re: Thoughts on vaccines?

Bookmarked and let’s revisit

Vaccines represent one of the greatest
medical advances in history. In the 19th and early 20th Century there were deadly or debilitating illnesses that have been eliminated or substantially controlled through vaccinations.
Then came the German scientist who produced a paper on vaccines and autism that was ultimately debunked and rejected as fraudulent.
Then there was the hysteria(mostly online) that arose when the Covid vaccine was produced. The MrNA technology has been around for years and is safe. Sadly there are some provocateurs who have promoted distortions and outright falsehoods about the vaccine. People should trust their physicians rather than listen to the nonsense from gadflies…

I think it's pretty obvious that vaccines provide some benefit, but how much of that benefit exists in a vacuum is hard to say.

By that I mean not much effort is done to study the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle. Like good hygiene, eating well, exercise, sunlight, proper rest.

The medical/scientific community tends to attribute all the benefits of modern life to vaccines/medicine and none of the detrimental side effects of vaccines whilst ignoring the positives of modern life.

To me, it's a matter of following the money. Clearly there's a profit incentive to reassure people that vaccines are necessary; while downplaying the downsides. I would suggest using your good judgement. Everything has a cause and effect. If you take a vaccine, it's not without risks. There's always a risk. It's up to you to decide if the risk outweighs the benefits.

Are our immune systems not allowed serving a purpose any longer?

Went on a mission to try and understand the immune system in 2021 when I couldn't understand why public health officials recommended everyone, even those who had recovered from infection, get a vaccine. This made no sense whatsoever.

It is a complicated system that is hard to follow but here are some concepts that may be helpful to research:

Immune imprinting - You are imprinted by your first exposure to a pathogen. In the case of the single antigen mRNA vaccines how has this reduced the flexibility to adjust to variants? Why were/are Covid vaccines recommended for 6 month old babies? How could it possibly benefit a baby to be imprinted with a single antigen that is likely no longer even circulating? This seems insane.

Non-Specific Effects of vaccines - Vaccines can affect overall health, not just the target pathogen. Here is a Ted talk with reseacher Christine Stabel Benn explaining this.

Innate immune training - How do vaccines affect this training. And more broadly how do vaccines affect the innate system as compared to how natural infection affects the innate immune system? The innate immune system is vitally important for many things including cancer prevention. Do we have a clear understanding on cumulative and long term effects that vaccination may have on the innate system?

It is interesting is that modern medicine seems to view antibody production as FREE. But adaptive arm (antibody production) activation is conserved unless the innate immune system cannot handle alone. It appears this may be because antibody production is biologically resource-intensive. There were examples in Covid with individuals who overcame exposure to the virus without seroconverting (creating antibodies). This seems like an important fact to me. We need to consider that telling your body to make antibodies will have trade-offs in other areas.

It's not easy to get good information on vaccines because it is almost like a religion. In order for them to work there needs to be high uptake so negative information is suppressed to prevent vaccine hesitancy.

The link between vaccines and autism has been debunked ad nauseam.

Using poor science. They were caught spiking these "studies" over and over in many different ways. RFK's book covers this and sticks to the science. Nobody seems to want to correct RFK's book.

“I think the schedule of them is a problem”

That’s what I think also.
The childhood vaccine schedule is insane IMO.The current schedule calls for 28 injections from birth to 1 year of age,starting on day of birth a Hep B is recommended.Why?If the mother is negative for Hep B what’s the reason to give that 1’st day of birth.Is a newborn even capable of making antibodies to an injected antigen? Sen.Rand Paul(who is a physician) made that point about the Hep B vaccine at RFK Jr.’s confirmation hearing.
At 2 months-6 injections/8 antigens.
At 4 months -5 injections/7 antigens.
At 6 months- 8 injections/10 antigens including Covid.
At 12 months-6 injections/8 antigens.

RFK,Jr. who is wrongly labeled anti-vax has made the point there hasn’t been any studies done on the safety of these multiple injections of multiple antigens given at one time.

His book Vax-Unvax is an eye opener,another good book isTurtles All The Way Down.
I had always assumed that vaccines were extensively tested for safety,that are not.

An eye opener for me is the amount of funding the American Academy of Pediatrics recieves from pharma.Their largest donors are Pfizer,Merck,Moderna and Sanofi.These 4 companies make virtually every vaccine on the childhood vaccine schedule.
AAP is also on board with puberty blockers to transition kids confused as to their gender.That gives me pause.

As far as the flu vaccine I was a big proponent for many years,took them religiously every year.I haven’t taken one last 2 years.
Cleveland Clinic released the stats for their employees (52,000) 2024 flu season.
Those that took the vaccine had a higher incidence of flu than those that didn’t take it.I don’t know if that was an anomaly or if that’s the case
most years.I do know some years the shots are more effective than other years.

Cleveland Clinic had previously released the stats for their employees and tha Covid “vax.The more shots they took the higher the incidence of Covid infections.Of course they tried to spin it,saying the numbers didn’t prove the Covid vax caused infections and they cont’d to recommend the Covid “vax”.
I surmise they didn’t want to get crossways with CMS.

why is autism so much higher now?

I have zero actual knowledge on all of that, but if I had to guess, the shite food we've been eating is more than likely the culprit. There are so many chemicals in processed foods that I would not be surprised if they can alter DNA.

Bookmarked so we can revisit :)

I have wondered if the large number of vaccines is connected to autoimmune diseases which are becoming increasingly prevalent.U.S.is world leader of autoimmune diseases.
Some Drs.ascribe to the Hygiene Hypothesis,the reason childhood allergies are increasingly common is the sanitary conditions children are raised in compared to children in olden days with exposure to farm animals,etc.
The immune system doesn’t get to “exercise “ so it goes “haywire” so to speak.
Could the same thing occur with multiple vaccinations and the resulting suppression of the innate immune system?

Excellent post,by the way.
