[url]https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/01/11/mark-zuckerberg-angers-anti-vaxxers-with-photo-of-baby-at-doctors-office-getting-vaccinations/[/url] [quote]It is of course another milestone, complete with an “aww”-inducing photo of Max. But this one set the Internet aflame in a way a gingerbread house never could, because this post is not really about Max at all — many see it as her billionaire father showing his hand in the vaccine debate. Many of Zuckerberg’s 47 million-some followers saw the post as a not-so-subtle expression of support for vaccinations, the public health matter at the center of an ongoing debate on modern science and civil liberties. “Thanks for protecting your child, and other children who can’t be vaccinated, and for supporting science!” wrote user Allison Hagood. “Adorable baby.” (A major element of vaccine advocacy is “herd immunity,” which protects an entire community, including those who are not immune, when a critical portion of the population has been immunized.) Another user, Elsa Sakz, countered: “Vaccine is poison for human kind. It kills more people than it helps. I wish people don’t take it as an example here.”[/quote] Thoughts, Flood? Try to stay civil, please.

    The cdc states on their website how certain heavy metals have a correlation to autism. The ones saying its genetic have yet to find the gene. There are two sets of vaccines distributed to doctors. One set for people with insurance, another different set for children on Medicaid. Why? There is no full disclosure on the difference between the two. The rates of autism has increased by 252% in the black population in the past 5 years...which population has the highest % of people of Medicaid? Funny isn't it? I've seen first hand the dramatic effects that can happen to children within a week of being vaccinated. Not only does it increase autism rates but it can have effects that music Lyme Disease. It's horrible. If people believe for one second the US gov isn't continuing to experiment on the population of poor here they're in serious denial. This is more than likely the case in all developed countries. The pharmaceutical companies profit as much on vaccines as they do on other medications.
