Top Cats Hat   10 #5 Posted June 27, 2019 I assume that a moderator has decided that mac 33’s ‘vaccine denial’ posts are not appropriate.  That’s a shame as nonsense like that should be tackled head on, not ignored. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I’m ok that his nonsense has gone.  It is dangerous and has lead to the illness and death of many people.

MAC33   10 #7 Posted June 28, 2019 I agree we should not have people questioning vaccinations.  After all this a forum right.  Something like three billion dollars paid out already in the U.S by the Government not the Pharmaceutical companies for compensation to people harmed by them.     Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I think it's more productive to hear such opinions and (easily) disprove them rather than straight censor them.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
petemcewan   27 #9 Posted June 28, 2019 I agree we should not censor. The medical profession and the pharmaceutical industry are  not infallible ,they make mistakes. Consequently they should be open to examination . The science supporting vaccination is impeccable . I put two links that examined HPV and other kinds of cancer and they were removed. It is something to be celebrated that the HPV vaccination programme will eventually rid humanity of the cancers associated with HPV. Mac33-and others- may draw our attention to adverse events caused by vaccination. However, vaccination is a proven science and it works for the majority of us who choose to undergo the programme.

Earlier, I suggested that he should consider the effect of repeating unsubstantiated claims about the dangers of vaccines. Claims that result in unnecessary illness and death.  Mac is part of that machine and that machine kills.

petemcewan   27 #11 Posted June 28, 2019 I'm puzzled why people reject a procedure that is overwhelmingly proven to be effective in the majority of the population. Yes, there may be some adverse reactions to some vaccines. But that does not disprove the science. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

This is because the general public have been proven time and time again to be stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
