Figured the fraud mentioned in the wiki article covered the "dishonest" part and "wrong" was easier to prove. I can't rule out the possibility that he's in so deep that he really believes what he's saying (not that it'd make the situation any better).
Sucks to hear that you've had bad reactions in the past but I'm glad it didn't turn you against them as a whole. Hopefully enough of the rest of us can get them and lower the overall risk of illness when flu season rolls around.
I'm actually the same way, I'm one of those that got myocarditis after the vaccine, but I also understand that nothing is side affect free so while it stinks for me I still 100% support the use of vaccines... Thankfully after a few weeks/months the heart palpitations stopped.
I mean ... Polio anyone? No? Chickenpox? Oh yeah that's right, vaccines. They actually worked.
I'm sorry to tell you that's not what happened.
You had chickenpox for a few weeks whilst the shingles bedded down nice and cosy in your nerves ready to strike again when your immune system is down. It's not over and it'll be worse when it comes back.
There's a chicken pox vaccine that prevents you from catching it yes. The shingles vaccine reduces the risk of the shingles you already have breaking through into active infection for about 10 years and then isn't effective a second time. (Currently) there's no not-having-shingles once you've got it.
Yeah I don't believe you
The anti vaxxer who claims to have gone through medical school though, everyone is gathering to hear what stupid bullshit they lie about
IIRC, he wasn't even anti vax at the start. He was being paid to peddle separate vaccines and claimed it was just the MMR jab that could cause autism.
Which is still bollocks anyway, but people will do anything to deny that autism runs in their family...
He wasn’t just paid to peddle the separate vaccines. He owned the company that made them.
That guy committed crimes against humanity. What a thorough grifter
