This is going to be a heated argument.
A US Anti-vaccine campaigner wanting to come to Aus to give talks and some Dr's want to ban her.
This follow on from the mis representation of an anti Vacciner on a current affair show on the ABC the other night.

Well worth watching. In her own words "I'm not a scientific researcher" And on the youtube link they are saying she
is promoting a range of her own 'goods'. I too am glad to hear both sides to a story but not when one side
is someone like her.
Yes, I found the comments interesting..

In my link at the top, the quote that got me from the anti's was this.
She said we have always been told vaccines are safe, but we have never really explored the other side,
are vaccines unsafe" and then goes on to say the studies are short, inconclusive ...... etc.
That, from a person who admits they do NOT know how to set up a scientific study !!! LOL
Maskall also sells stuff.

These people are dangerous.
The things is, it won't be them who suffer the consequences.

BUT there are NO 2 sides in some cases. 100 years ago people believed that radioactivity is healthy. There were various products sold that contained radioactive ingredients. People went to spas where they bathed in radioactive water. And a.r.s.enic was in medicines and tonics. Women painting radioactive materials on hand of night glowing clocks used to lick the brushes to get a good point, and were dying horrible death. Would you also like to listen to some nutters telling you how good a.r.s.enic & radioactivity are for you to make "educated" decision?
As far as vaccination goes, we all know there are risks, but they are minute comparing to the diseases that vaccination protects you against. Naturally, we will be improving on vaccines, and developing new ways to deliver, and new ways to preserve them and hopefully they will be safer and safer. But people who do not vaccinate are danger to society, and should be dealt with as such.

"As far as vaccination goes, we all know there are risks, but they are minute comparing to the diseases that

The key words are there.
Risks, minimal, protection, important and a high level.
Anasthetic and Surgery have risks but are minute compared to not having surgery.

Prior to the use of varicella vaccine there were about 240,000 cases, 1,500
hospitalisations and approximately 7 deaths each year
from varicella in Australia.
