Vaccines As harmful to Pets As They Are To Our Children...

1. Well seeing as I've never gotten polio...

[trotsky]

3. Or measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus...

etc., etc.

[el_gato]

6. or the mange, or monkey's flying out of my ass

not to piss on your parade but those statements don't prove much

[DireStrike]

7. Except that those diseases used to be everywhere and now they're not

Due to vaccines.

12. Exactly

I love people who say stupid things like..

"I've never met anyone with Polio. Why do we have to get a vaccine for it?"

Dude! You've never met anyone with polio because we get vaccinated for it now!

--

There are a number of risks associated with vaccinations. Believe me I've looked into it recently, and one of my friends is an Immunologist and I've talked to him extensively. I don't pretend to be an expert, but it basically comes down to this.

The risks of not getting vaccinated are so much higher than the risks from getting vaccinated that you'd be, arguably, criminally negligent NOT to have your children vaccinated.

Dogs and cats. Well if you want them to be around as long as possible, and want to reduce their possible suffering, same thing applies.

9. The anti-vaccination crowd hasn't proven any of their claims.

So go piss on their parade instead of the one celebrating the undeniable success of vaccines against diseases that used to claim millions of lives.

2. aye yi yi

not this again :eyes:

[bleedingheart]

4. Yes.

I have not had rubella, polio, mumps, diptheria, pertussis or measles...

I have even had the pneumonia vaccine and it has helped me out with my asthma by protecting me and my kids (they had it too!)

5. Half of us would be dead if it were not for

these harmful vaccines.

[WildClarySage]

8. Certainly there's room for more improvements in the safety of

vaccines but I wouldn't give up the polio vaccine or the measles (ok, maybe that horribly painful DPT shot) to risk getting the diseases they protect us from.

10. Have you ever seen a dog die from parvovirus?

I was working at a university veterinary hospital the year parvo first broke out.

Hundreds of dead and dying dogs. It was a nightmare.

Vaccines are the reason dogs don't die like that today. That they don't get distemper.

That dogs, cats, and the people who love them don't get rabies.

That site is utter BS.

[alexisfree]

11. is true..

---"site is utter BS

[0007]

14. ....it has about 2% truth in it, and even that's hard to find

with a trained eye.

13. I remember the days before

we lined up at school for the first polio shots. Before that we lived in dread of the disease, even as young children.

How the anti-vax crowd can say that it does no good when the average in this country of 50,000 cases of polio a year has dropped to 8 (yes, just 8) is beyond me.

And in case anybody hasn't noticed, whooping cough is making a big comeback, starting in unvaccinated populations. Don't bet that diphtheria won't be next.

15. "Foods did you believe in them?"
