V for Vaccinations

Is it worth getting your children vaccinated if it risked them becoming autistic? In this video I give a short demonstration of why I personally believe that even if there was a risk of my child becoming autistic (AND THERE IS NOT!) I would still get them vaccinated.

I'm for the vaccination, but I get suspicious when they talking about pandemic and the only cure is the last years overproduction of vaccine against that years pandemic. It's about money, too much vaccine that need to be sold. Not to mention the horrible side effects of it, like the liver getting rejected by the body :x

@gr0gg0 Sorry old sport but pharmaceutical companies don't make a great deal on something they only have to give to a person once. I have never heard of a liver being rejected after someone has being vaccinated and there is also no evidence that any one who has undergone a liver transplant will have it rejected as a direct result from being vaccinated either. NONE!

this is a quality video and I agree with what you're saying, but just because 20% of the people that get a disease die from that disease doesn't mean that 20% of the population is going to get that disease.

[powerm1985]

@sfm073 You are 100% correct and in hindsight I should have looked at the percentage population of UK citizens who would be affected by preventable diseases before vaccinations were introduced. However the ending would have remained the same "if you don't get your child vaccinated you run the risk of them catching one............apart from smallpox" I promise in my next vid I will try harder :)

Hey mate, love your videos. Whats the song at the end of this one?

@3l1t3xyz he said "and they'll say also that, 'hey my child Timmy...'"

Your child who is fifteen? Is he not your biological child?

HalleHamar, yes... sanitation and nutrition did have an effect on disease rates, however they affect a wide range of diseases while vaccines are very specific. When we have changes in sanitation/nutrition and vaccination in a similar time frame, the different drop rates between the disease covered by the vaccine and other diseases lets us see how effective the vaccines are. So yes, we are very sure that vaccines are very effective. Not 100.0%, but as close as you can get in science.

... I am the 1%?

The idea that your kid would be better off dead than autistic (pushed by these anti-vaccer parents) scares the living crap out of me.

That said it's good to see how alienated we are from the disease and death vaccines took us from.

[unassumption]

If only there was an injection i could give someone to make them autistic :(

would be like the borg nano probes or something, one of us gooble gobble motherfucker ;P

@HalleHamar there are three elements that the development of a disease deppends on: the host, the pathogen and the environment.

my point is that when you get vaccinated you improve your immune system(host), but of course that setting health regulations and improving the living situation (enviroment) could prevent you from getting a disease on the first place (and a lot more).

keep calm and dont forget to get vaccinated! cheers

[HalleHamar]

You seem like an intelligent and sympathic, young man :) I love your dedication, but how can you be so 100% sure about vaccines always being the answer? I've seen statistics from both Great Britain and Norway, showing that the most important cause for diseases was poor living standards. There was clearly a radical change for the better once this improved, long before vaccines was introduced and taking honor for it all. I believe it's not all black and white - what about you?

[theBarefoot]

I would have put one white soldier on Team Going to Get Fucked since the autism rate is the same in both vaccinated and unvaccinated populations. Good video.
