  • Jesus is coming back very soon to judge us!

  • Vaccine makes people more sick and kills them! Bill Gates is an evil lier, do not Believe him! Bill Gates is a member of Illuminati and they want to kill 90 % of the Worlds population! The rest they want to control. Believe in the Truth! Jesus is the truth! Believe Gods Word! If you are american, i suggest that you read The King James version. If you are from Sweden, I suggest that you read Svenska Folkbibeln. The Antchrist will soon step up to be our new World leader! Wake up people! Jesus is

  • That's how they took trial vaccines to Africa which turn out to later have many ill results and hidden agendas. We still remember the HIV AIDS experiments done many years ago on "monkeys" in africa and also polio vaccines that contained adverse ingredients and caused worse sickness. I hope they used this exact same vaccine in america?

  • @TheAuthentikate I will be interested to see the information that makes you think this way. This is a video about people having to be persuaded to take part in the trial, not about not having a choice. The fact that everyone you meet will have been vaccinated at some point and the population is healthier than ever and continues to grow surely must make you wonder how harmful vaccinations are.

  • The anti-vaccine movement kills people. The evidence of the public health benefits of vaccination programs is overwhelming. The British ex-MD that started the ball (re)rolling with his FAKED research is still a hero to the conspiracy mongers. You cannot use rational means to persuade those with beliefs grounded in magical thinking, conspiracies, or emotion. If you don't examine your own thinking and challenge yourself to, at the very least, be open to being wrong, you can easily build a bunker

  • @digitaljez Well good for you, but this is not the case for many people. Exactly my point, people should be given the choice and informed of the risks and possible side effects, instead of having this imposed on them. In USA they're not allowed to attend school without vaccinations. I will send you some links as soon as possible.

  • @TheAuthentikate (...cont) That is evidence that the government will act against chemicals in food. Alcohol is legal and so are pictures of naked women so supermarkets can sell them. The problem is trying to keep a free society free. Do you want a government that restricts what you do to that extent? Real pornography is illegal as are certain stimulants. There are reams of legislation covering the food and drug industries. They can't legislate just to satisfy your particular puritanical whims.
