Force will never work

It’s sad that the Chabad community is being blinded by the pressure from the cdc. Which has been proven to manipulate facts and data to increase sales for pharmaceutical companies. How many people need to die and be harmed from vaccines until people will recognize the truth of vaccines. When people just follow what they are told without knowing, disaster will strike. When government controls everything and rights are taken away. You will have another holocaust or worse.

…how many people will need to die from previously ERADICATED diseases before you start vaccinating your child? Even if 1 in 1,000 people has an allergic reaction to a vaccine – and 1 in 1,000,000 dies from a vaccine – that is NOTHING compared to the death, destruction, and crippling caused by the diseases these vaccines PREVENT. Your view is horrifying. Do you know how many children and adults needed to be placed in “iron lungs” during polio outbreaks? How many were killed, or crippled for life? Is it time to buy stock in iron lungs again? My great-grandfather lost… Read more »

It’s important not to lump all vaccines together and treat each one separately. Let’s talk about measles vs the MMR. The truth is, bottom line, the absolute risk is probably very low from either – though the risk from disease is more known. The measles is not the Spanish flu, or polio. It was a common childhood disease that 100% of kids got by age 15 before vaccine was introduced in 1963 in US. In other developed countries the vaccine was introduced much later, because the need was very much questioned. The fatality rate in the 10 years prior to… Read more »

Fatality rate

“The fatality rate in the 10 years prior to vaccine introduction was about 1/10,000”

Today with good medicine the fatality rate is about 1/1000 to 1/2000. Israel has had about 3400 cases of measles in the year, and has had 2 deaths. That is 1 death in 1600.

Where are you getting your numbers from? Some antivaxxer website on the internet?

100% of kids did NOT get measles by age 15

This lie has been posted in another measles thread here. I WAS BORN IN 1948 AND I NEVER GOT MEASLES. I was required by an employer to get the vaccine at approximately age 50.

Clearly science is behind with this. Since when is science the ultimate? It’s a work in progress. If someone’s child became autistic or other bad reaction within hours of a vaccine, they don’t need science or doctors to tell them there’s no link. They’ve seen it and experienced it. So when countless families are reporting negative side effects, and they’re reactions are being ignored than obviously these researchers are picking and choosing which data they’d like to include. Some of us actually believe real life over ‘science’. And btw.i do vaccinate but fully support the right to choose, and the… Read more »

There actually is plenty of science which gives a more nuanced view on vaccine risks and benefits, if not the majority of evidence beginning to be available now. The issue isn’t a problem with science per se, rather with the way medicine is administered in the US today. Most low level doctors like pediatricians, known next to nothing about this, have not studied anything about vaccines in medical school more than how to give one and to memorize the schedule. They were not taught about reactions, the mechanisms much of which is still unknown, how to report an injury etc.… Read more »

> If someone’s child became autistic or other bad reaction within hours of a vaccine, they don’t need science or doctors to tell them there’s no link. Autism? Seriously? NO CHILD HAS EVER “BECOME AUTISTIC” WITHIN HOURS OF A VACCINE. Autism is hard to diagnose before 24 months, symptoms often surface between 12 and 18 months. And, yes, that is when most babies get vaccinated. It is also when they are learning to walk, talk, and eat a variety of foods. By your “logic” any of those could be the autism link. Before you spout dangerous nonsense, understand the difference… Read more »

So since you don’t know them they don’t exist? Yes, many children within hours or days have changed or reacted negatively, and some permanently. If you don’t personally know any, thank Hashem that your family isn’t prone but unfortunately not everyone is so lucky, and to declare it never happened makes their pain all the greater. Let’s open our eyes and realize that some people are suffering from vaccines and there is another side to this. And do we honestly expect the researchers who are part of the pharmaceutical companies, after years of vouching for it’s safety, to come out… Read more »

People die and are harmed by measles and other such diseases at far greater rates than from vaccinations. You are the one who’s blinded by junk science, and your attitude is what’s brought about the current measles outbreak. And it is an utter chutzpah for you to use the deaths of Jews al kiddush Hashem in the Holocaust to push your agenda.

Really? Pithy one liners? Ok, I’ll bite … Because there are kids and those with compromised immune systems who can’t be vaccinated and who would be at great risk if infected.

Some vaccinated kids rely on herd protection

Because with some children who have been vaccinated, the immunity don’t “take” in their body and they are therefore not fully protected. These kids need to rely on the herd protection of their peers who have been vaccinated and are immune. If *your* child isn’t vaccinated and catches a disease, unfortunately a child who *was* vaccinated but relies on herd protection is now vulnerable to disease from your unvaccinated child.

How?

1. Babies who have not reached the age of vaccination are vulnerable.
2. People with compromised immune systems are vulnerable.
3. Pregnant women are vulnerable.

How can you claim to be Chabad when the the Rebbe was pro-vaccine on multiple occasions? The Rebbe was aware of vaccine risk yet still strongly advised to vaccinate. Are you better informed than the Rebbe on this topic?

I do give vaccines to my kids. However I’d like to point out that after doing proper research I discovered that it’s not that simple as what we are being told by our local professionals. There is much more info that everyone should know before making any statement anti or pro vaccines. Iam not saying my opinion.. it’s stupid to say a opioid on your own. But do your self a favor and do the proper research. You will be surprised to discover a ton of info that was never revealed to you before…. Don’t be dumb and believe the… Read more »

For those who want to find true statistics from real life people. Go to vaers.hhs.gov see for yourself how many families and peoples lives have been destroyed by vaccines. And then try to tell everyone that vaccines are safe. Let vaccine companies have responsibility like any other manufacturer that supply products to the public. Let them have the same consequences for giving a life endangering product to the public. At this point “They cant be sued”.No one can enforce them to do the studies needed to ensure vaccines are safe. People will always choose to do what is safe for… Read more »

By the way someone writing here before as follows ” I did research. And I know everything” well, if this is what you are saying then you probably know “NOTHING”
I will bez’h continue giving vaccines for my kids because there is simply no clear path about this. However as someone writes before ” every coin has two sides” if can not admit to this then you ate foolish…

Is that failing to vaccinate your children is creating a chilul Hashem, every report in the secular news says the outbreaks are mainly in Orthodox Jewish areas. In the Middle Ages Jews were blamed for the Plague. Do you really want to now ACTUALLY sicken and/or kill innocent people because of some conspiracy theory website you read?
