ABOUT WIRED
WIRED is where tomorrow is realized. Through thought-provoking stories and videos, WIRED explores the future of business, innovation, and culture.
For anyone who believes vaccines aren’t safe simply because they’re not “natural”, let me remind you that Uranium-238 is 100% natural…and it’s RADIOACTIVE. ☢️ Just because something is “natural” doesn’t automatically mean it’s safe. ☠️
Your argument is dumb.
I’ve met too many people who scream about “vaccines” and “toxins!”, while having tattoos and botox injected on a regular basis.
This man has had enough of all the stupid people.
My father caught polio as a young adult during the last big UK outbreak in the 1940s before a vaccine was available. I worked in a small organisation and in my department of four people, two of us had a parent disabled by polio. Anecdote is not data but even so, polio is a thing of the past in the UK.
This man is emotionally intelligent. “Fears are real.” They are. We need to speak to people on their emotional level. Facts have very little to do when someone wants to rage. I’m glad for this video.
Aluminium is awesome
1:42 “They count”.. A concept that is utterly and completely lost on MAGAts, in all aspects, and all regards
We didn’t “crawl out of the ocean.” As one example, the flu vaccine has very low efficacy. What a perfect pick for UPENN. I’m 67 years old, had the flu exactly 3 times and never once did I have a flu shot. People promoting vaccines are evil.
People who deny the efficacy of vaccines are evil
Flu is a little different and there are good reasons not to get it. The flu is evolving rapidly and scientists try to guess wich direction. They have to make a new one every year basicly. In can be less effective because of this. For risk groups it still can be beneficial.
People still die of the flu, they just can’t comment on the internet.
Other vaccines like smallpox are a totally different story. It is very effective with extremely! rare side effects. It has been done now for almost 200 years. Here there is no reason not to get it.
I understand that Wired is a US company but I would have loved to see a disclaimer that the dr. is talking about the US schedule and US policy. YouTube isn’t just American…
How can you say ‘there’s nothing good about a natural infection’. That is categorically false.
Did you know that every part of common table salt is half sodium, a tremendously poisonous metal, and half chlorine, a tremendously poisonous gas? We need to get RFK Junior to get these poisonous things out of our food
“Mother Nature has been trying to kill us ever since we crawled out of the ocean onto land.” 😂😂
We must never forget that Wakefield had his own vaccine for measles. He was trying to get the MMR vaccine revoked so that his own vaccine would be the replacement and he could make money off it. It was always a grift.
Regarding the measles outbreak in the late 80s/early 90s: My best friend was one of those people who contracted measles in her 20s. She had been vaccinated. It just didn’t take.
No medical treatment is 100% effective. That’s why vaccination is so important: Not only are there people who cannot be vaccinated who need to be protected with herd immunity, there are also people who didn’t have a robust-enough response to the vaccination and won’t realize it until they get sick.
The people who write and spread disinformation about vaccines should be put on trial for crimes against humanity.
Hero.
Man, I love living in California
isnt this true that newborns only have their mother’s antibodies and start producing their own after 6 months of age. Therefore, any vaccines for them should be given after 6 months of age?
No.
“Children or women, forget about us”
I love this guy
Andrew fxxking Wakefield…..
RFK Jr. being part of the government is one of the craziest fxxking things I’ve ever experienced
