Everything You Need to Know (And Forget) About Vaccines

Vaccines have been a pretty hot issue for decades now, and increasingly so with the rollout of the new COVID vaccines. But must they be? What do the detractors say about vaccines, and do their points have any legitimacy? Let's cut through some of them and show how they amount to chemophobia at best, and lies perpetuated from con men at worst. If you are one who has ever lent credence to figures like Andrew Kaufman or Andrew Wakefield, please watch this, as those men and many others are lining their pockets with the lies they've told you. Just 30 minutes of easy-to-understand explanations will help anyone see that, regardless of prior education.

As a parent of a child with Autism, I'm grateful for your simple explanation of the "vaccine causes autism" I'd read up on it upon my son's diagnosis, as people were telling me I'd caused his autism by vaccinating him. The problem is the signs of autism start to appear around the same time certain immunizations are due. It really is sad we have access to more information than ever before, but are too stupid to know what to do with it.

[@iadhdki9535]

It’s unfortunate people were so unkind. All we parents just do the best we can with the information we are given and it’s not our faults that we are lied to by powerful interests . Lots of parents have reversed their kids’ diagnoses of autism with dietary changes and heavy metal detox. Focus on your child’s health first and foremost and watch the symptoms diagnosed as autism disappear! It can be a challenge because so much crap food is engineered to be addictive but it can be done. I know this for certain.

[@chickenspaceprogram]

@@iadhdki9535 As someone with autism, you are wrong. Autism is not something that can be reversed, nor would you want to reverse it. It is a genetic condition that alters the structure and pathways of the brain. Nothing you do will cause or stop the presentation of autism. The reason the symptoms seem to get less with age is that autistic people learn to mask their traits in order to avoid rejection by society. You probably know people with autism and have no idea. As a society we need to stop the stigmatization of autism and other neurodivergent conditions and accept people for who they are.

I don't know if you realize how impactful content like this is, but my s/o had major vaccine hesitancy. I showed them this video and it definitely quelled a lot of those fears they had. So thank you for this.

[@ExternusArmy]

I think vaccine hesitancy is a good thing. Vaccine paranoia is a problem however. Vaccines like any medicine aren’t inherently side effect free and the chief principle of both medicine is benefit vs harm. For instance, we’re not getting vaccinated for cholera bc the benefit is too little compared to the potential harm. It’s not just good but necessary to view things through the lens of benefit-harm weighing. I think it’s a misconception that skepticism is a bad or unscientific thing, it’s a fundamental in performing science on the contrary. Only ideas that can hold their own past skepticism survive which is also why vaccines have survived. The problems arise when people behave irrationally through paranoia and hysteria, not when people are skeptical.

[@SeasemeStreetz]

@@ExternusArmy I don't think anyone is saying all skepticism and all hesitance are negative. They where hesitant to get a vaccine that was and is proven safe and effective. Hence, vaccine hesitancy. Vaccine paranoia is a different animal altogether, like you said. But largely irrelevant to what I was stating above.

[@vegatronld]

I'm spreading this video , I got some friends that need to here it....

[@adamlord3550]

The reason for that is because of how conspiracy theories work. By definition a conspiracy theory cannot be falsified. Therefore, it is impossible to prove a conspiracy theory wrong. You can provide evidence to suggest their outcome is very unlikely, but you really cannot prove them, out right wrong. The same actually applies to a scientific theory. Scientific theories forbid certain elements or aspects. As a result, when scientists conduct research, they aren't trying to support their theory. Let me give you a prime example of what I mean from the one and only James Randy. Imagine that you believe in Santa Claus and we are having a discussion about his existence. You ask me to prove that he doesn't exist. I take you up on that and fly to the North Pole. I look high and low, however, he isn't there. No lapland, no elves, no rain deer and no Santa. I record my observations and come to the conclusion that he is not real. I come back and present you with the evidence supporting the idea that he doesn't exist. Your response is, "well Santa is magic, he simply turned himself and Lapland invisible upon your arrival." That doesn't mean that's what actually happened. But, I can't prove that he didn't just turn invisible. In other words, conspiracies are based on confirmation bias. An individual who believes in a conspiracy theory wants it to be true. They will twist and bend evidence to suit their narrative. If you try to prove a scientific theory by looking for proof of your theory, you run the risk of doing the same. That's why criminal investigations are based purely on the evidence. In reality, criminal investigators will not make up stories based on evidence they will just look at evidence from a surface level. This is because, they run the risk of bending the narrative if they don't. Conspiracy nuts that see this video will make their own explanations for why their view is correct and adhere to confirmation bias.

[@enhaxed7839]

I think occasionally a person who is slipping into the conspiracy theory might find this and have their minds changed. That's all you can hope for. If you're lucky they will go on to help change other people's minds. I can't see any negatives to trying to educate people about these issues. I think it justifies the work PDE put in to create it and is performing a public service by providing accurate information as a counterpoint to the deluge of ignorance on social media.

The coronaviruses simply don't work for vaccinations using the same methods as other vaccines, learned by trial and error what works. So they had to find another way. Maybe comparable to what weight loss/control methods work for a person. It varies.

[@dr.michaellittle5611]

mRNA is a new vaccine technology that has transformed the management of infectious disease. There’s no way that the older methods can compete with the molecular precision and timelines of getting a vaccine into arms. Vaccines for influenza have been produced in fertilized chicken eggs in the past, and it’s a primitive and costly way to go. It takes billions of eggs, for one which must be set aside months prior to influenza season. Once the virus is inoculated in the eggs, all the eggs have to be harvested for virus, and all egg protein and contaminants must be purified away, and the virus inactivated. Despite this, egg proteins have sometimes been present at levels high enough to cause immune reaction in patients. mRNA is here to stay and will replace not only conventional vaccine platforms for infectious disease, but also allows for vaccines against cancer and other conditions.

@@TheHayleydavison I agree with that, but not where the debates around the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic are concerned. Sometimes the scientific community is split down the middle on something. Then I am more than happy to listen to both sides of the argument. Sometimes the scientific community are split over several different views, with each fairly well represented and usually with common ground shared among them. Then I'm very interested in all of those views and look to see where each has merit. But neither of those things are the case with the current "debate". What we have is 99%+ of the scientific community being of one opinion and a fringe factor with opposing views. The likes of Boschee, Cahill, Sunetra Gupta, Coleman etc. When these people come on the radar of COVID-Deniers, lockdown protestors etc, they are instantly elevated within the movement and presented as the "side" of the argument. If on the other hand a scientist's view forms part of consensus view, the vast, vast majority are simply unheard of because what they have to say is unremarkable and therefore there is no-one pointing to them excitedly saying "Listen to what this person has to say". This does not form a debate where views are represented in the ratios in which they are held. All it does is create false equivalence.

In the video, everything points towards SpaceX being cheaper than the Shuttle and in the end, it is a meandering video with a lot of speculation which doesn't really prove any particular point. Yet the takeaway for some of his viewers is "wow... I never knew SpaceX was so bad!" because they are pre-disposed to thinking Thunderf00t is a reliable, unbiased source.

Thanks for all the great info. I do think leaving out the lack of culpability for vaccine manufacturers is a problem as well as the long history of pharmaceutical companies settling lawsuits for false claims and misrepresentation without a single CEO ever going to jail.

[@sainellore6874]

I too agree that vaccine makers should never have been granted blanket immunity against lawsuits (by President Reagan in 1986). Though we vaccinated our daughter in late 90's (with no injuries), my views changed in 2015 when my healthy 7mo old dog died within hours of her 7-in-1 jab. I now dread all needles. I would rather take risk in getting the actual infection/disease naturally and allow our immune system to fight it off organically. My three remaining dogs haven't been to a vet in 8yrs. I pay attention to what I feed them (no processed crap). I am of the firm belief that man will never really be able to fully understand the immune system (because our bodies behave in highly complex ways once we breach the closed-loop system to study the process). I am not anti-science; but I am definitely anti-$cience, funded solely by profiteering mobs of Wall Street. I hope to one day start trusting science without fearing it. At the moment, I am s#it scared of all synthetic drugs and invasive procedures. If I get seriously injured in an accident, I may not have any other choice.

Can we discuss the reason why vaccine manufacturers are indemnified by western governments against law suits from individuals who suffer adverse reactions?

Yeah, aluminum is a neurotoxin and has the ability to cross the blood brain barrier. Considering aluminum is used in many vaccines as the “adjuvant” and the purpose of a adjuvant being a compound that stays in the body for a long time which the antigen binds with so you have a consistent immune response for a long term. Of course, they have done studies to ascertain the toxicity of the dosage of aluminum right? The only study that has been done and cited only tested the toxicity of INGESTED aluminum in adults. They never tested injection toxicity and never did any toxicity tests with children or infants at all. If you seriously try to equate effects of ingestion and injection then you have left the bounds of a scientific conversation.

I have autism and this makes me see red. Autism is by definition is "neuro diverisity" which TLDR means basically you think differently. EVERYONE is on this spectrum, people with autism are just higher on said spectrum. If there was any drug that affected autism, I would have taken it already. The only drugs that affect the brian which is not the way people think, are addictive drugs and neurological poisons. Neuro poisons/venom attack the brain/nervous system and cause it to feel so much pain that you die or causes paralysis. You already know what addictive drugs do so I don't need to explain this. The only known treatment for autism is therapy and attention from loved ones. I am glad you have made this video to show people how absurd these claims are. Thank you very much.

Try following a Keto diet, fat is a better fuel for the brain and take l-glutamine to help increase GABA production, you can also eat various foods to help GABA as well.

I really appreciate the concise point by point way you explain the different aspects of what has needlessly become a controversial topic. My own personal experience has made me a vaccine advocate. When I was young there was a very real chance of catching one of the highly contagious diseases that had killed people for centuries. One of my friends had polio, another diphtheria and both of my parents had tuberculosis. Thus we regarded vaccines as a blessing and got our jabs in school. Out of the hundreds I knew who got multiple vaccinations over the years none suffered any serious side effects and these deadly diseases have been largely wiped out.

Always been pro vax, but seeing how you presented the mRNA vaccine is definitely changing my mind because I was skeptical about the vaccine. I also notice the error I had on the virus and the mask. Not realizing that it’s main transmission was via water droplets (which now I remember seeing but my anti establishment bias probably got in the way of that). What I also didn’t know was how much red tape was removed and now I understand why the vaccine came out so fast. I guess once could argue that the red tape was removed so they can inject microchips in us much faster but even I think that’s a silly argument.

👍The widespread fear that vaccines increase the risk of autism originated from a 1997 study whose author has since lost his medical license. "After the study was published, it came out that the main author had a financial incentive for the study to be published," Slade says. "After more was learned about the study, the other authors removed their names. That study has also been debunked by many other studies that used larger groups of children." The causes of autism and autism spectrum disorders have never been established. But many autism experts are increasingly convinced that autism is determined before birth - well before any vaccinations.

This should be every scientists' dream: Funding, access to tools and personnel, and a nice big pool of patients that you have the green light to study. Except Wakefield didn't do it. Brian Deer, investigative journalist, later figured out exactly how the data was manipulated in the pilot study, and with so many eyes on him now, and such a large patient pool, Wakefield could no longer do that, and knew the study would show the pilot was unfounded, and the media frenzy based on a lie.

So here goes my personal story, read if you want :) I got my second shot of the Moderna vaccine after receiving AstraZeneca for the first. After two days I started having chest pain and my left arm went partially numb. In the hospital blood tests showed a highly elevated troponin level, indicating damage to my heart muscle. The levels went down after 2 days and I did not experience any severe longterm damage, but still experience chest pain when exercising and in stressful situations due to scarring. I don't like to talk about it to friends and colleagues because most either think I'm a antiscience idiot or I find out that they are.

hey dave, welcome back to the comment section. recently i've seen a lot of people saying they don't want to get the vaccines because they haven't been fully approved, they have only been approved for emergency use. what is the best thing to say in response to this argument?

[@cousinparty7266]

I’d list a couple things: 1. They don’t fully know what FDA approval entails. They think a vaccine will get approved the second trials finished, when in reality it takes months or even years after trials to get an approval. 2. EUA is still a form of approval by the FDA, specifically meant for emergency cases like this pandemic (and if they talk about it being a plandemic immediately stop talking to them). It still went through trials and all, but it hasn’t gotten an official license and been added on the vaccine schedule. 3. If they’re one of those “gOvErNmEnT EvIl, DePoPuLaTiOn aGeNdA” people, remind them that it’s the government itself that approves vaccines. 4. A lot of them don’t care about FDA approval. They have a strong bias against the 3 COVID vaccines in the US. If there is fake negative info, they’ll take it. If they’re is real negative info, they’ll also take it. And if you tell them that they’ve finished trials and have been proven safe and effective, they’ll scream “NU UH, LIES, SHILL”. They are expert cherry pickers that latch on to every bit of negative data, true or not. Please let them know about how little they care about FDA approval and that’ll make them feel stupid.

Does immunity start at the barrier of defence? Genuine question. The barrier of defence for a respiratory virus, I believe, is the epithelium in the airways and lungs. If a vax for a respiratory virus bypasses these epithelial cells does it therefore follow a broad and full immunological response to the respiratory vax won't be triggered if injected into muscle. Would there be immunological processes missed if the epithelium were bypassed? Not all viruses are the same and so the responses are not the same. Is this why a lasting _intramuscular_ vaccine against a _respiratory_ virus has never been successful(?) I'm not anti vax by any means.

Retrovirus. When I'm having an argument with someone about the vaccine they bring up how a retrovirus can turn RNA into DNA in order to alter or incorporate itself into your DNA. I watched your Video on HIV hoping to find a more in-depth explanation as to how exactly a retrovirus works so that I could explain how the vaccine can't do that and I did a search for an explanation for a retrovirus and nothing specific came up. I was wondering if the description of a retrovirus "altering your DNA" was a misnomer. So I found external sources that seemed to indicate that a Retrovirus is made of RNA that creates DNA that then incorporates itself into your DNA thus making it appear that the colloquial phrase of "alter your DNA" to be somewhat accurate. The idea of the colloquial phrase "altering your DNA" meaning that it is added to your DNA so that even though the arrangement of the nucleotides has not been altered the entirety of the DNA strand now has additional nucleotides making it longer and thus not identical to the original DNA strand. ​So not meaning "altering your DNA" in the sense of breaking up your original DNA and rearranging the Nucleotides into a different order. Also, the colloquial phrase "altering your DNA" not meaning that the RNA itself directly interacts with your DNA to alter it, but that once inside the host cell it causes a series of actions which result in the hosts DNA being altered in the former sense. I was just wondering if you could do a more in-depth explanation as to how a retrovirus works so as to address how it's impossible for the RNA in the vaccine to not be incorporated into your DNA more specifically, I mean an explanation that could be more detailed as opposed to just stating that the proteins that are needed for RNA to create DNA that is then incorporated into your DNA aren't present in the vaccine. As the foreseen criticism of that response would be that those proteins are so small there is no way for any of us to know for sure that they aren't present since they personally haven't seen the vaccine components for themselves under a microscope. As the people I continue to argue with continue to insist that if a retrovirus can do it, and the vaccine is made of RNA, then therefore it's possible for the vaccine to do it as well. So I apologize if this comment is a waist of your time or if you have already done this explanation at some point.

Wakefield also horribly abused the children during the study, subjecting them to incredibly invasive and traumatic tests, including colonoscopies, which are not recommended for children due to the risk of perforation of the intestinal walls.

Because there isn't enough demand to have them separated. Hospitals and clinics would rather stock the combined version to save on costs and storage space since there would be very few Karens demanding split-up vaccines.

[@Crazy5711]

The long term effects of what? The mRNA vaccine? The mRNA degrades and is eliminated by the body after a few days. We can check for this. Everything else in the vaccine has been used in other vaccines for decades. The only long term effects we don't know about are how long it will be effective for combating Covid-19, and the vanishingly small chance that the vaccine will provoke an immune response to non-covid organisms that use a similar spike protein. This would only be a problem if the non-covid organisms were beneficial to humans, but this is why they have clinical trials. To weed out such issues. Since the immune response only takes at most a couple weeks to completely destroy an organism in the body, any major effects from accidentally killing beneficial bacteria would have been discovered by phase 3 trials at the latest. I just got the moderna shot, and the only thing negative effect so far has been a sore arm for a couple days. I've heard some people develop a low grade fever and other flu like symptoms. These are intentional. They are the vaccine provoking an immune response.
