They are working in most of cases, media loves to take the 0.1% of cases where people get hurt and turn it upside down.

family guy just did ep on this.

id say sure, they work. but then again, im a conspiracy theorist.

I can see some people having a bad reaction to certain vaccines, but I would imagine it to be pretty rare.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Do you really want to die from a disease we can cure almost 100% of the time?

I feel like dying from a disease is worse than getting injured by a vaccine( in rare cases )

I bet you anything it's suspended in a dihydrogen monoxide solutiom, and you know I'm sure how many people die from that horrible shit.

what the hell is dihydrogen monoxide. in my 4 years in chemistry classes i never learned about that.

The "mercury" used in some vaccines is actually "thiomersal". Mercury is a single element, while thiomersal is a more complex molecule. Here's a visual of thiomersal for you.

thimerosal is definitely toxic in relatively low doses.

So the government created measles in the ninth century so they could sell a vaccine 1,000+ years later?

they did cause the Lyme Disease outbreak after all. did they create it? maybe not, but they definitely released it. intentionally or unintentionally.

I would love to hear how this happened. Please do share.

Easy to say when you've survived to adulthood due to your vaccines.

So you're ok with vaccines without thiomersal?

And how do you know that it is "definitely toxic in relatively low doses" and what is relatively low?
