Let’s just ignore this fact and be sure to pass laws making the HPV vaccine mandatory.

It isn’t why I and my sister are fat. We eat to much and don’t get enough exercise.

Dang. This one seems to have merit.

I normally dismiss anti-vaccine blog posts as paranoid nut jobs but this seems like a real possibility.

#21, Lyin’ Mike,

>I’m a fan of mandatory government immunizations

ANd what if it’s not a communicable disease?

Mike, if the disease is not communicable, there won’t be a vaccine for it. Vaccines are only for diseases that are passed from person to person.

Why not vaccinate everyone? It isn’t just those who aren’t vaccinated that are at risk, often if a new strain develops, the vaccination will give some protection. For others, the vaccination may have worn off or never have taken in the first place.

I hope your kids (don’t) get Polio. Remember that one?
I’ll take my chances with the vaccines.

The rise is obesity and diabetes is caused by one thing High Fructose Corn Syrup. Overlay a chart of manufactures using HFC and a chart of obesity in America and it’s very obvious.

Question: what happens to the conspiracy if the companies in question aren’t even American? Can US politicians get in bed with foreign pharma co’s? Why would they? What about Canadians? Why don’t Canadians have government conspriacy theories about this kind of stuff? Or UFOs? Is it because we’re boring? Canadians should be at great risk because of our socialist style medicine, run by the government… At the end of the day, you have to believe that your doctor is a dumby and or brainwashed. I know mine isn’t.

The cited article is a PRESS RELEASE from THE AUTHOR. He’s fairly obviously one of these “immunization is bad” kooks that feeds into the panic of people who don’t know any better.

It’s incredibly sad how we have built up such wonderful medical processes to save ourselves from incredibly horrible diseases like TB and small pox, only to have imbeciles attempt to dismantle the programs because they don’t understand them and “think” they cause diseases.

I’m a fan of mandatory government immunizations with no way out. Let the idiots kill themselves and their kids some odd way, rather than taking out hundreds with them because of stupid decisions the government lets them make for their own children.

This ‘study’ comes from a bogus, online journal that holds no credence in the endocrinology world. The author has a clear conflict of interest.
Would anyone like to go back to the days when parents helplessly watched their children die from tetanus, diphtheria, polio, etc.? I watched an unvaccinated child die from diphtheria at Cook County hospital and it was horrifying. It used to be commonplace. One of the reasons people had more kids only 100 years ago was that they expected some of them to die from diseases we never see now. An old-timer in our town wrote a historical piece for the local paper, describing his neighbors coming by the homestead with a horsedrawn sled and their 10 children piled up like cordwood on it, all dead from diphtheria. Vaccines are a medical miracle. People forget so quickly…

The problem is that the only people with the info are inside the pharmaceutical companies and…
“In a survey of 87 American whistleblowers from the civil service and private industry, all but one experienced retaliation, with those employed longer experiencing worse reprisal. Harassment came from peers as well as superiors and most of those in private industry and half of those in the civil service lost their jobs. Of the total, 17% lost their homes, 8% filed for bankruptcy, 15% got divorced and 10% attempted suicide.”

Yet some people want to pass laws insisting that people take every vaccination that a company comes up with. People on this site were cheering a new mandate for vaccines not too long ago.

How else but with generic engineering could we hope to nullify being outnumbered by China and India in war. Growth hormones aren’t to make cows bigger……

#6, 14 millions deaths out of a population of 6.6 billion is pretty insignificant. I’m sure though, once we eradicate all disease, we can make a go at reaching 10+ billion. The world should be plenty warm by then to present us with even more problems to deal with.
