Yet he, Andrew Wakefield, is still out in the world spouting his rubbish. I totally agree with you Cassie.

He lost his medical license, but the damage was done. He's created an issue that could cause lasting impacts for generations. Measles was all but eliminated by 2000 and now there's a rather terrifying resurgence. https://www.cdc.gov/measles/cases-outbreaks.html

this is - yet again a very difficult issue - i was close to death from measles - my entire family came to say goodbye to me - at 4 years old - i recovered - Just vaccinate

Don't forget to add Jenny McCarthy to this list of ignorant yahoos who perpetuated the idea that vaccines cause autism. All based on "Dr." Wakefield's study of 12 autistic children. I think we should have her throw a dollar or two into the pot to cover some medical costs as well.

Andrew Wakefield was sent to jail for falsifying that study and lost his license to practice medicine!

All these mothers/parents - if they are currently of childbearing age will have been dam well vaccinated as kids - as their own parents were grateful for the lifesaving properties of the vaccines able to protect from the diseases that would killed their own generation many years ago - Yet they dont seee it - they are too special

Yes and it was done on only 12 children. 12 CHILDREN!!!! Yes because that makes a lot of sense. The results of a study done on only 12 children (by someone who has now lost his medical license) determines the fact that if you vaccinate your children all of them are going to get autism. -_- Yep. Perfect sense.

You don't give honey to babies!

Do they do that? Honey can cause infant botulism!

More and more school districts are denying religious exemptions AND refusing kids who aren't vaccinated. Doctors are doing the same thing. Many have patients that are elderly or tiny babies and they won't permit anyone in their waiting rooms that aren't vaccinated. Good on them.

And what's more, there's no religion that actually says that you shouldn't get vaccinated!

TBF American "Christianity" is a joke. I bet 90% of fundamentalist American Christians have no problem tossing aside Christ's one commandment to "love one another unconditionally" in favor of claiming religious exemptions as a way to deny service to minorities and to deny female employees basic contraceptive care. I'll support the religious exemption when people claiming it actually start following their religion.

These are the same people that spend twenty minutes and 50 bucks getting their pet registered as a "Service Animal" when, in fact, the pet has never been trained to be a service animal. I wish lying was painful to the people spewing it.

I agree, Bobbi. As a matter of fact, the whole Christian Scientist gig is an oxymoron. There is no science to this.

Valid question. Some states have allowed religious exemption as a reason to not vaccinate. The only religion I could find is Christian Scientist. If anyone knows of any others, I'm curious too!

Christian Scientists are neither Christian, nor Scientists.

Some muslim ppl in my country are anti vaxxers because they believe the vaccines are made with stuffs containing pork or something like that

Religion is poison. Especially yours.

I've seen the original post. It's real

The page it was on is 90% this kind of comments. Believe me, some are reeaally down in the rabbit hole!

That's actually really smart. I had cancer when I was 7, and if I had caught chicken pox at that time from school I would have died. People can stick to their beliefs ONLY when it doesn't put people in danger.

Phillip, Are you living near Las Vegas where there is a fake Paris? If you are french, then you will know that you are a liar, but why? why would you do that? NO 14 vaccines, this is not "mandatory", maybe "recommanded" , don't lie to americans please. Especially if you don't know it, or more if you know it.

I hope her baby recovers and they take it away from her along with her other kid for negligence and endangering both their lives with her stupidity.

Downvotes to say the truth about my country and yours? I send kitten pics under the Eiffel Tower to all lovers (but we arent vaccinated)

@Danielle Holder this is from the CDC and it says that the Tdap shot should be given every 10 years

It's not stupidy or pride. It's a risk/reward ratio. Vaccines are not pleasant and have side effects. Not having them is 95% OK but worse effects otherwise. Same with letting your child cycle to school, play a contact sport, etc. You do the best you can with the information available then live with the consequences. Phillip.

There is a *slight* difference between f*****g up your child and deliberately exposing it to the risk of contagious diseases that then expose other people to it as well. PLEASE THINK

Yet here you are judging. And assuming. Not all people feed c**p to their children.
