Weebooda, do you remember a drug given from 1938 to 1971 called diethylstilboestrol (DES)? It was a drug given to pregnant women to prevent miscarriage. In 1950, a double-blind study was performed that found the drug increased the likelihood of certain cancers in the unborn babies, and also caused rare vaginal tumours. Despite this study, the drug was still given to young girls to prevent growth in puberty, fearing girls would be "too tall". In 1971, it was discovered that the unborn babies of DES mothers were born with severe infertility issues, and developed these rare vaginal tumours. This is when the drug was finally pulled off the shelves.
The point here is, this drug, in its first few years, was deemed completely safe, and 30 years later was found to be toxic and harmful. The mothers who took it were fine, their babies were born appearing to be healthy, but it had debilitating long-term effects.
33 years of this drug...how many cancers could have been prevented? How many of these girls could have avoided those vaginal tumours? How many of these women could have had babies on their own if not for the harmful effects on their uteruses and ovaries? 33 years is a VERY LONG TIME.
This is just one example of a drug thought to be safe but proven years later to have harmful long-term effects. Can you, I, anyone here, or any of the researchers or creators of the swine flu vaccine say with 100% certainty that this vaccine is 100% safe and does not have long-term effects not yet known? No. No one can, and until long-term research is done, I, personally, do not feel this vaccine is safe. I'm not against the vaccine, I just do not trust it right now.
On the other hand, your post is quite offensive. To assume and throw out there that every one of us who will not get the vaccine are trying to push others not to get it is downright uncalled for. YOU, my friend, are the one pushing TO get it. Do not accuse us of doing wrong and doing harm when you are doing the exact thing you're telling us not to do.
You need to read the posts again. I am the mother of a 4 year old girl who was born perfectly healthy. The same week that she had her first vaccine, her brain stopped growing. White matter in her brain is disappearing and we cannot figure out why. We know there is a possibility that she was vaccine-injured. Because of this, I did VERY THOROUGH RESEARCH, beyond your internet reads, pertaining to the ingredients, the effectiveness, the safety, etc of the vaccines given to our children. I have spoken with multiple doctors, whether they be pediatricians, or neurologists or geneticists. Every single one of them agrees there's a possibility of my daughter's condition being a reaction to a vaccine. We can't get our little girl back. We have to watch as this debilitating condition eats away at her brain, and will eventually likely take her life. ALL of her specialists have told us to avoid vaccines for our future children and to stop vaccinating our daughter until we know for sure.
For you to try and tell me that I'm shoving my opinions down others throats and trying to scare them into not getting the vaccine is highly offensive and rude. I have done nothing of the sort, but here you are, scaremongering these poor women, just like the media, into getting it. Way to be a hypocrite.
You should meet my college instructor's sister. She had the vaccine in her first trimester and gave birth to a little boy who was born with such severe allergies, he couldn't even have breastmilk. His bladder and kidneys were deformed. He lived for 63 days on sugar water before he passed away. He didn't have a chance at life. Recent studies have shown that women who receive the vaccine in their first trimester have a higher risk of their babies being born with this severe allergy and organ deformities. Are you going to tell that mother who shares her story that she's scaremongering pregnant women into not getting the vaccine?
All I have done is share my daughter's story. I have shared my research. I have shared my opinion, which, darling, is FACT, that we do not know the long-term effects of this vaccine and therefore, we do not know if it is 100% completely safe. Until long-term research on our unborn and newborn babies has been completed in another 30 years, to make sure the vaccine didn't have long-term debilitating effects, to make sure it didn't increase the incident of certain cancers, or allergies, or diseases, until we know, 30 years from now that these precious babies we carry and love have not been harmed in any way, shape or form from this vaccine, I will continue to share my story, and I will continue to encourage women to research the vaccines and their options prior to being scared into getting it, by doctors, the media, and other women like you, and make their own decision based on their findings.
Next time, word it differently if you don't want to seem like a hypocrite and if you don't want to offend, because I guarantee, I won't be the only one to read your post and become offended by it.
