Quoted from High_End_Pins:

I have a 17 year old son that is both severely autistic and Type 1 diabetic.
We have to count carbs and injection insulin at every meal give him a shower and wipe his ass. We have to hold his hand everywhere we go and lock all the doors so he can’t get out. He spends his day rocking back and forth chanting the names of local streets.
I am not anti vaccine as a result but I am cautious. You have understand sometimes people experience things that shake their confidence in something because they are living it whether it seems rational or not it is about personal life experiences and what ifs after the fact.
True or false,right or wrong doesn’t matter it those experiences that is what shapes our beliefs.

I can relate to this at least partially. My daughter was diagnosed with type1 diabetes at 8 months old. She developed a fever after getting shots and got severely dehydrated and almost died. When they figured it out her blood glucose was 1200. Coincidence? Don’t know. I know for sure that anything that hurts them hurts us 1000 times more. Very sorry to hear about your son Chris. I can only imagine how tough that must be.

Quoted from fosaisu:

Too much variance would be my guess -- too many strains and too much mutation for a vaccine to be successful. Vaccines work better on the more static varieties like M,M, and R.
Now here's my advice, if you want to make money don't waste your time in cold and flu. Too hard and if you're successful they'll make you give it away for peanuts, like the flu shot. What you want to be treating are illnesses of the rich - one good cure for fatness or baldness and you've made your billions.

Or a pilll that makes your old limp dick hard again. That shit is expensive.

Quoted from RonSS:

^
Why do so many people not finish their prescription? I know someone that has a "stash" and will take them for only 3-4 days.
Great, thanks for creating super resistant germs!

My family does this too and it drives me insane. My son gets staff all the time because he plays football and wrestles and he is in locker rooms and gyms. He takes the meds till it starts to heal then stops and it often comes back. I tell him to take the mess till they are gone and he doesn’t listen.

Quoted from Wickerman2:

Annual public service announcement:
80,000 Americans killed last year:

Just get the shot pinside conspiracy theorists!

While I was to lazy to read this I have a very hard time believing that 80K people died from the flue.

I cant believe you people think this shit is ok. They have no right to make you get vaccinated. Its just like fucking commie New York to pull that BS.

#777 4 years ago
Quoted from albummydavis:

Normally, I’d tend to side with you, but
Not in this instance. In this case you have a sect of Hasidic Jews endangering the health of people they live around and interact with, not just themselves. I’m a fierce advocate of religious freedom, but how would you feel if your kid got sick or died because one group felt they shouldn’t take this very successful measles vaccine. I believe an Israeli airline attendant died for this very reason. No one should have the right to endanger others, religious beliefs or not.

See, I don't see where you are endangering others. The vaccine is available. If you want it get it then you are not endangered by me not getting it even if I were to get the disease. I, for one do not trust the government in any form or fashion at any level. They are no different than Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, or any other socialist or communist regime. I refuse to put anything in my body that the government tells me I have to.

#808 4 years ago
Quoted from Rager170:

Lol, that will never ever happen here in the USA.

Bullshit. Just look at some of the things the government has done to people. People in Other countries never thought those things would happen to them but it did, in most cases a little at a time. How about some “ common sense gun control”. Nazi Germany did that. Venezuela did that. Look what happened to them. Never trust the government

How is it science. They want you to have them, It makes big pharma money, so they tell you “ of course they are ok. We wouldn’t harm you, we love you.”. Then they hide the truth and show you some bogus facts. Kind of like we are all going to die in 10 years because of global warming if we don’t submit to the green new deal. It’s a agenda like everything else.

#835 4 years ago
Quoted from o-din:

Then I'll just get it all done at once.
Flu shot, tracking chip implanted in my head, and bar code branded onto my forearm. Might as well have them install all the cameras in my house the same afternoon.
Am I missing any?

Death to the New World Order.

Quoted from o-din:

I'm 57 and still haven't ever had my rectum probed.

You know, now days you could remedy that quite easily.

#848 4 years ago

I got shingles in my 30s. It was a spot about the size of a baseball on my shoulder. It looked really weird but it was by far the most painful thing that ever happened to me. It was just raw pain. Clothes were painful. Showering was painful. I went to a Dr and begged him to let me in. He looked at it and said: “by god you are the youngest person I have ever seen with shingles. You are in for quite a ride”. It lasted a month if I remember correctly

Quoted from DRDAVE:

Next you'll be telling us that our government fluoride program isn't because they love us so much as to put a topical treatment into our water supply to have whiter teeth?

Bingo

#877 4 years ago
Quoted from o-din:

I'm just going to cut to the chase. I was a medical guinea pig when I was a child, some that left permanent damage, and they aint going to fk with me any more.

Oooohhhh, so that is what happened.

#925 4 years ago
Quoted from hAbO:

I love to hear all the hysteria and paranoia about vaccines. Its crazy how anti science the world has got - anti-vaccers, climate change deniers, flat earthers etc. I get how someone can think "Well, no one has contracted polio for a while" or "I feel fine and no Doc is injecting me with some concoction" People probably felt the same about germs after they discovered them.

Well if we are all gonna die in 10 years anyway then who cares if we get sick and die.

#934 4 years ago

You can make it a goddamn law if you want to and that just makes me hate and mistrust government more. I wont do it. Ill figure something out.

#937 4 years ago
Quoted from o-din:

Tell that to the medical profession that continues to prescribe antibiotics that are useless against viruses anytime someone has the flu or other viral illnesses.
Instead of forcing vaccinations, that should be a much higher priority, but they are doing absolutely nothing about it.

Americans want a pill to solve their problems. They have a headache, they take a pill even though they are bad for their liver. They are fat, they want a pill or a stomach staple instead of going to the gym. Whatever. My wife insists that my kids go to the DR when they get sick. Get a antibiotic regardless of what it is and usually the doc in a box gives them one. They take it for a few days and then don't take them anymore. Or, she will give them something that is left over. I throw them all away to prevent that. They just don't get it.

#987 4 years ago
Quoted from TheLaw:

Oh if that's the case I don't know why they make them wait so long! I'd roll it right into the OG baby shots if possible.

If condoms are used HPV is not a problem. Since STD are pretty much rampant I would never go scuba diving without a wetsuit

#991 4 years ago
Quoted from TheLaw:

You have a daughter and a grandaughter right? What happens if the bad men raped them? You'd want them protected from cancer.
I mean, I sure as shit do.
EDIT: Too "far out?" OK how aboot when your daughter's piece of shit husband cheated on her? What if she ended up getting cancer becasue that rat bastard went behind her back?

Well you got me there

#1026 4 years ago
Quoted from dnapac:

Just to play devils advocate...for those that don’t want vaccines...why do you go to the doctor and want drugs when you get the illness?

I don’t unless it’s something very serious

#1037 4 years ago

What happened to the modified olive oil that was the basis for the movie Lorenzo’s oil. Wasn’t that for MS? I remember it did something to heal the myelin sheath around the nerves.

Quoted from DRDAVE:

I've found it best to do what Oprah and Ellen and the rest of the unholywood elite advise me to do:

Yes, everyone should listen to the elites in Hollywood and the government and do what they say, especially Oprah.

#1048 4 years ago

Not much chance of that.

#1119 4 years ago
Quoted from Who-Dey:

I bet the gubberment must think we are really dumb!

We are really dumb. Take a look around and see what is going on and no matter what you see or how bad it is you have seen only a small percentage. We should all be up in arms but we sit and do nothing. We should be like Hong Kong.

#1120 4 years ago
Quoted from Rager170:

Unfortunately the shingles vaccine is only 51% effective.
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/shingles/public/zostavax/index.html

If I wasn't 100% against vaccines except for obviously the ones diseases that will kill I would say get the shingles vaccine. Nothing in my life has ever hurt me like shingles did and it was just a baseball sized spot on my shoulder. I was only like 28-30. It hurt to shower or wear clothes. Shit it hurt when the wind blew on it. Nothing made the pain go away, Drs wouldn't give me anything.

#1123 4 years ago

There were times when no one was around and I hit it on something that I wanted to cry like a little bitch.

#1129 4 years ago
Quoted from DRDAVE:

True "science" is never settled. We are always learning and always changing what we believed to be settled science over the years.

Ill play but give me examples. I don't usually go to the Dr unless Im dying. For example, have you ever had a anal fissure? Gross yes but you will pay double to make it go away.

#1137 4 years ago

The point was that we should be angry and fighting what is going on not sitting by passively sitting around.

#1143 4 years ago

I do the same thing. I cop a buzz and laugh at how stupid all the stuff on tv is.
That’s what happens when your kids are gone and you wife is a teacher and falls asleep at 9 because she has to get up at 5

[quoted image]

And the mods say the shit I post is offensive.That is disturbing.

#1253 4 years ago
Quoted from o-din:

I have a similar outlook.
A guy I went to school with who was very smart suggested we take my car out on the local golf course late at night and do donuts around the greens. It sounded like fun so I went along with it. Little did I know we would get arrested and spend the night in jail. I guess if I was smarter, I would have not thought that was such a great idea in the first place.

You make this site worth coming to. We would definitely get in trouble if we got together.

#1279 4 years ago

I just saw this

#1312 4 years ago
Quoted from o-din:

Here's some irony in the American way of thinking and doing things.
There has been an outbreak of norovirus at the senior home where my mom is. I stopped by the front desk to drop off her medication this morning and everybody is wearing masks and they would not let anybody, myself included go any further than that not even to see my mother. But later in the afternoon they call me to come over and calm her down when she got a little riled up over something.
So which is it? We have a deadly outbreak here and we are trying to contain it, or we don't care if you get sick and spread it to the outside world as long as you can calm your mother down.

So did you get yours yet? With 1000 dead, shouldn't you be worried?

Here’s the deal. They just want to keep it quiet. They don’t give a shit of thousands of people die they just want it to not cause a stink. The U.N. has said that in order to attain their goals thousands and thousands of people need to die each day.
As far as the polio article goes, I saw it and posted it after I read it quickly thinking someone might find it interesting. I didn’t have the chance to read further into it. I just posted it in passing not trying to prove or disprove anything.

#1315 4 years ago
Quoted from PinballNewb:

I’d be interested in learning more about this. Can you cite your reference?

Ok, not being an ass here but, I deleted the search where I found this and I would have to do it again. I know I was looking up a incident where the UN took over a building in Utah and they told people that the building was now a UN compound and the constitution didn't apply. Also since my opinions are highly doubted here it would probably be better if you looked it up yourself. Disprove what I said if you want, I don't care. I and others here know what the UN and other orgs like it are but no matter what we say it wont change the minds of people who disagree

Quoted from loneacer:

They have some reasonable ideas.

As long as it isn't you or yours that gets dusted in the snap, huh.

Quoted from Pinfactory2000:

I'm literally the opposite. I'm openly admitting that scientists and Doctors know more than me.
You on the other hand...

Just because they know more than me doesn't mean they are telling me the truth or that they even know what they are doing. The scientists who worked on the atomic bomb didnt know what they were creating. They were just working on what they were told to work on by the GOVERNMENT.

#1556 4 years ago
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:

O-din just likes to troll, you are wasting your time. This is what he does in every thread.

O-din is awesome.He is one of the few who sees it how it truly is. He isn't WOKE like most.

#1561 4 years ago
Quoted from Pinfactory2000:

yeah but be honest....you are the type of guy who also falls for things like pizzagate, deep state, chemtrails and aliens right?

#1564 4 years ago

How many times has it come up where drug companies and other companies straight up lie about their product and its effects figuring the profit they make will vastly offset the lawsuits. Where are the scientists coming forward to say that the product is flawed or has bad effects. most care about the bottom line, themselves. Oh, and Epstein didnt kill himself
