Vaccines, Vaccinations Discussions

[Loren Pechtel]

Some ADHD drugs can be strong, some aren't and are metabolized rather quickly.

The best way to go is to see a QUALIFIED person called psychiatrist and let them make a judgment, rather than listen to anyone online because they heard something.

I can't wait for autism to be even in higher rates in 20 years, despite the lower rates of vaccination. I can't wait for the obfuscation then!

Nah, it's going to "work". Autism rates will pretty much zero out. What's the point of a diagnosis that will only harm you?

I’m curious if anyone would watch the MAHA movie coming out?

Your ignorance is breathtaking.

Why? Understanding both sides will give me greater clarity!

Except every time you're shown anything you disagree with you fail to actually incorporate it into your world view. You're looking for confirmation of your beliefs, not the truth.

That isn't true. I'm just not sure how many injections are needed to keep a child healthy in a first world country where many deadly diseases have been eradicated due to higher income, good nutrition, better sanitation, better pest control, lower infection rates, safer food storage, better medical and dental care, access to clean water, cleaner air, less indoor and outdoor pollution, better work environments, better hygiene, etc. which they didn't have back in the day.

I don't trust psychiatry because all they do is prescribe drugs with no talk therapy, and usually after a 30-minute consult. The whole profession has changed, and some people have been hurt rather than helped.

That's not all they do. Unfortunately, they do tend to do it too much because therapy is expensive (takes a lot of high skill time.) And it isn't easy for the patient. It's far more a system problem than a psychiatrist problem.

 

[Loren Pechtel]

I don't trust that anyone or any group could have all the answers. That's why I try to use my own intuition after listening to all sides, which has never failed me when making big decisions.

Never failed you??? No, you simply conclude you're right.

Look at the measles death rate. Your own sources have given it to you, but you don't believe it because that would mean you position is wrong.

It's not as black and white as you think. After listening to the doctor and to all the other literature out there, I cannot say with total confidence that there is definitive proof that the vaccine schedule is safe for everyone. It's not a one-size-fits-all. I just read from a study that there is a greater risk of diabetes in children over 2 months but not those younger than 2 months. Is this just an association, or is there some validity to it? There are a lot of unknowns.

Again, you're comparing to a perfect situation.

With total confidence I can say that there is definitive proof that the vaccine schedule is not safe for everyone. The thing is we know attenuated vaccines are risky in those with compromised immune systems.

And we also have the mortality rates before/after each vaccine was introduced.

The fact that something isn't safe for everyone doesn't mean it's safe for nobody. I'm sensitive to the standard tablet binders--does that mean nobody should be allowed to take tablets??

And let's look at your paper. Who do the authors work for? "Classen Immunotherapies". Yikes, major conflict of interest. And what about the guy?

I am not responsible for young children anymore, so this issue is not a pressing issue for me, although I have grandchildren who still get vaccinated. This thread started because Pood tried to discredit me by saying I started a vaccine thread on another forum which was predominantly anti-vaccine, knowing full well how people in this forum would react. I was then encouraged to start a thread here, not realizing it would cause this much backlash. I'm not an anti-vaxxer as much as I question everything that could possibly cause unintended harm. I understand that walking out of one's house could be harmful if you get struck by lightning. I just try to minimize the risks, as do you. Vaccines are believed to minimize risks. I understand that, but I still wonder if all these vaccines are necessary for health, and whether they could be contributing to other health conditions down the road. The studies say no, but I don't necessarily put all my faith in the studies. That's why RFK Jr. is repeating them with an independent panel that has no conflict of interest. If they are replicated with the same positive results, then it will help the vaccine industry tremendously.

You give a very strong set of arguments why nobody should listen to your opinions on this topic.

You admit to knowing nothing; So why are you still posting?

Advocating for children to become more sick is worthy of backlash... and that should be expected.

Interesting, do you have bridges to sell me too?

Of course not, you just have to take a tablet that isn't manufactured with a tablet binder. The risk of vaccines may be small, but because there is a risk at all, it needs to be a parent's decision. If there were no risks, it would be a different narrative. That's what it really boils down to. It's a personal choice. You can think a person is irrational if they don't vaccinate, but once parents have done their due diligence, they will make an informed decision that they believe is best for their children. Parents are fierce protectors of their offspring, and they will not be intimidated by pro-vaccinators who tell them they're baby killers.

How much money do you think he makes versus the vaccine manufacturers? Is there a comparison? I haven't read this yet, but I'm curious what they have to say.

Yes.

I still do.

I'm not asking anyone to listen. I'm just thinking out loud. I would never tell anyone what to do. I wouldn't want to be responsible for giving them wrong advice by telling them they should or should not vaccinate. That needs to be up to them alone.

You admit to knowing nothing; So why are you still posting?

You love to twist my words. I know a lot of things, but I am ignorant of some things, which we all are. You should try being honest with yourself sometime. It's refreshing. You asked me why I'm still posting. Why shouldn't I post in response to others? If they don't want to engage, then the thread will die.

But what about the unvaccinated children who are doing just fine? Why should you be concerned if most children are vaccinated? Are you upset that the unvaccinated are getting the benefits of the vaccinated? What is it? The unvaccinated can't hurt your vaccinated child, so why can't you let it go? Parents are doing their very best.

I'm not an anti-vaxxer as much as I question everything that could possibly cause unintended harm.

Interesting, do you have bridges to sell me too?

I'm not selling anti-vaccine or vaccine rhetoric; I am just thinking out loud, trying to understand both sides. Vaccines should be an easy sell, but they're not in the present milieu. I would never tell anyone what they should or shouldn't do. I wouldn't want to be responsible for giving them wrong advice, either to get their children vaccinated or not. One of my granddaughters got RSV as a baby, and it was scary. I would consider this vaccine if it were proven to be safe and effective. As I said, I'm on the fence regarding the entire vaccine schedule, not all vaccines.

I think basically that is what they do. They dispense meds.

Unfortunately, they do tend to do it too much because therapy is expensive (takes a lot of high skill time.) And it isn't easy for the patient.

It might not be easy but it helps get to the root of the problem rather than covering it over with drugs that can add another layer of difficulty when trying to get off of them.

It's far more a system problem than a psychiatrist problem.

I agree. It always goes back to money.

Look at the measles death rate. Your own sources have given it to you, but you don't believe it because that would mean you position is wrong.

There are different stats on how many children have died from measles in a first-world country. Some say 1 in 1,000, others say 1 in 10,000.
