why would I waste time getting a vaccine when I drink alcohol everyday medicinally. Alcohol kills germs, so getting a vaccine would just be dumb and redundant

I don’t understand why people get their kids the regular vaccinations but I totally understand not getting a Covid vaccine right now. We’re still learning about covid19 and just threw together a bunch of chemicals to come up with a vaccine as quickly as they could. Vaccines take years to perfect. We don’t know the long term effects of this and will this vaccine actually work.

That these looney tunes parents can watch their children die of easily vaccinated against diseases ( whooping cough for example ) is insanity to me.

As others have said, not all vaccines are created equal.

I'm 100% in favor of the vaccines for Polio, Measles, Tetanus, etc.

I'm skeptical of the random concoction that shows up every year as a "flu vaccine."

Always gotta be careful lumping all together. Also have to be careful believing things without proper self investigation.

I will never get another vaccine in my life. My kids are vaccinated. My wife no longer gets vaccines. We are not; however, part of an antivaxer cult.

Most vaccines contain heavy metals and very odd ingredients list, including but not limited to, aborted human fetal cells. Most people do not respond to the live attenuated or inactivated virus, but the actual medium the vaccine is made in.

BTW, there is no clinical evidence supporting vaccine safety for general use. There is no real-world evidence to support the efficacy of the flu vaccine, yet it is mandated in several industries. As a former pediatric ER RN, I can tell you that post-vax injuries occur frequently and are sometimes life threatening (anaphylactic shock).

I cannot tell you how many boosters for TDap, MMR, and HepB I have received as a nurse and I still do not have titers. If your employer does not require titers for proof of vaccination, there is a good chance you are like me and not actually gaining immunity- you wouldn't know because it's not part of routine testing.

I believe vaccines work and have a purpose. I think it is insane to assume they are safe for everyone, when they have not been tested in different situations.

I have 2 autoimmune disorders and will not be in line to get a vaccine that was rushed through approval process.

Condemnation without investigation is ignorance... Anytime people are clumped into a group and labeled conspiracy theorist/uneducated,
/extremist/etc.. a lot of time it's worth looking into yourself.

If you really want to understand them, try doing the research. Vaccines work but the damage they cause is swept under the rug and hidden.

It’s one of the only medicines doctors are reimbursed to give out.

A couple vaccines are fine. They are giving babies like 76 different vaccines now, compared to something like 10 in the 1980's. Of course there will be side effects like autism or worse.

Research the $6 billion awarded by the courts to victims.

It isn't that people are anti vaccine, they are pro vaccine safety and that is completely nonexistent in this country.

If you need proof go read the accounts from "science day" at the gardisil trial. It will turn your stomach to read how safety studies are manipulated.

Good luck with that. Have you been on the OT lately?

This is the thing that blows my mind about the vaccine debates. Modern psychiatry didn’t really exist until the 20th century. Hell, the first edition of the DSM wasn’t even published until 1952. The stigma around seeking help with developmental disorders still lingers today. The rise in autism diagnoses since the 50’s shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.
