Food for Thought > A Common Sense vaccine statement and a BS one...
Because you had vaccines !!!! - You have vaccines to thank for still being here. Statistically speaking, the likelihood of someone reaching 60 years old without any vaccinations is extremely low - especially if they were born and raised in a country with established public health systems. Why ??? 1. Childhood Mortality Before vaccines, many childhood diseases like measles, diphtheria, whooping cough, polio, smallpox, and tetanus were deadly or caused severe long-term disability. For example: Smallpox killed approximately 300 million people in the 20th century alone before the vaccine was introduced. Measles killed millions worldwide annually before vaccines were introduced in the 1960s. Without vaccines, the likelihood of surviving childhood would drastically drop due to these preventable diseases. 2. Epidemics and Outbreaks Communicable diseases would spread wildly in the absence of vaccines, causing major pandemics and outbreaks with much higher mortality rates. The Spanish flu of 1918, for example, killed an estimated 50 million people globally. Without modern vaccines, society would be regularly crippled by these kinds of deadly diseases. 3. Survival of the Fittest? In the absence of vaccines, populations would be much smaller because of constant waves of disease, and infant mortality rates would be significantly higher. Without vaccines, herd immunity wouldn’t exist, leaving entire populations vulnerable to outbreaks. A child born without vaccines might not make it past childhood because of diseases like measles or whooping cough. Even if they survived childhood, diseases like tuberculosis, pneumonia, and typhoid fever would still claim lives more regularly. 4. Increased Pressure on Healthcare Systems Healthcare systems would have to rely heavily on treating diseases as they occur, without the preventive tools that vaccines provide. Hospitals and doctors would face constant overload, and many diseases that are now preventable or treatable would lead to high mortality rates, especially in older populations. 5. The Role of Natural Immunity In the absence of vaccines, individuals would rely on natural immunity — meaning they would have to be exposed to the diseases and survive them to gain immunity. However, many people would not survive these diseases, and even if they did, they might suffer lifelong complications. In short, without vaccines: Childhood mortality rates would skyrocket, and many individuals would not survive past infancy or early childhood. Outbreaks of diseases would devastate populations, with many not living to old age. By 60, most people would have had to survive multiple life-threatening illnesses, and many would not have made it that far. In a world without vaccines, reaching 60 years old would be incredibly rare, if not almost impossible, because of the high risk of fatal infectious diseases that modern vaccines have largely wiped out. -

Food for Thought > A Common Sense vaccine statement and a BS one...
No... vaccines do not go 'right into' the bloodstream... with the intramuscular injections they go into the muscles and are then 'dispersed through absorption into the bloodstream' which is different... Many of the things we consume get into our blood stream... there's nothing alarming about that. Carbohydrates >> Glucose (sugar) >> Gets into our bloodstream and fuels energy Proteins >> Amino acids >> Gets into our bloodstream and builds tissues Fats >> Fatty acids + glycerol >> Gets into our bloodstream eventually (via lymph) Vitamins >> Individual vitamins >> Gets into our bloodstream Minerals >> Ions (like iron, calcium) >> Gets into our bloodstrea and Erm.. no... thats Heroin !!! -

Accident Foreign National Crashes Car Into Songkran Revellers in Pattaya, Injuring Seven
This is hard one, I agree with both of you. If a person is drunk enough it's probably reasonable to get them off the streets as soon as possible before they get hurt or hurt someone else, no? Same for drunk driving too but the bar is much lower if they're on foot. -
