Understand the heard part but this is about small amout of people's choice not eleminating vacines. If they made them safer and more spread out Id would feel differnt then I do. Again millions at risk???? There has been in the USA around 11,000 deaths from a preventable disease in the last 65 years. Around 2/3 being 62, 63, 64 & 65 years ago. http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/G/cases-deaths.pdf Again way way more die from other reasons, why force small amount to do something they don't feal that's a right choice for there family? Go after more dangerous things. Heres that link again from the FDA and like I said why even list autism as adverse effect if it's "scienticly proven" not to, why list it? http://www.fda.gov/downloads/BiologicsBloodVaccines/Vaccines/ApprovedProducts/UCM101580.pdf. Did you read the other "scientific study" showing aluminum can cause autsim and other nurologicaly damage. http://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/14/11/2227/pdf Theres too much articles that are both sides for comfort. One saying no others saying yes. I do believe most vacines are ment to be good, they just need to try and make them safer. Why not? Then there shouldn't be much controversy or any payouts do to severe damage or deaths. |
Most likely it's there as an antiquated catchall to avoid lawsuits, and they simply haven't updated it.
As to the chart, let's look at 1950; over 3000 recorded deaths in the US that year from polio and pertussis alone. And this was after smallpox, the biggest preventable killer, had been already vaccinated out of the country. (It also doesn't list how many people survived but were left crippled, blinded, or with other lasting consequences)
Fast forward to 2011, and not a single death. Why? Because of extensive vaccination. Remember also that the population of the US in 1950 was less than half what it is today.
Herd immunity is the mechanism by which epidemics are prevented, but it only works if a certain percentage of the population or higher is immune. When somebody doesn't vaccinate, they are lowering the population's overall immunity, and when it falls below a certain point, outbreaks occur.
