Vaccines do not cause autism.

Even if they do (which they don't), I'd still rather have an autistic child than a dead child. And vaccines do not cause autism.

So, to preface this opinion post, I am very much pro-vax. I am just anti-covid vaccine due to the way it was handled.

They did not have the chance to fully test everything due to the Emergency Use Authorization. Ok, that's fine. However, the different vaccines also didn't list out the risks like would have been required for any other medications or vaccines.

This is why I am against the covid vaccine. I have a clotting disorder (prothrombin factor II), so it would have been very important for me to know about the clotting risk before getting the vaccines. I got the initial two doses, and that's it. After those two doses was when the clotting risks started to get leaked and reduced my trust in the covid vaccines.

You should read about every medication and vaccine you put in your body before you put it into your body. Understand the risks, and weigh them against the benefits. In this case I couldn't do so, and in the process was risking an awful lot. My doctors won't even let me have the normal dose of estradiol patches due to this, and I was expected to take a vaccine that increased that risk without being able to know it was doing so?

And that's why I am anti-covid vaccine. I will not get another dose until a version without this risk comes out (which will likely be when a traditional vaccine comes out). Again, this doesn't mean I am anti-vax. I am just against this specific vaccine.

You seriously need to stop spreading misinformation and making these outrageous claims. They are rooted in pseudoscience, and what you’re saying is harmful to everyone, including yourself. Being a system requires high levels of dissociation, which is the result of trauma, and not even everyone with trauma develops that disorder. Most people claiming to be endo are either putting that label because they don’t consider their trauma severe enough to have a dissociative disorder (which is sad and rooted in misinformation), confusing their symptoms with another mental health disorder, or blatantly faking it. Promoting endogenic as normal strays people away from true recovery. I hope you eventually realize what you are doing is wrong. You most likely are genuinely ill, but this is wrong. If you are gonna have these medically incorrect views, you must keep it to yourself.

Pseudoscience, you say?

Do you... actually comprehend the gravity of the accusations you're making here?

Again, these are the quotes from Transgender Mental Health, a book by a reputable doctor that passed both peer and editorial review to be published by the American Psychiatric Association.

Your position here, then, is that the American Psychiatric Association is publishing pseudoscience!

This is a MASSIVE accusation to put out there with no evidence to back up your claims.

Additionally, the World Health Organization's ICD-11 has also basically said the same in regards to non-disordered plurality. Only, rather than use the term plural, it says that you can experience the presence of multiple "distinct personality states" without a disorder.

"Distinct personality states" being the ICD-11 and DSM-5's term for dissociative identities.

Is this pseudoscience as well in your opinion?

Because last time a group were accusing the World Health Organization of pseudoscience, they were trying convince people to not take their COVID shots!

Just re-upping this given the news about the measles outbreak in unvaccinated Texas.

[puddlellama]

vaccinations and immunisations are good. they help. they protect people. if you are able, you should be vaccinated. not just for yourself, but for immunocompromised or disabled people around you who are at higher risk of serious illness if they catch a disease off of you.

get vaccinated. vaccinate your kids.

wow a post vaccine baby is no joke! Haha I'm in danger dot gif.....

I know that I've mentioned several times how I had to go through a period of relearning once I got out of the religious environment in which I'd been raised, and like... A lot of the things I had to research and learn about all over again were fairly obvious, like climate change. My parents and teachers told me that man-made climate change wasn't real, so I believed them. Once I got to college, I realized that I'd been misled, and I had to relearn the whole topic.

But not all of these things were obvious! I went through this period where I didn't even know what part of my education I should be questioning. Like... what do I even research?? Do I actually understand weather? What about history?

One of the reasons I bring up history is because one of the things my parents told me wasn't real was radiocarbon dating. And I don't just mean "well, these are estimations, can't be used for precise dates, and might be somewhat off due to atmospheric conditions." I got the whole "well, this is unprovable* and goes against the history the Bible gives us so you shouldn't trust carbon dating at all."

(*I was taught that anything that wasn't like... observable in real-time was not provable.)

Let's just say... a lot of my childhood was adults around me hedging their bets like "I'm not saying this is fake, I'm just saying it can't be proven and they're asking us to take this hypothesis as fact! I'm just saying you should question things! And not believe those liberal scientists!"

(carbon dating, evolution, the big bang/quantum physics, whether humans and dinosaurs coexisted, climate change, how hiv works, etc.)

And uhhh I went into archaeology (among other things) when I first started college, so you can imagine how this impeded my studies. lmao

idk, I guess I'm not going anywhere in particular with this. I was just listening to a podcast that's currently talking about the paleolithic period and I still had a gut instinctual reaction of "well, you don't know these things are that old" that I had to squash like a fucking bug.

I definitely understand exactly how the "it's good to be curious and read sources critically" to "question everyone, especially experts" to "those liberal scientists are trying to trick you" to "fake news!!" pipeline comes about. ;;

[notaclassicist]

idk maybe it is for some people but pointing these statistics isn't typically for the main purpose of making fun of the victims of the diseases necessarily, it's more for the purpose of pointing out the blatant misinformation and indoctrination of the trump administration

and i don't blame people for being frustrated with anti vaxxers due to the danger they present to others, including their kids, and due to the consequences of their political decisions. sure these people aren't the root cause of the anti vax belief and sure indoctrination exists but these are adults who should be taking responsibility for themselves and for their children. as a citizen of this nation and of the world it is your duty to educate yourself, especially in the age of the internet.

i understand it's extremely difficult for those living in conservative towns who have been raised on such "values" to break out of that belief system, and i have empathy towards these people. at the same time, it's very difficult to have patience for a demographic of adults who have access to the information they need with a simple google search, especially when their willful ignorance and dogmatic, servile thinking results in something like this happening to innocent children -- and, indeed, to those in their communities who didn't want this to happen.

in the end i feel what is appropriate is not an air of ridicule or moral condemnation but of extreme disappointment, hurt and betrayal on the behalf of the human race.

No parent deserves having to bury their own children, so for fucks sakes vaccinate them!

[rennnnee]

I'm spending a week in my grandmas house and I knew she was generally anti modern medicine and vaccines but talking to her I found out she's also anti abortion and organ transplants and birth control so now I'm kinda uncomfortable about it, but now we changed topics and we're making jam so it's avoided for now.

Help.

Why Is Trump Picking Pro Big Pharma Covid Jabs And Mask Mandate Tyrants, Like New Surgeon General Dr Janette Nesheiwat? Why Do Vance, Vivek, & Musk Own Hundreds of mRNA Factories?

WHY IS TRUMP PICKING A PRO A BIG PHARMA COVID MRNA JABS TYRANT, AS SURGEON GENERAL? Trump’s new Surgeon General pick Dr Janette Nesheiwat was in favor of mask mandates in schools, and a big pro-vaxxer who wanted to “quickly vaccinate” 12-15 yo kids. https://twitter.com/ContactVVR/status/1860141376941490539 WHY DID TRUMP PICK A PRO COVID MANDATE BIG PHARMA SHILL FOR SURGEON GENERAL? Why is…

I got my vaccins today, so I wanted to bring up the covid vaccins problem again. Here's what i wrote in one of the covid videos:

-

"This doesn't explain why I had to take covid vaccins every few months, instead of every few years like other vaccines. I've had 3 covid shots already in the span of one year! 3 shots in one year is crazy. And still the doctors keeps telling me to get more and more every few months. How many more do we gotta do? There's something wrong if the vaccines can't even protect you properly, that you gotta get several every few months...

This is the main reason people are against it. People are not stupid and shouldn't be treated as stupid. Most of us know vaccins work (or at least are suppose to...) Because even pro-vacciners like me find a problem with it.

Imagine if you suddenly have to take 3 shots of measils every year, people will find that weird. It's a normal reaction to have. It's not "stupid" or "ignorant".

[homewardskies]

I didn't realize this needed to be said, but uhh

If you are a Nazi, you have no place in paganism.

(Or anywhere, actually 🙂)

And to clarify (since ya'll need that, apparently), that includes people who are transphobic, homophobic, pro-eugenics (i.e. social darwinism anti-vaxxer people), anti-immigrant, racist, etc.

Ya'll don't belong here, paganism is not a safe place for you, and I don't want you interacting with my blog.

No TERFS, no conservatives, none of it. Freedom and equality for all.

Andrew Wakefield has blood on his hands.

I know a few anti-vaxxers. They are infuriating. I tried to explain to them why they are wrong. They refuse to listen. Immunology was one of the courses I studied for my degree, I know how the immune system works far better than people whose education stopped in high school.

Vaccines work. Vaccines save lives. The only reason that smallpox is extinct rather than still rampaging through our communities is because of vaccines. If Wakefield never released his falsified study, we would have wiped out Measles, Mumps & Rubella by at the very latest 2015. Every death caused by those diseases since 2015 is on Wakefield's hands. That's before getting into deaths caused by other vaccine preventable illnesses.

I think there is something particularly horrible about antivaxxers who are 30+ and absolutely 100% fully vaccinated (because their parents and grandparents lived through too much shit to turn down ways to keep their kids alive) and who have benefited from those vaccines for decades, only to turn around and deny their children those same protections and risk them getting life changing and potentially fatal illnesses that they will NEVER be impacted by as a vaccinated person.

This is in incoherent rant, I'm just extremely bitter.

Reliable Sources

Anti-vaxxers: I'm having a hard time to find reliable sources about the dangers of the vaccine. There is a lot of information on Facebook and Reddit but i can't find any reliable sources about it. The mainstream media won't tell you the truth about it. Everyone is lying to you about what is actually in the vaccine because of big pharma.

Flat-earthers: I'm having a hard time finding any reliable sources about flat earth, I have a group chat with all the info but no credible source. The mainstream science sources won't tell the truth about it and still continue to claim it is round. Everyone is lying to you about the moon landing. NASA is part of the illuminati

Pro-Hamas leftists: I'm having a hard time finding reliable source about the genocide in Gaza. I saw a Tik-Tok video about it and heard about it a rally but can't find any credible sources. The western media won't tell the truth about it - they keep saying it isn't a genocide and that Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7th, murdering, raping and kidnapping innocent civilians. I'm sure they are lying about that because jews control the media.
