Antivaxxers are not responsible* for the current pertussis outbreak. In fact, rich countries are! Here's how:

Whooping Cough, also called pertussis is back in a big way in the US right now. Other nations are also seeing outbreaks, particularly 'rich' or 'first world' or 'developed' nations. Wait what? Rich countries are having a bigger increase in whooping cough than countries with limited healthcare infrastructure? You're probably thinking 'ah, it's the antivaxxers, isn't it?' While they're contributing to the problem, but no, they're not in fact THE PROBLEM. In fact, even fully vaccinated people in rich countries are at risk for pertussis. The first thing to understand is that there are two 'generations' of pertussis vaccine available at present. Both are given in combination with tetanus and diphtheria vaccines. As far as I know, tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis are given together in every mainstream formulation of pertussis vaccine globally. The OG (first gen) pertussis vaccine was the DTP vaccine which contains a whole cell inactivated pertussis bacteria so when it is given, the body develops a robust immune response to every antigen (the thing your body can learn to make antibodies to recognise) on the surface of the pertussis bacteria. It is still used in countries where money is tight because it's cheaper to make and the immune response is robust and long-lasting--5-10 years depending on your source. Unfortunately, side effects were higher with the OG. Some children spike high fevers causing febrile seizures (which are terrifying even though they're benign), arm pain is more intense, and people feel worse after getting it. A miniscule number of children given the OG suffer encephalitis and more serious neurological effects, though most cases self-resolve. In rich countries, as the incidence of pertussis (and diphtheria and tetanus) fell with robust vaccination programs, people became more and more afraid of the side effects of the DTP vaccine. Those side effects sound scarier when there's lower risk of pertussis. There were also ever-growing antivaccine movements because since there has been inoculation (a precursor medical practice to vaccination that goes back all the way to ancient China) there have been opponents inoculation and vaccination. Antivaxxers are not new and modern. They have always been there and they were PISSED about the encephalitis. So both antivaxxers and provaxxers who were starting to forget how scary it is to watch a baby with pertussis said 'we need a better option'. This brings us to 2nd gen vaccines, the acellular pertussis vaccines DTaP and Tdap. The little a stands for 'acellular', meaning that there is no longer a whole dead bacteria cell as our antigen. We use specific cut-up antigens instead. Most formulations use 3-5 different antigens. This results in much lower side effects! Immunity without side effects is the goal! The problem is that this vaccine doesn't last as long. In fact, for 0-10 year old children, 98% are immune at 1 year after vaccination while 81% are immune at 5 years after vaccination. For 11-20 year olds, those numbers drop to 72% at one year and 42% at 5 years after vaccination. For people who are older, those numbers drop even faster. And the acellular vaccines aren't as good at preventing infection--they're more like the covid vaccines in that rather than stopping infection, they make the symptoms less bad. And those 3-5 antigens in the acellular vaccine are becoming less common on the surface of the bordatella pertussis bacteria. Yup. It's out-evolving the vaccine. So where does this leave us? 1) Make sure your pertussis vaccine is up to date. This protects you against the effects of a very serious illness. 2) If you have been exposed to pertussis TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT PROPHYLACTIC ANTIBIOTICS. After an hour in a room with someone who has pertussis, if your body doesn't have sufficient immunity there's up to a 90% chance of you getting it and you will be sick for months. This is one of the ONLY CASES EVER where you should be getting prophylactic antibiotics. Usually, I would say do not get prophylactic antibiotics. This is a special case.

3) If a third gen vaccine comes out (many are in development), update your pertussis shot! 4) IF YOU FEEL SICK AND HAVE A COUGH, STAY HOME. If you cannot stay home, then you should wear a well-fitted disposable n95, kn95, or surgical mask (in order of preference) at all times around other people. 5) Mask in crowded public spaces and on airplanes even if you feel well.

Trump voters are more concerned about vaccines than other Americans.

•This effect emerges via Trump voters' greater willingness to believe conspiracies.

•Reading Trump's antivaxx tweets increases vaccination concern among Trump voters.

•Trump's antivaxx tweets did not polarize liberal voters into being more provaxx.

‘Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism’ is Pseudoscience

November 5, 2018

Guest Post: Whyser

You know, I wish provaxxers looked critically at their own studies that they believe to prove their own point.

For example, the idea that vaccines are not associated to [insert your favorite adverse reaction here], is currently not strongly supported by any of available science that I’ve seen.

Let’s take the most popular one of all, that ‘vaccines are not associated to autism’.

If you were to try to support that with studies, you’ll likely be linking study after study that shows:

MMR is not associated to autism

Thimerosal is not associated to autism

Like this one: “Vaccines are not associated with autism: An evidence-based meta-analysis of case-control and cohort studies”, by Luke E. Taylor, published 2014]

Here’s the problem with those studies in terms of design: you’re comparing a vaccinated population vs. a vaccinated population, but using the MMR as a variable.

As an exaggeration, let’s assume the following vaccination histories of the case and control group:

Case Group Hep B x 3 DTaP x 4 Hib x 3 Pneumococcal x 3 Polio x 3 Influenza x 1 Varicella x 1 Hep A x 1 MMR x 1

Control Group Hep B x 3 DTaP x 4 Hib x 3 Pneumococcal x 3 Polio x 3 Influenza x 1 Varicella x 1 Hep A x 1

The only difference being that the case group has been vaccinated for MMR and the control group has not.

When you find that the autism rate between both groups is statistically insignificant, you then conclude that MMR is not associated to autism.

Fair enough, so as long as the PROPER CONTEXT of this conclusion is established, that is, if you’re going to be vaccinating anyways, then the MMR isn’t going to pose any more significant risk.

But for the life of me, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND how people use these studies designed in this manner to conclude that VACCINES are not associated to autism.

You want to attack Exley and Shaw, fine. But if you’re going to do that, you should be just as upset with the multitude of studies that don’t even come CLOSE to answering the question, are vaccines (as a whole) associated to [adverse reaction]?

The vast majority of vaccine safety science is designed similarly to this, so to say that you have science on your side when there are no real studies to support that conclusion shows to me who really believes in pseudoscience.

—

Here is the 2014 meta-analysis: “Vaccines are not associated with autism: An evidence-based meta-analysis of case-control and cohort studies”.

The header image is from that study. This study is supposed to reassure parents. It’s supposed to be the nail in the coffin–‘no stone unturned’, vaccines have been exhaustively and objectively investigated for a relationship to vaccines. And lo and behold, it proves over and over that we have simply failed to do the research.

Here are the tables of studies included in that study that they use to “prove” that “vaccines” do not cause autism. Yet, each and every study only ever looks at MMR or Thimerosal (Hg). How can that be used to explain that ALL VACCINES or ANY VACCINES do not contribute to autism? It doesn’t.

OK, so someone, please tell me how we can draw any conclusions about ALL VACCINES, or ANY vaccines, when we are only looking at ONE vaccine or one ingredient (thimerosal)?

Here’s another study: “Vaccines and Autism: Evidence Does Not Support a Causal Association”  by CDC epidemiologist Frank DeStefano.

The title of the paper uses the word “vaccines”, however the paper only investigates the MMR vaccine and thimerosal, the mercury containing preservative that was used in some vaccines. The conclusion specifically says:

The current scientific evidence does not support a causal association between MMR vaccine or TCVs and autism.

Notice how he doesn’t conclude…”all vaccines,” because it’s literally never been studied.

Vaccine studies routinely lack zero exposed control groups

1. Association Between Estimated Cumulative Vaccine Antigen Exposure Through the First 23 Months of Life and Non–Vaccine Targeted Infections From 24 Through 47 Months of Age, Glanz J, et al. JAMA. 2018; 319(9):906-913. 

Notes: Comparing health outcomes for different ranges of antigen exposure. The lowest antigen exposure reference group is 0-198 antigens.  So, no unvaccinated group. 

2. Vaccines are not associated with autism: an evidence-based meta-analysis of case-control and cohort studies. Taylor L, Swerdfeger A, Eslick G. Vaccine. 2014; 32: 3623-9 

Full study here—->Taylor, et al

Notes: 5 case-control and 5 cohort studies. Studies were included that looked at either MMR vaccination, cumulative mercury (Hg) or cumulative thimerosal dosage from vaccinations.  No individual study had an unvaccinated control reference group.  

3. Patterns of childhood immunization and all-cause mortality. Natalie L. McCarthy, et al. 2017

Full study here —–> McCarthy, et al

Notes: Study compares mortality rates between children following the ACIP recommended vaccine schedule against children considered “undervaccinated” which are children missing at least one dose. Curiously, 3.3% of the “undervaccinated” group received no vaccines but they are not examined distinctly from the “undervaccinated” group.  So, no unvaccinated reference group. 

4. Prenatal and Infant Exposure to Thimerosal From Vaccines and Immunoglobulins and Risk of Autism. Cristofer S. Price, William W. Thompson, et al. 2010

Notes: This study wanted to examine the relationships between prenatal and infant ethylmercury exposure from thimerosal-containing vaccines and or immunoglobulin preparations and ASD, but it forgot to include unvaccinated kids.  No unvaccinated reference group. 

5. Increasing Exposure to Antibody-Stimulating Proteins and Polysaccharides in Vaccines Is Not Associated with Risk of Autism. DeStefano, et al. 2013.

Notes: They tried to evaluate the association between autism and the level of immunologic stimulation received from vaccines administered during the first 2 years of life, but forgot to keep the ZERO exposure group all by itself in its own cute little section. The reference groups are: 0-25 antigens, 0-125 antigens, and 0-311 antigens. And then for an even more sensitive analysis, their reference group for a single day exposure was 0-25 antigens, 0-25 antigens, and 0-100 antigens (compared to kids with 3000-6258 antigens). Sadly, this was another missed opportunity.  No unvaccinated reference group. 

6. Number of antigens in early childhood vaccines and neuropsychological outcomes at age 7-10 years. Iqbal S, et al. 2013

Full Study —-> Iqbal, et al

Notes: They used a publicly available dataset to evaluate the association between antibody-stimulating proteins and polysaccharides from early childhood vaccines and neuropsychological outcomes at age 7-10 years. Lowest exposure reference group is <100.  So, no unvaccinated group. 

7. On-time Vaccine Receipt in the First Year Does Not Adversely Affect Neuropsychological Outcomes. Michael J. Smith 2010

Full Study —–> Smith, et al

Notes: Comparing timely (within 30 days of recommended schedule) to untimely (children who did not meet that criteria).  There is no unvaccinated group. 

8. Analysis of health outcomes in vaccinated and unvaccinated children: Developmental delays, asthma, ear infections and gastrointestinal disorders. Brian S. Hooker, et al. 2020

Notes: This does have an unvaccinated group. This is their findings:

Vaccination before 1 year of age was associated with increased odds of developmental delays (OR = 2.18, 95% CI 1.47–3.24), asthma (OR = 4.49, 95% CI 2.04–9.88) and ear infections (OR = 2.13, 95% CI 1.63–2.78). In a quartile analysis, subjects were grouped by number of vaccine doses received in the first year of life. Higher odds ratios were observed in Quartiles 3 and 4 (where more vaccine doses were received) for all four health conditions considered, as compared to Quartile 1. In a temporal analysis, developmental delays showed a linear increase as the age cut-offs increased from 6 to 12 to 18 to 24 months of age (ORs = 1.95, 2.18, 2.92 and 3.51, respectively). Slightly higher ORs were also observed for all four health conditions when time permitted for a diagnosis was extended from ⩾ 3 years of age to ⩾ 5 years of age.

Conclusion: In this study, which only allowed for the calculation of unadjusted observational associations, higher ORs were observed within the vaccinated versus unvaccinated group for developmental delays, asthma and ear infections. Further study is necessary to understand the full spectrum of health effects associated with childhood vaccination.

Here's a hot take: society isn't one cohesive anthill with one goal and one mind. Neither is any side of a political question. One person saying they think thin people are attractive and another saying thick people are attractive are not in cahoots to oppress you by making love unattainable.

Pro life and prochoice are not two united fronts that coordinate every piece of propaganda. There's a whole spectrum there from people who think miscarriages should be illegal (allegedly, I've never actually seen someone advocate for that) to people who define it as only killing live babies and want that to be illegal, to people who are terrified for women who have been raped or will die during pregnancy, to people who get off on the idea of abortion and get pregnant for the purpose of aborting it (yes I've seen the proof of that extreme.)

Antivaxxers and .. Provaxxers? I don't know if there's an actual name for them, are also a spectrum from "essential oils will cure anything" to "any medical procedure should be consented to only after research and vaccines aren't perfect just like any other medication out there" to "they're the best chance for everyone to live" to "vaccines are holy grails and will never, and have never had any adverse effects whatsoever."

LGBT rights are a spectrum, Race rights are a spectrum, right-left politics are a spectrum.

Why does this matter? Well, for one, you need to know who can be friends and who can have productive discussions. Anyone in the center can have a conversation. Anyone radical and median on one side can have a conversation. But I think it's important to note that radical vs. radical RARELY can have a productive conversation. They will never agree. The only real solution is separation or eradication.

Secondly, going back to societal standards, knowing that there is a million ranges of taste allows you to be the best you that you can be and feel confident in yourself. It also identifies the real problem as corporations and ultra wealthy people who profit off of self hate and social fractions. Nuance is a tool that you have to be aware of to be effective. You have to know when nuance is not helpful and not simply never use it.

Full video in IGTV 📹 Note that both the man reporting in the video, Ben Fellows, and David Knight, who presents it to us, show a certain level of scepticism about the claims. Ben Fellows’ strategy will be to get access to the vaccine and the trials in order that vaccines may be lab-tested independently. Ben Fellows comes from the group www.govote.org.uk and reports on information received from a GlaxoSmithKline whistleblower on what is believed to be some of the ingredients in the vaccine (or one of them) currently being trialled. @sparshsinghofficial @liberatedhitesh @connecting_consciousness @foundconscious @project_knowledge @oldworld_noworld_2.0 @bharat_vidya @school_of_vedic_science @indiancontents @fittuber @saliljamdar @ytengra @friendofman @realeyesofficial @stop5gnow @thetrippyindian @friendofman @abhiandniyu @realeyesofficial @fing_rohan @the_baigan_vines @punia_gameoflife #vaxxeddocumentary #vaxxedmovement #vaxxed💉 #provaxxer #antivaxx #vaccineinjuryadvocate #vaccinekill #vaççineskillandinjure #newworldorderiscoming #agenda21depopulationplan #genocide2020 #silentweaponsforquietwars #newworldordertruth #plandemic #scamdemic #scamdemic2020 #thenewnormal #thenewnormalsnotnormal #5dactivation #thetruthaboutcancer #truthaboutvacciens #londonrealarmy #drrashidbuttar #drbiswarooproychowdhury #wakeupsheeples #censorshipisreal #truthers #plandemicdocumentary #judymikovits #makeorwellfictionagain https://www.instagram.com/p/CBs-QLInd1L/?igshid=1rzmuukgg2yuf
