Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally? - page 29
I have an old friend from years ago who I now keep in touch with on Facebook. Her posts are fascinating in the amazing variety of conspiracy theories, some outrageous, some maybe partially true.... Read More

I don't know, nor do you unless you've checked with them, what the Duggars did or did not include in their sex education for their kids.
They have numerous seemingly normal kids and one apparent problem child. Not too bad as far as the numbers go. -

I think anti-vaxxers like you are a danger to my family, myself, and my patients so I will continue to call out anti-vaxxers at every opportunity especially the ones that state they are nurses.Maybe you can breathe easier since I am pretty much retired.
You seem to need some huggies yourself, my friend.
And again, flies, honey, vinegar. I'm not the only one who has remarked on your rudeness.
You claim to be a nurse but you're so belligerent. Your goal is not to educate, rather to be right. Arrogant.
Today science backs up one view, tomorrow it stands behind the opposite one.
Why is it that every Fall a little flu virus knows to come out of hiding? Hmm?
How did the 2 get sick when 95% of their herd were vaccinated?
The science of vaccines is clear and older than anyone alive. The flu vaccine alone has been in widespread use for over 80 years.
You can post on a Internet forum, but you can't look up basic information on the internet?

Herd immunity has been explained over and over on here to you. People have posted easy to understand videos and you still don't understand the concept. I will give you another example: 95 people were given a quarter and told to put it in their pocket and then go exercise, but 45 of those people had holes in their pockets so how many of them do you think would drop the quarter out of the holes in their pocket?..Last edit by wtbcrna on Nov 2, '17 -

When the oldest son (aforementioned sexual predator) got married to his wife (whom he has since been publicly outed as being unfaithful to, using sites like Ashley Madison to cheat on her while he was out of town for his job at a right-wing "family values" think tank), they showed a clip of the insanely creepy CD they play for the couple in the limo on the way to the hotel room on their wedding night, explaining what sex is and how to do it now that they're married. Before that, the only education they provide is that sex is wrong, so they should cover themselves up, have a "buddy" with them at all times during childhood (because alone time for a teenager can only lead to one thing!) and that interactions with the opposite sex have to be supervised. The fact that only one of their children is a "problem child" (nice euphemism!) is not comforting to me, nor should it be to you, and actually still remains to be seen, since lots of their children are still very young.Yes, it is now clearer about the religious beliefs.

Anti-vax movement provides them a convenient and even kind of fashionable outlet to express denial, undoing and all other negative defensive mechanisms, whatever the real cause(s) of their dissatisfaction with reality and life might be. -

I don’t think that they’re all conspiracy theorists. Maybe some have already had a child that became autistic after a vaccination. In time more information about the studies of vaccinations will come out. Then everyone can come back to this forum and read all the comments.

Please please please tell me you are not a college educated registered nurse who believes vaccinations cause autism.
PS I am proud to say I do not know who the Duggars are and am sorry I even glanced at some of the posts about them. I am so sick of this thread. Maybe I should post something really nasty so the administrators will close it!Last edit by brownbook on Nov 2, '17 -

Well that makes everything so much better. -

Rude wins you no points, dude.
I probably live no where near you, I am no danger to you or yours. You should learn the maxim that it is much better to try to educate than to be rude and angry toward others, even if you hate people.
And you still haven't bothered to answer my questions, reasonable though they are. Silly. -

Nov 3, '17Joined: Jul '05; Posts: 5,192; Likes: 6,212Quote from Kooky KorkyWe have answered your questions over and over and over again. Unless you live in a plastic bubble you will come in contact with the flu through other people and even just the surfaces around you. With a 40-60% flu vaccine efficacy rate it is easy to see how people get the flu still after having the flu vaccine, but even though they get the flu after the vaccine the flu extent is usually shorter and less severe.Depends on the size and location of the holes and probably the type and vigor of the exercses.

You don't want to be educated. You want someone to confirm your biases. I'm not that person.
Anyone that chooses not to vaccinate is a danger to everyone and distance hardly matters. When you can go from one end of the US to the other in a few hours distance is nearly meaningless.
