re: MAHA: Child vaccine schedule reduces from 72 jabs to 11

from measles? lol

It's helped my kids develop some empathy for those with health problems - not a bad thing.

While my kids are mostly vaccinated- I don't think I'd ever weigh "empathy" when making a medical decision.

You can't work as a health care worker or serve in the military without them (and for good reason).

Yes, tailored care is the way to go. Tailored, informed, care.

I did get what you were saying about your own munchkins- just needling you a bit.

quote:

---

Or... parents can tailor their child's needs in a way that doesn't depend on "the herd".

---

Why even have any epidemiological intervention at all? The protection of the 'herd' is a fact of human immunology, one which makes humans extremely resilient to a wide variety of pathogens spread across very unique environments.

quote:

---

We aren't talking about a peanut butter free classroom, but of preventative interventions that do come with a risk profile.

---

In what case does the risk profile of the vaccine or the intervention outweigh the risk profile of the original disease? You can google or ask AI all you want, but this situation doesn't exist.

quote:

---

Should take 30 minutes to realize the vaccine is much much worse than a disease that everyone used to get and survive with life long immunity UNLESS they had severe autoimmune issues or malnourishment

---

The sequalae of regular measles and mumps infections are serious enough and present with lifelong consequences that I suspect you don't understand what those sequalae actually are.

Newborn dose of hep, born of mothers that aren't carrying it.

You are saying Hep B vaccination is worse than the possibility of getting hepatocellular carcinoma later in life? Is that the calculation you really want to make?

quote:

---

HPV vaccine to 9yr old boys.

---

Yes, they should all just get throat cancer when they are adults like Michael Douglass. Very cool stuff here.

Great. Then why would anyone need to be forced to do anything? Let the government schools require whatever they like and let me have my taxes for public K-12 back and we have a deal.

quote:

---

Most newborns are roomed with their mother.

Also, hopefully the healthcare workers aren't sexing with the babies or sharing drugs.

ETA: diseased healthcare workers have no business working with neonates, or anyone.

---

Again, think logically. Why are healthcare workers required to have hepatitis b vaccinations? You undermine your own points and then invent narratives to justify your idiocy. Stay consistent. And again, what are the risks of Hep B vaccination? Describe them for me.

quote:

---

It doesn’t protect against all ano-genital and throat cancers. They doubled their market by dropping the age and doubled it again by including boys.

---

First, this isn't an answer to my question. Stay on point. And secondly, this covers the strains that cause both warts and cancers. Do you understand how ubiquitous HPV is?

The reality is this. You don't have any data on whether these vaccines are worse than the long-term sequalae of infectious diseases. You just can repeat it without evidence. If you profess interest in scientific understanding, then reason like a scientist. On one side, we have a low-cost intervention where the risk profiles in a population are so minimal that non of these anti-vaccine proponents can even point to a specific pathology associated with vaccines. And on the other hand, we have very strong evidence of cancers being caused by strains of a ubiquitous pathogen.

---

Many countries don't use gardasil and there are lawsuits against gardasil ongoing right now.

You retort like this and then wonder why I treat you like you are an absolute moron.

Again, show me the risks of Hep B vaccination in terms of sequalae and HPV in terms of sequalae. What are the linked pathologies? What is the presentation of those pathologies?

I suppose I am wondering why the logic of avoiding sequalae of infectious diseases which might have mild presentations but lifelong consequences works for some vaccines and not for others. What is the cutoff?

If I can guess your answer, you will ignore the direct questions again, and instead come up with some reply you think pithy. They really aren't sending their best. Sad!

I’m aware of it and still have a child that age. They aren’t getting anywhere close to 72 shots unless you’re trying to make each dose of things like MMR count as multiple “shots”
