    Antivaxers' (and quacks') faith in their immune systems to protect them from every pathogenic microbe is so touching. They really seem to believe that if you just eat and do the right things you'll be like Superman, immune to deadly disease. Magical thinking at its most magical!https://twitter.com/Proverbs1_7/status/1037587978674040832 …

    I'd rather take a chance with a childhood disease than the heavy metals, animal DNA, and human DNA in vaccines. We have immune systems that help us fight disease.

        It’s not as if it hasn’t been tried in the centuries where one child in five lived to reach adulthood. We only have #vaccines in use for diseases that have a history of overcoming our immune systems.

        IF you were a good doctor you would know that actually, Yes, the body is very magical. It's amazing how it works. I don't claim to think there is no risk in not vaccinating, but I see a higher risk in vaccinating. Weighing risk and benefit

        How many people have died directly from vaccines vs how many people have died from diseases that we have vaccines for?

        It's cute how they assume the human body is this perfect thing that can't possibly be outdone by the viruses that prey upon us. Because there's no way those could be optimized, right?

        Good thing our immune systems work so well they prevented these terrible diseases from killing us by the continent-load before vaccination, amirite?

        To remind you, about 150 years ago only one child in five reached adulthood. Humanity survived, but over the hundreds of thousands of years (not billions!) humans lived on earth many, many humans - many of them young children - died. #vaccines prevent deaths and harms are rare.
