All the more reason to build your natural immunity and avoid things like vaccines that don't work

All the more reason to build your natural immunity and avoid things like vaccines that don't work

True. Sadly, this is getting more difficult the more food production is industrialized. With animals being raised in factory conditions and showered with antibiotics, we are getting these into our systems even if we buy what seems to be natural food.

I avoided all pills for years, but needed the yellow card vaccines for work insurance MRSA, bacteria..not virus??

I am not sure, I avoided SARS and covid then got hit by a contemporary soil mycobacteria during covid, 14mths of targeted A,B treatment. I never heard of it before, been in the lung for years, Had no choice but take the AB's. Not back to the no more no more. A.B, Anti biotics are dished out by GP's more willingly than macker dishes out disgusting french fries. (am I allowed to print that?), discussion on vaccines is a misdirection. You got a sore throat doc gives A.B's etc etc. MRSA got nought to do with virus vaxes, heat healthy, we all know the 3xX, 4.5xy+10x yr favorite, exercise and healthy environment + 20x yr favourite (still cannot find the smiley emojit)

Perhaps if doctors didn't give out antibiotics for everything we wouldn't have a problem.

Avoid the COVID vaccines for starters !

Vaccines are a choice between not getting the disease and perhaps getting it. Where did the medical science come up with the idea that vaccines are not good? Why is it bad to get one? Vaccines are good enough for me to take. Anyone remember polio?

That makes absolutely no sense, antibiotics are what gives the edge so people can survive otherwise lethal infections, there is no way to "build" the immunity by getting any of those.

Not to mention that vaccines definitely work, the problem is that there is no vaccine for many of the infections.

True. Sadly, this is getting more difficult the more food production is industrialized

The problem with antibiotics in agriculture is not that you get a dose, but that the bacteria develop resistance so the antibiotics are no longer effective.

Avoid the COVID vaccines for starters !

So you can guarantee worse outcomes and immune problems? the recommendation makes no sense, it brings no benefit.

This makes absolutely no sense because antibiotics are not vaccines.

In no part of the text you quote it says antibiotics are vaccines, the nonsense you criticize comes only from what you wrote, not anybody else.

It's elementary medicine--antibiotics are not vaccines,

It's elementary medicine--antibiotics are not vaccines,

Again, you contradict your own claim, nobody buy you have said this.

Still claiming antibiotics are vaccines?!?!?!?

Okkkk... says alot.

Except you.

Except nobody, this is something you made up to criticize, easily proved when you failed to indicate where anybody ever said this.

Accusing posters of having another account is against the rules.

Harassing people in exactly the same way as an account that was banned is against the rules, specially when you already know the consequences and still do it anyway. Being so obvious about it is what shows you are doing it on purpose to taunt the moderation, saying this is not against the rules.

You build up your natural immunity by not taking anti-biotics for every little thing.

Vaccines are good enough for me to take. Anyone remember polio?

I remember the Cutter incident: Subsequent investigations revealed that the vaccine, manufactured by the California-based family firm of Cutter Laboratories, had caused 40 000 cases of polio, leaving 200 children with varying degrees of paralysis and killing 10.
