Here are some basic stats – before the whole conversation goes wild π
From the CDC
Close to 500,000 cases were reported annually to CDC, resulting in:
48,000 hospitalizations
4,000 cases with encephalitis (brain swelling)
450 to 500 deaths
Read more here
So about 1/1000 die & 1/100 get brain swelling resulting in permanent injury.
Before the vaccinate came out , there were 6K deaths annually which is quite solid evidence that the shot helps π – read more here https://www.cdc.gov/measles/about/history.html
YWN had a letter from R’ Shternbach (head of badatz in Israel) that said 1/1000 is pikuach nefesh & had a lengthy letter to rabbi Kotler & said it is an obligation on every father to vaccinate his kid.
You can read that letter & view it in English on YWN here https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/general/1631188/rav-moshe-sternbuch-writes-letter-to-rav-malkiel-kotler-about-the-halachic-requirement-to-vaccinate.html
The ant vaxxers supposedly claim you can become autistic from the shots etc.
The DR who had that theory was booted & the latest , largest study ever disproves it – see that here
https://www.autismspeaks.org/science-news/no-mmr-autism-link-large-study-vaccinated-vs-unvaccinated-kids
This link also goes through that school of thought & concludes that it is not conclusive π
https://www.historyofvaccines.org/content/articles/do-vaccines-cause-autismSo – what is the story with the anti vaxxers? What is the philosophy behind it?
Even if they claim it may harm their kid – do they disagree that measles & other diseases also harm people? If they agree, why do they think their kids should be in school? Don’t they understand that their kids – although not autistic – can harm others?
I am honestly confused & would like to get their side!Thank you!

From what Iβve read through social media, anti vaxxers also feel that the adjuvants that are put into vaccines are dangerous enough to cause seizures, death, encephalitis, allergies, asthma… while not everything put into vaccines are ideal.. the diseases they protect us against can be deadly to infants, elderly, immunocompromised.. but from their point of view itβs not just abt vaccines causing autism

Interesting.
2 questions.
1) In that case, isnt it provable via autopsies? re asthma – and allergies – that should be provable as well based on numbers but us not the scariest side affect etc.
2) If the result can be death – isnt it simple numbers game? If 1/1000 measles cases die and 1/100 have brain damage – vs whatever percentage their way – which obviously iw lower – even according to them.
Shouldnt this be a simple answer?0December 16, 2018
