Malaria
Cholera
Bubomic plague
Scarlet fever
Typhoid
Scurvy
Tuberculosis
None of there diseases where ever eradicated by vaccines…
So what –REALLY– contributed to the elimination of infectious diseases?
- Improved living conditions
- Better sanitation
- Education in good personal hygiene
- Clean drinking water
When new and sophisticated water treatment systems were developed, death rates from diseases dropped
Water contaminated by human feces was the greatest cause of death and disesase… - Access to fresh nutritious foods all year round thansk to: modern transportation and refrigeration
- Improved living quarters – several families living under one roof was commonplace
- Establishment of labor laws – workplaces had no: Health, Safety, Minimum wage, Child labor laws
Death rates from measles and scurvy dropped simultaneously
So, the next time you threaten, harrass or bully me into vaccinating my kids…
I Challenge You…
To vaccinate yourself with every vaccine recommended in the pedriatics immunization schedule…
And go back to a time where there was no clean water and fresh food…
Where there was no garbage pck up or indoor plumbing…
Shut off your running water…
Discontinue the use of indoor plumbing…
Discontinue the use of garbage removal…
Go back to a time where no one practiced good personal hygiene…
So, say goodbye to things like…
- Soap
- Frequent bathing/showering
- Frequent hand washing
And after a year of living in these conditions…
Let me know how effective your vaccines were in “protecting” you!
…bless you…
