Re: Help with Quick Response to Common Statement

[Guest guest]

I would tell them they're assuming their child's vaccine will work but their child likely will not even be protected from his/her OWN vaccine, let alone other people's.

Or you could say, no, my child is safe because I don't allow him/her to be deliberately injected with toxic substances.

I would just say well if you’re

worried your child won’t be protected even though he is vaxxed, why are

you vaxxing? Are you worried they don’t work as well as you want me to

believe they work? after all, you just said my child is protected only because

your child is vaxxed.

They can’t have it both ways!

would love to have a quick, intelligent response to that statement without

having to explain true herd immunity. Just something witty to say that will

stick with them and get them thinking (hopefully for a longer discussion to

follow). Any thoughts?
