Pesky Vaccine Refusers

Another study of the bad people who refuse to have their children vaccinated.

Found on Vaccination News: http://www.vaccinationnews.com/

Which I recommend as an amazing resource for anyone concerned about vaccine matters.

They have all the numbers of who does and who does not vaccinate but no interest in fining out which group is healthier.

I also find it interesting how philanthropists get involved in vaccinations for poorer countries but not water and food nor protecting their environment. Ted Turner!!! There must be a great monetary gain in those "good intentions".

"Although in the age 6 group, refusers and non-refusers were
similar, refusers in the age 2 and under group had fewer hospital days per person (Pvalue=0.0006), were less frequently seen in outpatient settings (P-value=0.02) or emergency rooms (P-value=0.047) than non-refusers."

Interesting... I don't know if this study is really that valuable though.

"The study found... that refusers seem to be able to transmit disease to vaccinated individuals when the two groups are mixed in a school or during an outbreak."

Interesting admission.

"Since parents of refusers are from well educated communities, interventions should target these communities to communicate the most up-to-date research on vaccine adverse events and the consequences of vaccine preventable diseases."

I read this as "these parents won't swallow the usually BS 'information' we give out, we may actually have to give evidence".

"Progress may be made if the parents are given a wide amount of information about vaccinations including: which diseases are not affected by herd immunity, more information about the diseases, another viewpoint about vaccine side effects, and information that all vaccines routinely given to children, except some influenza vaccines, are thimerosol [sic] free."

Yeah, "another viewpoint" I hear every freaking day from the media. No thanks. And "trace amounts" does not equal "thimerosal free". If they can't get that right, I doubt their intelligence.

When they can prove to me that their evidence that vaccines are safe is based on legitimate, honest, and properly conducted studies I might listen. As long as the pharmaceutical world is producing false information and corrupting their studies they can't convince me. I guess I am just one of those well educated people that have looked beyond what the media is paid to shove down our throats. They are going to have to work a lot harder to change my mind.
