Vaccines are Like Seat Belts
“We have seat belt rules,” [Offit] says. “Seat belts save lives. There was never a question about that. The data was absolutely clear. But people didn’t use them until they were required to use them (http://www.wired.com/magazine/2009/10/ff_waronscience/all/1).” Vaccines are like seat belts if seat belts were made of arsenic that *may* or *may not* seep into your skin and kill you. Vaccines are like seat belts if seat belts sometimes randomly caused your car to drive into oncoming traffic. But this wouldn’t be called a car accident because everyone knows seat belts...

All I have to say is: Duh. I saw this one coming when I first reviewed this horrible “cancer vaccine.” Gardasil Researcher Drops A Bombshell Harper: Controversal Drug Will Do Little To Reduce Cervical Cancer Rates Dr. Diane Harper, lead researcher in the development of two human papilloma virus vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix, said the controversial drugs will do little to reduce cervical cancer rates and, even though they’re being recommended for girls as young as nine, there have been no efficacy trials in children under the age of 15.

There is a thread on a very popular parenting message board entitled “Should non-vaccinated kids be allowed to attend public school? ” I couldn’t even believe the question but I was certainly not prepared for the results of the poll.

I also wouldn’t vaccinate my child for any reason. Autism seems to always been seen as the reason parents don’t vaccinate and I can tell you that, for me, it couldn’t be farther from the truth.
