Why do you think they press giving/getting flu shots around the shopping seasons? Humm... Maybe so you won't hear the screams of your Visa card as it is casually swiped through "The Corportations" card readers multiple times through out the day, or maybe the medication that "They"/"The Corporations" produce helps you relax and inhibits the consequence side of your brain allowing you to mindlessly spend money on "The Corporations" widgets! That is why I don't allow anyone at my compound to be vaccinated!
Wake up America!
Because historically that corresponds to the natural increase in the spread of the flu virus due to a host of factors? Maybe?
I really hope you just forgot to put that in purple.
I'm a HUGE proponant of herbal/homeopathic medicine.
let me know where you work so i can avoid it. i bet you believe in voodoo, crystal scrying and tarot cards too, right?
Right, because until modern western medicine came along, societies all over earth had absolutely nothing in the way of medical treatment.
Pull your head outta the dark space, dude. Nature IS the original pharmacy.
If you think in term of present day risk the probability of these diseases have decreased. They had a greater benefit then than now.
The Vaccines today targeting influenza, or types of HPV's are down right scary.
The probability has decreased specifically because of the use of vaxes. It's why small pox is practically non-existent except in some lab somewhere. Without the vaxes, we'd still be facing similar levels of incidence for all the communicable diseases, with some possible reduction due to increased sanitation efforts. But the reason incidence is so low is because we've effectively wiped out all the vectors (that would be us!) that allow for the perpetuation of the disease.
I guarantee if you stopped vaxing for the common communicable diseases, you'd see a massive spike in incidence over the course of the next 10-15 years.
That said, I do think we are overmedicated and overvaxed. I've got no problem vaxing for diseases where the risk of adverse effects is greater from the disease than the vax. Vaxing is not the problem. What they put in the vax in addition to the immunity-boosting disease-specific antigen is. We shouldn't be screaming to stop vaxing. We should be screaming for better vaxes.
