RE: Diabetes in Infants - Caused by Vaccination (VaxXed: Stories from the Road)

in #vaccines7 years ago

No, the statistical odds of a new born needing a blood transfusion and getting tainted blood is so low it does not merit vaccinating all new borns across the board.
Formaldehyde, and aluminum injected into a new born at birth is an unnecessary risk to a low statistical risk. It doesn't balance out.

Sort:  

Actually, hep B can be transmitted through breastfeeding and through saliva. If one infant gets hepatitis B it can spread from one child to another through sharing of toys.

That would mean the mother would have hep b and a known risk and could vaccinate that baby. Again, not a statistically valid reason for a broad brush.

Well only in case of breastfeeding (though, how would everybody know if they have hep b?) but it won't help against getting it from saliva, transmitted from one child to another, if one child happens to have hep b.

Some viruses are easily transmittable and can cause long term damage to small children. It's a serious threat, which can ruin lives of far too many children.

Pregnant women are tested for hep b so it is known if the mother has it. New borns don't play together to infect each other. Again, the baby of a mother with hep b can be vaccinated, no need for the broad brush.

Ah, of course there are differences between countries, as procedures are different. My original comment wasn't about vaccinating newborns, mostly about transmission of the hep b virus.

The Hepatitis B vaccine is extremely low risk and even the symptoms or side effects possible are not severe at all, while for infants that contract hepatitis B have a 15-25% chance of premature death, as well as liver problems and cancer. It's really important that we don't shut out the benefits of the vaccine because we see words that scare us. Its really important that we understand the science and facts. Also this graph from the the peer reviewed travel medicine journal might show why it is important to vaccinate for hep B

low risk of side effects is not a reason to vaccinate en mass against a statistically small number of cases that might get hep b and an even smaller number of those that might have complications.

Putting one child at risk of vaccine side effects to keep another child "safe" from hep b makes no sense. Not a compelling case for broad stroke action sorry.

People are free to drink the koolaid they just shouldn't expect others to drink because they do.

If people would use their critical thinking this world would be a better place.
