Re: Parent Fears Keep Children from Vaccines

[Guest guest]

Oh I'm sure many of us can echo your sentiment .

I'd like to know if there ever was any kind of study done to

determine just how many of the unvaxed kids #1 ever get those

diseases, #2 If they do get the diseases atall, if they are

permanently damaged or die from them, #3 How much healthier overall

they are than vaxed kids.

I'll bet this study was never done, and I'll bet it's because it

would proove way too much.

I wish some other independant company would fund research like

that. I'll bet that few kids get the diseases, if so they probably

get over it quicker and more effectively than vaxed kids, AND I'll

bet that unvaxed kids are healthier overall and devoid of chronic

illnesses that plague the majority of other kids.

Oh, but nobody sees that of course, they just see that there are x

amount of unvaxed kids running around and they panic.

Ugh!

believe vaccines are more dangerous than the diseases they prevent.

By the way, it's not fear that keeps the children unvaxed, it's

knowledge. Fear is what makes parents want to vax.

This is great news. The number is up to 20%. The numbers are sure to rise as

more become aware of the vaccine lies etc.

I am very proud to see this. They are sounding desperate in a way.

Of course many of these parents selectively vax I am sure but they will

count the selective vaxxers in with the ones that dont vax at all.

This skews the numbers drastically. Sounds like a scare tactic to me.
