Vaccines

Vaccines have many myths surrounding them, all fabricated by people who either want money, or are scared of something they don’t know anything about. Like how carnists make up lies about vegans because vegans either cause them to lose money (such as animal agriculture losing money), or because they know nothing about veganism and the science so they make up lies to scare people away from this unknown thing.

But, vaccines are simply weakened, infectious diseases that your body learns to destroy so that it can produce antibodies for that particular disease. So, if the full power disease shows up your body can easily kill it.

Vaccines have been around for centuries, even George Washington used them to help defeat the British. America literally wouldn’t exist without vaccines. How patriotic!

Vaccines also are vegan since veganism is about not harming others. No, there’s no “fetal cells” in vaccines, and while some of the testing methods are not vegan YET, scientists and doctors are fighting to end vivisecting so since it does not help advance science at all.

Now, let’s talk about how chromosomes and autism are related. The cause of autism is actually due to a chromosome mutating. The cause of the mutation is believed to be linked to a lack of vitamin D. This could be the reason why autism is more prevalent in some cultures than others. In the United States less people are getting enough time outside in the sun, thus lowering their vitamin D. While in cultures that live outdoors more seem to not have autistic members. But the connection between the chromosomes and autism is clear. Simply the cause for the chromosome mutating isn’t fully understood.

Sadly, many blame vaccines for causing autism and even cancer. This simply is not the case. Never has there been ANY connection between autism and vaccines, nor vaccines to cancer. The primary cause of cancer is diet. For humans, it’s caused by eating animal products (meat, dairy, and eggs). All vaccines do is prevent illnesses. Sometimes, allergic reactions can occur, and over-vaccination is only possibly if you vaccinate monthly. The best way to ensure you don’t over-vaccinate yourself, children, or pets is to simply take a Titer test. The Titer test takes some blood and looks for antibodies. This determines if you still have antibodies for certain illnesses. If not, a vaccine can then be administered. The worse thing over-vaccinating does is simply harm the immune system some. It doesn’t cause any mental or severe physical damage.

Vaccines have only helped in stopping millions from dying from various illnesses. Not just with humans but other species. Thanks to vaccines we are seeing the complete eradication of terrible diseases such as polio, and in some places rabies. But, due to anti-vaccers measles and other deadly diseases are making a comeback. Ill-informed people who sadly are still allowed to breed are refusing to vaccinate their children and even pets (which it is illegal to not vaccinate pets against rabies in the USA, England, and most other countries). They then allow their children to go to schools, passing the vaccine rules by claiming it’s for “religious purposes,” when not a single religion is against vaccines. This allows these children to not only catch deadly diseases but pass them on to other who have not yet gotten a vaccine due to their age or other possible reasons. Even if the child doesn’t die from the disease doesn’t mean they don’t suffer. The disease itself can cripple, blind, or cause other permanent harm to the child depending on what disease it is. And the process of having to life through having it is a nightmare itself.

Some people even go as far as being “faith-healers,” which are more people who shouldn’t be allowed to ever procreate. these people refuse to see a doctor period. They simply pray, thinking God will heal when it’s obvious God gave us doctors for that. Countless children have died, been crippled, or suffered in other unimaginable ways due to this. These people also usually keep their children homeschooled, thus hiding the fact they never take them to a doctor and also not providing proper education.

How did this all start? Well, anti-vaccers first appeared due to dog fighting. When bovines were able to get vaccinated they no longer were getting sick. Before, sick bovines would be giving to men who fought their dogs. They would train the dogs to attack and tear apart the poor bulls, gambling and earning money. But once the bulls no longer were sent to them they grew furious. Lies began to grow, and those who were afraid of science also protested vaccines. Over time the reasons for being against vaccines continuously changed until today where they are being blamed for autism and cancer.
