12 Dangerous Things Anti-Vaxxers Believe That Are Actually Child Abuse
2. Science Denial Is Dangerous To Your Health
Anti-vaxxers are a dangerous breed. They promote dangerous ideas and practices via a cult mentality. Their aim is to destroy technologies that have successfully eradicated disease, based on nothing but their own ignorance and turn society back to the Dark Ages. They promote dangerous ideas that are nothing less than child abuse, alongside ideas that can result in fatalities because of their belief in conspiracy theories, pseudoscience and junk. They deny medicine that has improved or saved the lives of millions, in favour of creating their own form of medicine based on outdated ideas, faith and magical thinking. They live in a dream world and it’s time they grow up and admit they’re wrong about the things they aren’t even qualified to speak about.
Big Pharma. Monsanto. The Government. Scientists (but not all scientists, just those who don’t agree). The big evil corporations who run the world in secret and who employ thousands of people with the sole purpose of discrediting your ideas and proving you wrong. The shills on the Internet armed with facts created as a means to cover-up the “Truth” you absolutely know is correct because you know it and you found it and you can never ever f*cking be wrong. Obviously that was me being sarcastic however it does highlight why science deniers will often resort to insulting their critics as a means of providing supporting evidence. They refuse to adhere to the scientific method nor the Burden of Proof because it threatens their beliefs and precious snowflakes love lashing out when their beliefs and fragile egos are threatened.
Anti-vaxxers can’t even be consistent about their belief systems. There is an alarming increase of mothers refusing the Vitamin K shot for their newborn children. The Vitamin K shot is given to newborns as they lack the required amount of Vitamin K in their system often due to a poor transfer of the vitamin across the placenta. A decrease in Vitamin K means an increased risk of intracranial haemorrhaging – bleeding in the brain. Vitamin K comes in two form: K1 and K2, both are organic fat soluble compounds found in food. How much more natural can you get? I thought anti-vax mummies loved natural sh*t?
In anti-vaxxerland, the Vitamin K shot is a terrible idea because of junk science promoted on Natural News stating the Vitamin K shots are linked to childhood leukaemia (although one website promoted the idea the Vitamin K can cure leukaemia). In the same breathe, anti-vaxxers will promote the idea that Amygdalin, a poisonous cyanogenic glycoside (trade name Laetrile - incorrectly referred to as Vitamin B17) found in plants can cure cancer. Amygdalin is a natural compound, it will f*cking kill you in a small dose, but Vitamin K which is also a natural compound, one use as a prevention for internal bleeding and it’s somehow the f*cking devil.
Logic, how does it work?
