See for example how vaccination against measles in some developing countries has reduced measles deaths by up to 400,000 a year in just 5 years. http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/.../en/index.html
Vaccines save millions of lives every year, to me it seems very irresponisble not to vaccinate. Obviously a brand new vaccination provides a new layer of concerns as there isn't the long-term data, and to me it wouldn't present quite as clear cut a proposition. |
I did say some.. some vaccines are needed. And measles would be one, and so would any other problem that can kill off half of earth.
Cancer isn't anything even closely related to measles, polio, ect..
Look at the flu shot - people that get it still get the flu - just like people that don't get won't ever get the flu. Kids need to get sick to make the body stronger as adults, adults need to get sick to make us stronger old people.
The human body is built to get sick.. It's built to kill off anything that enters it. Give your mind and body the proper things it needs and it will produce results that have cured cancer, aids, and the even the flu. Introducing man made chemicals into your body at any level isn't good, so why is this?
