Damn you and your being right.

You know I've had a stuff nose for god knows how long, what the hell do I do!?

Exactly. I can't stand that dangerous nonsense.

Isn't it just mandatory for kids and people who are traveling a lot? I think its been ages since the last time I got a vaccine... other then the regular tetanus vaccine after I stab my hand, crash into a car with my bicycle... and you know other stuff that usually ends with having an open wound...

Mostly the important vaccinations are the ones you get as kids. The only ones I know of that you get as an adult are the two you mentioned (travelling and tetanus) and the influenza vaccine - which due to the changeable nature of influenza isn't in the end likely to stop a pandemic.

Good for kids and old people/ those with weak immune systems? Yes. Good for anyone else? No. Better to let your immune system work itself and do its own thing. It's like George Carlin says, your immune system needs germs to practice on.

And I don't know about you, but I don't exactly trust getting shot with high concentrations of mercury into my bloodstream. Those who create the vaccines will always be one step behind anyway, since there will always be new viruses out there that are immune to it.

Anyway this time more OT:

I think vaccines are a good thing... since I can't remember getting any of the diseases I was vaccined against... but the vaccine has to be proven to work, which sometimes does result in problems, because some of the influenza vaccines are put (and needed) on the market too fast to be tested seriously and completely...

Finally... I forgot that Paramedics get Hepatitis vaccines when they are still in training... so yeah... one vaccine more on my list ;P

Yes, letting your immune system practice on measles, mumps, rubella, smallpox, polio, tetanus etc. would be a great thing /sarcasm

It's true that exposure to germs strengthens your immune system, however exposure to deadly diseases kills/cripples people. Also the vaccines haven't fallen behind - smallpox is now only in labs, polio is nearly gone too and measles, mumps and rubella have all been drastically reduced.

Mandatory vaccinations are not a good idea. They used to be when all they did was cover the basics (mumps, measles, rubella, chicken pox etc.) It was tried and true and seemed to work well for a long time.

In the last 2 decades though they have been treating us as guinea pigs and adding things to the mix that simply do not need to be there.

These new vaccines that the drug companies are pushing are based on fear mongering with very little science involved. These are simply money generators and have been shown to have adverse side effects.

Examples.

H1N1 swine flu vaccination

(HPV) vaccine. They are even trying to give this one to boys even though it's been shown by the FDA that it does nothing to prevent papillomavirus that causes cervical cancer.

The yearly flu vaccine they cook up and have no time to test due to rapid mutation in the flu virus. (Kills more people than it helps)


Keep it simple and take care of the basics i say. These cocktails they try and pawn off on us these days are bad for us plain and simple.

@ bolded, smallpox still being existent in labs is actually pretty dangerous, if it ever got loose it would be one hell of a catastrophy... but it is a good biological weapon nowadays :D - the human of today sadly never encountered the smallpox, so we do not have anything that can harm the illness... its like being a native american first encountering european diseases... well probably not that bad since the smallpox isn't gone that long... well to the point... they should just kill them all (the smallpox ;P)! KILL IT WITH FIRE!
