Vaccines

I've run into a lot of frustrating arguments from people who normally are very reasonable, when discussing vaccines, especially in reference to my newborn. These people are fueled by some kind of blind faith in the medical industry and its rhetoric. That's wrong, and they should knock it the f*ck off.

The truth of the matter about vaccines is that each individual one needs to be assessed by its potential effects. Whether or not the pros outweigh the cons is totally different from vaccine to vaccine. Being all for, or all against them is silly. Some of them work, and some of them simply make a lot of money for big pharma. Either way, they're all getting sold, and pushed, as something that people not only need to do for themselves, but for others. This is very successful marketing, but ought to be analysed as such, and not as scientific fact.

Medications in general need to be assessed, and I urge everyone here to do a lot of research before they decide to add a new non-food chemical into their life, just because someone made a pitch for it. It's not about getting a 'second' opinion. You already have that by going to a doctor, or listening to an ad campaign. You need to get a FIRST opinion, that is, your own.
