Outlawing ALL unproven medical practices,

[Eilonnwy]

I just felt that I wanted to amend and add to this list of unproven medical practices.

Vaccines have downsides, and clean water is kinda a misnomer methinks.

People have allergic reactions to vaccines, and that's it. The instances of a vaccine allergy are extremely rare. And let's be honest here, people can have allergies to just about anything. There's no way to produce something that 100% of the population can tolerate, but that fact that it's extremely rare shows how safe vaccines are.

You have more danger dying from a car accident than a vaccine. Do you not use a car? It is absurd to the highest degree when people insist that something that saves millions of lives daily is unsafe when one or two chance cases of vaccine allergy happens. Then these same people that take this extreme position of vaccines being unsafe and questionable then jump into a metal box that kills hundreds of people daily. It really shows the cognitive dissonance there.

The claims that vaccines cause autism, asthma, and all other random diseases is completely false. They tend to be based on the fallacious idea that the mercury in thimerisol poisons you. You get more mercury in your lifetime from fish than a vaccine.

The best medicine is preventative medicine. We have wiped out polio, a debilitating disease. Measles was on the verge of going away but the anti-vaccine wackos managed to convince people and herd immunity is threatened and measles have been making a comeback.

When a parent refuses to vaccinate, not only are they putting their child at risk, but all other children around them too. Not everyone can get vaccines, especially if you're too young. Herd immunity protects infants, people who can't get vaccinated, and people who were vaccinated but didn't build strong antibodies. So, when you have a certain percentage of the populated protected, it creates herd immunity and rids us completely of diseases. Hence vaccines being the best medication in our arsenal and a strong contributer to the longer average life spans we now enjoy.

Any parent that refuses to vaccinate based on false claims is a parasite in my opinion.

As for clean water, people use to drink water they shat in. Without a comprehensive sewage system the water was contaminated by human waste and other toxins. Our sewage and filtration system makes water the cleanest it's ever been so people don't come down with dysentery. Why do you think in third world countries that clean water is such a problem? They wash themselves in the same water they drink, and therefore poison themselves when they drink it.

As I said before, clean water and vaccines have done more for general human health than anything else.
