For sure instead of having your child scarred for life from a vaccine like the picture shows, a mild case of death is preferable.

Stay safe out there, vaccines contain stuff with long words that sound dangerous. There are also many rumors that vaccines can cause all sorts of weird things you wouldn’t believe.

In case you wonder, this is sarcasm.

Just yesterday I was about to eat an orange from the supermarket, but then someone told me these contain (2R)-2-[(1S)-1,2-dihydroxyethyl]-3,4-dihydroxy-2H-furan-5-one. I mean seriously, I can’t even pronounce this - the question is who benefits from adding these chemicals to our fruits? The government?

Luckily for me though, I replaced oranges with a healthy dose of Cheerios™ and I’m feeling very healthy and refreshed.

That’s why we biologists don’t ever touch IUPAC names.

Does it come from an orange? Great, now it’s called orangy acid. Works fine for us.

What’s that? Sugar from a fruit? Fructose. Don’t bother us.

Chemical engineer here, I remember when learning orgo that I thought the IUPAC names were hot shit and so formal and cool.

As I got older and got exposure to industry it was a hard left turn. What do you mean “ethylene” is a better name for the olefin of ethane, vs ethene for the alkene? I mean seriously what kind of distinction is that?

Absolutely outrageous, they also contain vitamins, and did you know vitamins are chemicals!!! Better to avoid that shit. With artificial flavor and color you get way fewer chemicals.

The author here makes it sound like contracting mumps and/or encephalitis is a “choice.” But what they leave out, an important detail… like how about a child’s natural immunity?!? Besides, you don’t want an injection to cause autism or worse, a peanut allergy that deprives your young child from the joys of peanut butter jelly sandwiches for the rest of their life.

Realistically, aren’t we all a little tired of big pharma shoving these hard-to-pronounce ingredients and microchips into our God-given flesh?! So I challenge you, to do the research and truly decipher the right choice for your young children. It’s critically important; vaccine injuries can happen. Just look at what happened in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer’s table.

The weirdest thing about this whole antivaxx movement is that it has spread to Europe too. Greece has conscription, so 90%+ of greek males have served in the greek military. And almost all of them got vaccinated with a trillion vaccines, including ones against gozzila(you can never be too safe). And thats on top of whatever vaccines babies usually receive.

Noone complained about it. There was some antivaxx movement before but with covid, everyone went crazy with the vaccines. Suddenly vaccines were evil, noone knew what they had in them, it’s a global conspiracy. Everyone became a vaccine expert.

America needs to stop exporting their brain rot, we already have enough on our own.

No one complained about it because there wasn’t a national, or global, effort telling people to blindly rebel against it.

It’s the hive mind hardcore right mindset these days. Drum up something for the pawns to run around screaming and they will willingly volunteer their time, money, freedom, and lives so the elites running the movement can retain wealth and power

You say it spread to Europe from the U.S., but it’s kind of the other way around. The whole anti-vaxx movement was—although not started—heavily popularized by Andrew Wakefield, a medical scientist who very publicly brought criticism against the MMR vaccine (with an unethical study which lied about the condition of many of his patients) about it potentially causing autism. Remember, not too many years ago being autistic was seen as something so much worse than it is. In the meantime, he was being very privately paid off to produce a study for a lawyer who wanted proof that a certain vaccine could have caused medical complications, so he could win a law suit. There was a huge vaccine scare in Europe about MMR, and eventually it spread to America. However, as the anti-MMR-vaccine idea spread, it grew to become anti-vaccine. Wakefield, now rejected from the scientific community, had little other way to stay afloat financially than by pandering to his audience, shifting his message from anti-MMR to anti-vaxx.

Relevant book: https://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Who-Fooled-World-Deception/dp/1421438003 (seriously, great book, please read if you have the time)

Although if you’re talking about COVID vaccine fears, I know much less, it absolutely could have started in the U.S.

I have a vax scar that looks exactly like this. It’s not the MMR as this tweet claims; I had that one too and there is no scar. This was a smallpox vax, which do commonly leave a mark, and I got it when I was five. I don’t remember, but I’ve been told I was sick for a week.

Clearly, I recovered. Maybe that colors my view on this issue, I dunno.

But to truly understand the position of the individual that tweeted this, go look up some pics of actual smallpox cases, and then visit Wikipedia to learn about how many die right off the bat (some with horrible variations like hemorrhagic smallpox) and how many others survive, many with only massive scarring, but others with lasting internal damage and little-understood post-viral syndromes.

And then, now that you have a better idea of what smallpox is, reflect on how these anti-vaxxers would literally rather have smallpox, and see their kids have smallpox, than brave a preventative vaccine that has worked well for over two hundred years in one form or another.

I will never understand that.

I like a further way to put it into perspective and to show how far as global society we haven fallen since:

The WHO launched its vaccination campaign against smallpox in 1958 and it lastet until 1977. So during the height of the cold war the West, the Sovjets, China and all of the Third world came together, to get everyone vaccinated. While pointing nuclear weapons at each other they all still understood what a shitty disease that is and worked together on this issue, because they all saw it as a responsibilty to rid the world of that disease.

And they fucking did it. They vaccinated almost everyone in the world so the disease is considered extinct. Today we get Karen instead who’d rather have half the elderly in her community die, than wear a mask while shopping.

My mother also got the smallpox vaccine and had a permanent scar from it. I pointed it out as a small child and she told me about it, I asked my dad and he had one too. I thought it was cool, like a rite of passage where one day I’d be old enough to get my own permanent vaccine scar. But then they had to go and eradicate smallpox, saving countless lives. Bummer, dude.

I have two theories.

  1. A bunch of these people are scared of needles and are looking for any excuse not to get a needle. They don’t want to feel alone so they spread lies so others don’t get it either.

  2. They want people die and get off on that.

Some are really that irrevocably convinced that vaccines are the harmful thing. They don’t know how to question things properly and they end up following whatever lead they got hooked to. It’s a failure of modern education and society to fail to question things correctly. Questioning without logic or reason or being willing to accept you are wrong is unproductive at finding truth. However it’s a potent way towards confirmation bias.

They also might just not understand the answer. Like the “risk” they claim is a possibility, the side-effects are real. But the part they never seem to bring up is that the possibility of those severe side-effects is generally less than 1 in 10 000. Instead they talk about it like it’s a near-guaranteed outcome.

I think its mostly snake oil sellers and their radicalized victims. The flatmate of my girlfriend was an anti vaccers. She bought some extract from local plants for a 100 € because the guy told her it would soak up the vaccine from the body when there will be mandatory vaccinations.

Of course there were no mandatory vaccinations, having some hobo made tincture working against an mRNA vaccine is clearly ridicilous and she could have collected these plants in the next park and made the extract with some high proof alcohol for less than 5€.

One of the leaders of the covid conspiracy movement in Germany fled to Tansanie having defrauded his followers of more than 10.000.000 €

If you look into conspiracy products it is insane. Some wooden pole with some Glass balls in it? Yeah thats some energy protector, only 6.000 €
