I can't imagine why Parents stopped trusting the medical community over vaccines...

MAGA is against all vaccines now. Watch for measles & mumps outbreaks in red states in the coming months. And your incoming HHS Secretary? You realize he’s certifiable, right?

MAGAt!

Watched the WLBT report when it ran live and was disappointed that whomever interviewed Dr. Mullen failed to inquire as to whether or not the spike in measles cases potentially had any correlation to the invasion of illegal aliens this country has received during the failed Biden presidency. Dr. Mullen though was quick to allude to a causal connection between the spike in measles and the slight reduction in vaccination rates.

Vaccines are safe, uh? Why do they need immunity from liability then? Testimony regarding the 1986 law granting liability protections literally stated vaccines are inherently unsafe and is why the liabilty protection was needed. Safe according to which studies? The 5 day "rigorous" study of 147 kids with no control group the Hepatitis B vaccine was subjected to? Scores of children died every year from diseases before vaccines? Which diseases? Measles? Where the US death rate was 1 in 500,000. Are you referring to Mumps? Where the death rate was 1 in 6,000,000. Perhaps you are referring to Rubella? Oh that death rate 1 in 13,000,000. Quit the fear mongering about these diseases being deadly when all of them are treatable with modern therapeutic techniques.

30 kids or so used to die just from polio every year.

and that was just in Mississippi

Curious whether or not the exemptions stat offered is total or specific or makes any distinction between either.

I know a family who has received an exemption and their objections are only for specific vaccinations. Their child is vaccinated.

Vaccinations bad. Ozempic and other commercial drugs good.

Either side believes too strongly and only look at the data supporting their position for validation. The truth lies somewhere in the middle, but probably not at the midpoint between the two...

If you're anti-vax, you're officially a dumbass. Period.

An embarrassing and sad situation for the state, particularly because it was entirely preventable.

Know-nothings uh? You're a real piece of work calling parents who want their kids to be healthy know nothings. I promise you I'm 10x more informed than you about the safety of vaccines. All you can do is regurgitate the same fear mongering talking points from health authorities - the same health authorities who call on a 1 year old to have received 4 Covid vaccinations, the same health authorities who tells us "definitively" vaccines have nothing to do with autism going from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 32 yet cant explain what it is that is causing the rise. Have you ever read a single study of which the FDA relied on to approve a vaccine? Seriously, google it and look up one. They are jokes. Short term studies. No control groups. Freaking Eliquis was subjected to 7.5 years of study before it could be approved, but a vaccine chock full of preservatives and aluminum can be approved after a 5 day study? But, by all means carry on with the low IQ fear mongering.

12:59 for the win.

1:04 I can make a strong assumption, based on your tone, how you voted. Have you given any consideration to the number of unvaccinated people, coming from locations with vastly lower health standards than ours, who came across our borders during your president's failed administration? Any chance they could be the cause of any potential rise of otherwise rare diseases in this country? No, I didn't think you'd believe that. Also, have you looked at the rate of decline in Measles that occurred during he 20th Century BEFORE the vaccine arrived in 1963? That would be almost 99%.....BEFORE the vaccine arrived. BUT, the vaccine, as is no surprise has been credited with its eradication. Do some research.

As for 1:29, you're absolutely a leftist following the standard protocol: You have no basis on which to make a substantive argument, so the name calling begins. The "Period" = "the science is settled." So typical.

Big pharma, hospital corporations, the medical industry and sadly doctors are learning that there are consequences for their dreadful actions. The covid debacle can not be overlooked. Forced genetic modification with unproven drugs can and should make people wary and cautious.

Measles, TB, STD’s, etal are necessarily the result of disastrous immigration policies. Doesn’t mean all cases are the result of the progressives’s hordes of illegals but a large portion of the third world health issues we are experiencing domestically most certainly are. All so-called vaccines need to go through extensive safety and efficacy reviews and studies. If you think they are or have been, you are mistaken and/or misinformed.

If you are older than 55 you likely remember at least some of the effects of polio. Polio is without a doubt a serious concern. However, with any degree of research, it is evident that the polio crisis had other health issues like arsenic and pesticide/herbicides lumped into the numbers. No matter one’s opinion on vaccines, solid critical thinking and some degree of skepticism is warranted.

Why is the topic of vaccines such a polarizing topic? There's such a religious zeal to those who think vaccines are the best thing since sliced bread. My kids, who are adults now, were given all the vaccines required by their schools. We trusted the drug companies and the pediatricians. Over the past few years, I have learned that those groups aren't trustworthy. 'Proven Science' at 1:29 just called me a dumbass. I'm chuckling over here at the pomposity on display. I don't pretend to know all the answers, but I have questions. Here's a link to some food for thought: https://learntherisk.org/vaccines/diseases/

Cannot wait to rent my iron lung collection!

An embarrassing and sad situation for the state, particularly because it was entirely predictable.

Never underestimate the consequences of "stupid is as stupid does."

Tinfoilers and chemtrailers check in!

MS leads the nation in STD infections-

It’s confusing because most of the anti-vax people favored letting old and sick people die in favor of herd immunity. Pro-vaxxers thought everyone should be vaccinated for the greater good of society, even if a few people had side effects or died from it. I’m confused b/c I don’t know why in the f*** we are still talking about this. Can’t we all just get along?

How many of you got your ten year vax boosters at age 20, 30, 40, etc? If you haven’t then you are just as bad as the never vaxxed. And I am 45 never have been vaxxed and never will be. If Muslims and Jews can opt-out then so can I.

You might be one of them talibangelicals. Or maybe even a real Amish!

All vaccines are not bad. Those that follow the proper course of development, testing, and clinical trials can take years to reach the market, but most of those are safe. But we can thank the federal govt, and the haste to make a lot of money, during COVID for the distrust people have developed for vaccines. I was dumb enough to take just one of those, and it was one pulled from the market. I said never again, and I never got a booster or another covid shot.

Lmao at those that still "trust the science" given that just the week Red Dye No. 3 just got banned from foods by the FDA 30 years after they banned it from cosmetics because it was totally safe to ingest but not safe to put on your skin, but, yeah, you're going to trust those same folks at the FDA to tell you that vaccines are safe. Yet keep calling us crazy for not trusting them about giving our babies 22 vaccines in their first year of life like the CDC immunization schedule calls for. No, y'all are the crazy ones for trusting these corrupt, influenced medical establishments.

Looking at Mary Jo Perry's Facebook page, she has two pictures of Trump and RFK, Jr., up at the top, and her posts are a mixture of religious and political zealotry.

7,000-8,000 people are bitten by snakes in the U.S. every year. I wonder if Ms. Perry is one of them.

Antivenom has common and serious side effects. How do you people feel about that those antibodies?

It’s astounding how insane Mississippi seems (I lived there from 1994 - 2014,) having been gone a decade. I’m old enough to remember when the serious anti-vax idiots were all hippie leftists who got their advice from Jenny McCarthy. Ten years later, and you people have gone off the deep fucking end. Alleged “red state conservatives” falling into line with Brain Worm Kennedy…all to be in a fucking cult.

And I voted McDaniel (twice) in 2014, BTW.

Unless there were a bunch of Alex Jones/QAnon MFers I knew about 10 years ago, lots of you people have lost your fucking minds. This comments thread looks populated by the J6 Prison Choir.

Good Lord, what a bunch of dumb fucks. Y’all seriously deserve Tuberville or Herschel Walker for a senator, that’s how stupid this is.

Arsenic? That is some high-quality hallucinatory bullshit there........

I'm 70 yrs old & grew up in Nowhere Mississippi & Alabama & personally know five people who contracted Polio. None were vaccinated. A parent couldn't possibly be so stupid as to not have their children vaccinated...But after reading some the posts here I dunno...

I just noticed the comments with a hardcore political flavor ended at 5:15 p.m. I guess someone put in a few minutes of overtime.

Now that the election is over, will there be layoffs? Or will the election industry keep the trolls on payroll?

8:55 take one hour to research arsenic and myelitis symptoms and you might hallucinate- cross reference with pesticides and you would see the fact that many cases defined as “poliomyelitis were the result of arsenic poisoning. Not saying all but many were-

Remember when the build back better clowns didn’t want anything to do with the vax, even the buffoon they wanted to run for president recently was against it, because it was all about Orange Man Bad, then as soon as Potato got in the White House they were licking boots getting vaxxed and became mask Nazi’s?

What is most telling to me is how the loony leftists are screaming at the pious right and disregarding the fact that these diseases are being brought in by the third world invaders swarming in because the left doesn't want border security or rule of law.

Y’all, the Government says it’s all safe and effective. And that’s not just any government, that’s the American government.

The vaccines weren't available until polio in 1958 and the others until I was an adult, My children got through chickpox, mumps and measles because I knew how to properly care for them to make sure they did not have complications. It was intensive, sleep depriving work and the expense of the medical products available at the time. A small pox vaccine was required for every citizen not long after our Revolution. Before that citizens in every town were quarantined when there was a case of those diseases in our community. One room schools and business were sometime shut down. At least we tried to prevent epidemics and deaths. Your notion that the government did nothing is just not true. Some people were so isolated, they never saw anybody outside the family or a one room schools and shops were closed. In one such town in the 1920's , the boy "in school" brought home a case of measles and his sister brought home a case of mumps after going to town for a needed supply and the youngest child got both and died. The entire town shut down until the last child to get sick was was no longer contagious.

As life long remember of what some of you see as " the good old days" I saw how these childhood diseases left children with terrible scars from chicken pox on their faces as well as their bodies. My cousin otherwise handsome face was covered in pox marks as was the face of an otherwise beautiful girl in my high school class. Another beautiful girl went down the halls on crutches. Pneumonia was the most common complication of the childhood diseases. Older boys who got mumps were left sterile. Adults who got these childhood diseases died as well . Some of you need only to go to a cemetery and see the graves of children to have a hint. There are allergic reactions to drugs just as there are to foods. You want to ban wheat or peanuts for everyone because a small group gets sick from eating it? That's what these cases of "bad reactions" to a vaccine are about...anecdotal stories of bad reactions. The one about autism isn't even that since all a smart person has to do is compare the rates of autism in states with high vaccinations rates with that of states with low rates of vaccination. The highest vaccination rate used to be in Minnesota and they had the lowest rate of autism.

You are being conned for political gain. And, worse, you are putting your souls at risk in the process. Shouting that you are Christian isn't being a Christian....it's your behavior and your use of the gifts God gave you to help you make good decisions and how you treat others.
If you want to improve scrutiny of a drug or vaccine before approval I'm with you. If you want to hold big Pharma accountable for bad reporting with strict testing regulations, I'm with you.
What this law does is put innocent children with ignorant parents at risk .And you condemn children whose parents don't want to be bothered to even take them to a doctor because they'd rather do something for themselves with their free time...hunt, fish, hang out at the local bar or something they want for themselves. Everything I just wrote is well documented. It's our history. If you won't find the history in the libraries, I'm writing here. It's passed time for a little humility and the willingness to imagine you could be wrong! In this, I have NO doubts because I lived it.
There are disasterous centuries in history, and in our history, it wasn't always great. IF you really want greatness, you have to learn what worked and what didn't in the past. Benevolence and good use of available knowledge works.

Thanks @10:46a. I was thinking on a response, and decided not to let this ruin my day. You captured my perspective most eloquently.

So many dumb sheeple fall prey to "appeals to authority" but not me. Sorry, not sorry.
