Here is an excellent place to start on the history of this anti-vaccination movement:

Hey all, this is my first YT video ever. (how geeky huh?) As I progress I plan on adding more features such as narration/audio and more custom imagery. (if you know of any straightforward easy tutorials please send em my way). However, I have a feeling I'm going to be pretty darn slow at all of this. Between school, work and my wonderful wife I don't have much time left.




That being said, I hope to create a channel that promotes REAL science. I'll split what little time I have between debunking psuedoscience and creating educational videos in mathematics and physics. (oh boy, I love me some Feynman)

Since this is my very first video I'd like to also mention my favorite science channels:

DON'T VACCINATE!!! It will one day be seen as one of the worst crimes against humanity!

[beastlt12]

@ishmahin People like you are responsible for the current deaths of children around the world. You should be ashamed.

[ambrosialynn88]

@beastlt12 In japan when they changed the vaccination age from 3months to 2years, SIDS almost completely disappeared & when it was switched back SIDS came back at the normal rate, but in america if your baby randomly dies in its sleep its just the SIDS, it can't possibly be linked to vaccinations!!! & IT IS JUST CRAZY TALK IF U THINK IT GAVE UR KID AUTISM... I hope your ears & eyes will be RAPED by information until ur mind is opened... =P

[beastlt12]

@ambrosialynn88 - crazy claims need emotional language to back them up. The Japan story is a sham, and your other comments are far too random elicit an actual response.

[ambrosialynn88]

@beastlt12 Its the parents choice & Parents SHOULD be told the risks! Did you know people who are vaccinated, in some "rare" cases actually catch the disease they were vaccinated for? Just like the "rare" cases of children becoming sick & even dying from their routine vaccinations... Shit happens, that doesn't mean they should force risky shit on to other people because they think is for " THE GREATER GOOD!"

[ambrosialynn88]

@beastlt12 What about the deaths known to be caused by vaccinations? I'm not just talking of children of course, I'm also talking about the elderly who randomly die of old age only weeks after a flu shot & the young people getting shots such as gardasil becoming very sick. Its not only the children & to tell someone to be ashamed? What about the US government dropping bombs on the children of Libya? Or the FAT FUCKS WHO STUFF THEM SELVES AT EATING CONTESTS WHILE PEOPLE ARE STARVING???

[beastlt12]

@bonniebmatheson - Essentially you're pretty close. They present the body with something that resembles the disease, and the body reacts. Later one if the actual disease appears, the body remembers what to do.

Obviously there's different mechanisms, but one thing they don't do is 'infect the subject'.

I've researched, I've been told the opposite by scientists. The idea is not to appeal to authority, but to actually consult and analyze the evidence.

[beastlt12]

@bonniebmatheson - The key word in your post is 'anecdotal'.

Personally, I'd actually be ok with a slow schedule if two criteria were met.

1. If the child goes to public school he/she's up to date at entry

2. Government provide no support to those who don't follow schedule and contract a preventable disease. (e.g. no medicare, no social security, no disability etc)

Those points protect everyone else. After that it becomes a personal liberty.

[bonniebmatheson]

There is a lot of misinformation out there. But it is true that vaccines are cause for worry. Some children develope serious conditions IMMEDIATELY after being vaccinated. There are so many documented cases of this, not to mention thousands and thousands of anecdotal examples.

There is way too much smoke for me to believe there is no fire.

If you want to vaccinate do NOT do it to infants. Arrange for a slow vaccination schedule and spread them out over early years.

[bonniebmatheson]

@beastlt12 I would like to know more about your comment that vaccines train the immune system. I believed that vaccines actually caused immunity by giving the tiniest bit of the disease and thereby caused the recipient to never be infected again. I may be thinking of the original idea behind vaccines, Perhaps they do something else now, besides actually infect the subject.

But I have been researching this subject for MANY years. Have been told by scientists that vaccines are dangerous.
