Why do some people think that vaccination is a systematic poisoning for everybody?
The usual suspects…
Vaccination as a Systematic Poisoning for Everybody
Now as a parent, when you say that you want to delay some vaccines because you are scared about the things you have heard on the internet, is this the kind of thing you are talking about?
Did you hear someone calling vaccination a systemic poisoning?
Or did you hear some of the other things that Sherri Tenpenny has been saying, like:
measles is not ebola - the only true thing she has said lately. They are in fact two different viruses!
measles is a fever, a cough, a rash… and life goes on and you have a lifetime of natural immunity. - she leaves out that measles is a week of very high fever and life doesn’t actually go on for everyone who has measles. People die when they have measles.
you have a lower risk of diabetes, brain cancer, and heart disease - none of this is true. There are no benefits of having measles. Plus Sherri Tenpenny leaves out the part of ending up with immune amnesia after having measles.
the death rate from measles, before the measles vaccine came out in 1963, was two in a million - in 1962, just before the measles vaccine came out, there were 408 measles deaths in the United States, among a population of 192 million people, and that’s where she gets her 2 in a million population based death rate. It is much more accurate to talk about the actual measles case-fatality rate though - how many people with measles actually died? And for that, you take the 408 deaths and divide by the 549,000 reported measles cases and you get one death for every 1,100 reported cases.
hospitalization was 1 in 10,000 or less - not true! The CDC reported about 48,000 measles hospitalizations per year around 1962. So out of 549,000 reported cases, that would mean about one out of every 11 cases were hospitalized!
measles wasn’t a deadly disease before the MMR even was created - as you have already seen, this isn’t true and hundreds of people died each year in the United States each year from measles.
vaccination is an industrial poisoning with no benefit and all downside - this is a ridiculous statement. Vaccines are safe and necessary, with few risks.
But that’s not all she says!
“So and if you don’t believe in vaccines, you either give up your sovereignty to the medical establishment and hand your baby over to them to put on a table and skew them with poisons. Either you believe in that or you don’t! You don’t believe in sometimes.
You don’t think, well, maybe this one’s okay. You realize that vaccination is a systemic poisoning for everybody.”
Sherri Tenpenny
Pretty extreme, right?
It is, but she is not the only anti-vaccine influencer to think like this.
At a recent MAHA Institute event, Larry Palevsky said that every child who gets a vaccine has a vaccine injury, whether or not they know it!
And many anti-vaccine influencers believe that all vaccines are poison.
Which leaves us with one real question as you think about vaccinating and protecting your kids - do you really believe all of this stuff they are saying?
Do you really believe it, even after we point all of of the times they are not only wrong, but intentionally trying to deceive you?
Do you believe it sometimes, even when they are obviously wrong?
Thanks for setting the record straight on those morbidity/mortality stats! I keep hearing that argument that pre-vaccine, measles was less virulent 🙄. I know anti-vaxxers don’t think so, but it’s the same virus today as it was in 1960.
