Antivaxx is a propaganda term designed to dismiss any concerns about vaccines.

There is a shocking lack of long term efficacy studies, and plenty of evidence that vaccines cause harm.

You should be able to ask questions and make the best choice for your family based on evidence. The fact that you cannot is despicable.

From what I understand the anti-vaxxers believe the "adjuvants" (toxic substances added to traditional vaccines to irritate the immune system and kickstart antibody production) are harmful.

But vaxxers say the doses are too small to cause any harm.

I haven't researched it enough to have an opinion.

There are many different arguments, but some of the main ones are:

-vaccine makers have blanket immunity from lawsuits so they do not have an incentive to make vaccines safer

-certain genetic differences make people more susceptible to vaccine injury than others, but vaccine policy does not take this into account

-there are no long term safety studies for lifelong health outcomes and vaccine makers refuse to conduct them

-vaccines contain contaminants and allergens that can cause autoimmune disease or death

The basic idea behind adjuvants is this:

When you use a dead virus in a vaccine, your body will not respond to it because it’s dead.

An adjuvant will irritate your immune system and force an immune response.

However, when vaccines include hundreds of ingredients and contaminants including egg, yeast, soy, or even human tissue, how does your body know what is “causing” the irritation.

Many people believe the skyrocketing rates of autoimmune disease are caused by adjuvants creating an unintended immune reaction.

There is also speculation this led to the rise of peanut allergies in the 90’s. Genetics alone doesn’t explain it, as it happened all at once in many different populations.

No, its inflammatory response to certain foods. Modern day Standard American Diet is complete shit with the amount of gluten and dairy, which are both highly inflammatory. Sugar too, modern diet is filled with so much sugar.

That is why certain diets can cure inflammatory diseases. For instance, if you have arthritis, just go keto or some anti-inflammatory diet.
