Vaccines can only get government protection from lawsuits if they're on the pediatric immunization schedule. As a result, there's a lot of pressure by pharma companies to get their vaccines on that schedule in order for them to gain liability protection.

>>16172833
Why would the vaccine manufacturers be concerned about getting government protection from lawsuits if the vaccines they were selling weren't harmful?

>>16173143
They are not harmful 99.999% of the time
The problem is the 0.001% of patients who are harmed can shut it all down if they had to be liable, especially for something that is at it's core an elective procedure.

The cult of society deems a small amount of collateral damage as inevitable and preferable to the alternative which is not having these vaccines or having a very reduced uptake.

IMO no one should be harmed for doing the right thing but most of society does not see things that way. Being maimed by a vaccine is just seen as an unfortunate, unavoidable event on the same level as any other accidental death where no one can be considered at fault.

>How does science justify this?
That's not true. I am 50 and have received tens vaccination shots in my life. Most were mandatory (public health service preventive medicine) but I did not oppose them, I welcomed them. The rest were paid out of my own pocket, either because I needed shots for traveling to some corner of the globe, or just to make my life more comfortable: I get the flu vaccine every year, paid out of my own pocket. I hate dealing with the fucking flu, and it's nice to cruise through wintertime without ever dealing with that shit.

Vaccines are always introduced after deaths have already been experiencing a consistent and strong decline. The ongoing downward trend simply continues and then the vaccine is credited for "curing" a disease that was already on its way out thanks to improvements in hygiene and nutrition, removal of environmental toxins, and other factors that reduce incidence of illness. The vaccines aren't actually doing anything if you look at the data instead of the headlines.

https://dissolvingillusions.com/graphs-images/#Charts

>>16175851
This only really shows people were less likely to out right die, but doesn't necessarily disprove whether the number of measles cases didn't decrease with the vaccine. You for example might not necessarily die from polio but can still end up crippled by it, so this data doesn't tell the full story.

>>16174723

Another point is many of the data he uses here are for bacterial infections, which of course had reduced deaths prior to the vaccine due to being treatable with anti-biotics (though you still run the risk of long term side effects). His data on the measles vaccine however shows a clear decline in measles rates after its introduction, thus obviously the vaccine was working in preventing the rate at which people caught it.

>>16175873
The incidence rates do go down, but there's another problem: overlapping diagnoses. Lots of illnesses have similar or even identical symptoms and there's a lot left up to personal interpretation by the doctors. Measles and smallpox are two of the best examples of this because measles, mumps, smallpox, and chickenpox all have the SAME symptoms. So what happens when you think a patient has measles, mumps, or smallpox but you see in their medical history they've been vaccinated for those? Must be chickenpox! And if they're too old for chickenpox or they've already had chickenpox before? Oh, now it's shingles. Smallpox and measles didn't get eradicated by vaccination, they got eradicated by not being diagnosed. We made many other improvements that make those conditions no longer life-threatening and practically routine to manage, then we started lumping one disease in with another on the assumption that the vaccines must work so it must be a different disease causing these identical symptoms. It has nothing to do with the effectiveness of vaccines.

>>16175893
I don't think you can just put it down to that when the decline very clearly occurs just as the vaccine is introduced, not much will have changed in the year or so between its introduction and the clear dip.
Shingles is definitely not the same as chickenpox either, thats an absurd claim. The symptoms are vastly different beyond the fact that they cause blotching.

>>16172743
better to be smart and insane than dumb and learning

>>16175902
>I don't think you can just put it down to that when the decline very clearly occurs just as the vaccine is introduced
All it takes is convincing the doctors that the vaccine is effective. If they "know" that a child is immune to measles due to vaccination they're going to rule out that diagnosis and attribute it to another illness with enough overlapping symptoms. It's a simple logical conclusion to not diagnose a patient with an illness you know they can't get. The vaccines don't have to actually work, there just have to be other available explanations for doctors to fall back on in the diagnosis process.

Every vaccine literally injures your body physically and into the future given tbey contain heavy metals and other contaminates.

The safest vaccine in the world is the yellow fever vaccine.
Usually made close to on the spot, never stored long periods, attenuated LIVE virus, NO ADJUVANTS AT ALL.

It's the most effective and has almost zero recorded side effects in all of it's history.
All other shots are purposely poisonous for whatever reason you can guess.

For the discussion.
Heavy metals are bad, but ALL ADJUVANTS literally train the body to have immune reactions to a wide spread of things that are in your body at time of injection or enter shortly thereafter.

This is why autoimmune is thru the roof. There is literal DNA in some of these shots as well as genetic portions from animals.
Your body is being trained against those proteins.

adjuvants just trigger a inflammatory reaction which increase the efficency of the adaptative immune response + allows to generate immune memory. It is needed for an efficent vaccination. Yes, if you have autoreactive lymphocites they will maybe be triggered by the inflammation (maybe), but any next inflammation that you will have could have triggered it.

It has nothing to do with vaccination and everything to do with hygiene and diet. Though, the lack of vaccination does cause the reverse of what I talked about in >>16175921 and >>16188494. Someone who's not vaccinated for measles can be diagnosed with measles, and their lack of vaccination will be blamed for their illness. No one will be diagnosed with smallpox regardless of personal vaccination status, though, because that one was declared to be globally eradicated so it's fully off the table in the mind of any diagnosing physicians.

>>16208090
To be fair, when insurance companies pay for things like this it's out of a genuine belief that preventive vaccines will prevent more serious and costly illnesses from appearing. Insurance companies have to pay when you receive medical care and they'd much rather you get some cheap/free (for them) shots than have to kick in payment on a multi-day hospital stay. It's worth paying providers a few thousand extra dollars if you genuinely believe it will save the company hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars by keeping patients from getting seriously ill. Note also that this is specifically Medicaid coverage, which is a type of coverage that pays 100% on EVERYTHING because it's for poor people on government assistance. There won't even be a deductible or copays or coinsurance to put on the member, if they get sick the Medicaid plan pays it all up to the agreed Medicaid rates.

Not that guy but healthcare insurance is one of the most insured businesses out there. Healthcare insurance doesn't really lose out if the populous is sick except when you just look at cases on individual basis. So long as they can keep uninsured hospital bills high enough to discourage people going entirely uninsured then the sicker the populous is the greater the profits are because you can charge more from a customer base that's sicker and more afraid than a healthy and secure one. It's not exactly a secret that medical insurance is extremely profitable in american despite it being nominally one of the sickest countries (at least when measured by amount of health services required, not by like tuberculosis rate e.g. the kind of sick that counts for insurer when paying bills) and the country with by far the highest costs for health services. Operating under normal logic insuring should be bad there but it just isn't because medical insurance doesn't operate with the standard framework where people may opt out like with insuring your collectible artisan jimmy buffet statuets. You are going to insure yourself because without it you will be financially ruined from 15 minute ambulance ride for some reason and insurers can simply raise prices until profits are sufficiently high.
This is just looking at the underlying capitalist model without taking into account things like mandated insurance and government bailouts of course which just skew the entire thing in favor of the insurer.

Basically greed isn't a very strong argument why insurance company wouldn't try to harm you. That being said it's probably not that they are trying to harm you, instead they are likely being paid by the government per referral or something, keeping some of the cash while the people actually paying are trying to harm you and those guys operate on tax money.

>>16210145
His point is moot as insurance companies shouldn't have hidden agendas to push certain kinds of treatments. At least with preauthorized treatments they are open and forward.

They're government subsidized, they make money when someone goes to the hospital. its a zero risk business, they only make profits.

>>16211063
No, they SPEND money when someone goes to the hospital. Insurance companies have an incentive to keep people healthy. The more healthy every member is, the lower the overall risk. The lower the overall risk, the more competitive they can make their plan premiums and the more likely that they'll make more money than they spend. Insurance is all about making a bet that it will be used infrequently enough to cover the costs of the times when it is used.

>>16211426

car insurance companies don't get direct government subsidies and they don't have guaranteed profits

>>16226015
Insurance companies only get subsidies for government programs (Medicare and Medicaid) and those subsidies are all per-enrollee, not per-hospitalization. For each Medicare or Medicaid enrollee the insurance company gets a set amount of money each month, just like they get a set monthly premium payment from each enrollee on a commercial plan. This is because Medicare and Medicaid are funded by taxes (and in the case of Medicare, enrollees pay monthly premiums for Part B already to Social Security). The insurance company is still paying insurance claims and they still have to balance the benefits and plan pricing based on risk and healthcare costs so they don't lose money in the long run. This fantasy of yours that insurance companies make money off of hospitalizations is just flat-out wrong, it's entirely in the interest of every insurance company to promote preventive care to keep their members healthy so that they don't need as much diagnostic medical care that the insurance company takes a much bigger hit paying for.

Insurance companies win when their members don't need to use the insurance (no claims to pay out, but still making money from the premiums or the per-enrollee subsidies), which is also why they're willing to pay out at 100% for preventive care and even spend a lot of money on marketing that encourages members to get said preventive care. That's because paying for an annual wellness visit, a few screenings, and a couple shots is a lot cheaper than paying for a hospitalization if someone ends up with a preventable illness due to lack of vaccination or lack of screening for early detection. Do you think an insurance company is better off paying for an outpatient surgery to remove a cancerous mass immediately after it forms or paying for months or years of cancer treatment if that cancer isn't caught soon enough? Seriously, just think about the financial math behind that.

Now, let's apply that logic with the cancer treatment to vaccines. I'll go ahead and say I don't personally think vaccines are good and I don't take them or advocate for them, just to be clear here. But the fact is that most people do believe vaccines are positive preventive care and that they're good for the health of the population. That's why insurance companies are willing to pay out some money to incentivize people to get those vaccines. I agree that in the long run all of this DOES enrich pharmaceutical companies and there IS a massive profit motive for them, but they're able to get away with it because they've genuinely convinced people at every level of society that vaccines are good for people. It's not some nefarious scheme to intentionally injure people by injecting them with poison, it's a misplaced sense of trust in vaccines preventing illness. The insurance companies want people to get vaccinated because they believe that will keep people healthy and save the company money on more expensive medical care.

After all, which is the better financial outcome: Paying a couple hundred bucks per person for them to get a covid shot, or paying tens of thousands of dollars for each of those people to end up in the hospital for a week and nearly die? I don't personally agree that's what will happen (in fact the only people I know who've had covid have been people who got the vax), but you can see why someone would choose the former option if they genuinely believed in covid vaccines (or vaccines in general) being an effective means to prevent serious illness.

tl;dr - Insurance companies aren't the boogieman you think they are. Their means of maximizing profit is by reducing the cost of healthcare, it's the hospitals and doctors that make money off of increasing the price of healthcare treatments and getting more patients to undergo various treatments.

The profit motivations of healthcare providers and health insurance companies are diametrically opposed and the insurance companies' interests are more in line with the patients' than the providers' interests are. Both patients and insurance companies benefit from low healthcare costs and fewer healthcare services while hospitals and doctors benefit from high healthcare costs and more frequent healthcare services.

So much for this being a tl;dr, but my autism compels me to summarize it all.

It does it by holding the parents' taxes hostage, everyone has to pay property tax which funds local public educational institutions, but you don't get to receive the value of the taxes you pay unless you inject your child with the pharma lobbyist's profitable poisons

I personally wouldn't subscribe to what you just wrote. The reasons why I wouldn't are the following ones: You assume insurance companies to operate independently from both the medical industrial complex and from the financial sector more generally, which I doubt. If we treat the medical industry as a complex of industrial enterprises intimately linked to the financial sector, the fusion of the two allows for easy capturing of insurance companies by pharmaceutical figures. This, in fact, happens. Banks and hedgefunds are weirdly present in medical settings, especially via the tons of NGOs and charities they set up. What it means for your entire insurance policy to be captured can be clearly seen, for example, in the case of the US-American health care system, where insurance companies routinely bill abhorrent prices for very basic treatment plans. According to you, this would be impossible because any insurance company would put an end to this. However, this has been going on for decades now.
It's clear that health insurance companies don't operate independently. They're simply an extension of the financial sector, and the executives sitting there themselves profit from funneling as much money as possible from the tax payer to the companies since these insurance companies don't actually pay "with their money".
Your argument, applied to the FDA (as an example), would cause me to arrive at the similarly wrong conclusion that the FDA cannot possibly be captured by pharmaceutical enterprises because of an obvious lack of financial incentives. Similarly, your argument, applied to academic settings, would not allow the latter to be captured by pharmaceutical enterprises, yet that's what's happening.

Again, from the perspective of those responsible for distributing, printing and regulating money, money is nothing but a social construction that they can manipulate as they see fit. It's, in fact, people's weird attachment to money that makes them blind to how the financial sector actually operates. Money is a fetishized commodity, a thing, that in itself has no value, but represents something of value. You can arbitrarily increase or decrease the worth of your money by changing whatever convention has been put in place. For example, the value of a dollar bill can depend on the value of gold or silver. Now, we know that hasn't been the case anymore for a long time so its value doesn't even rest on it being linked to any kind of physical substance whose quanitty cannot be arbitrarily increased or decreased.
Concordingly, whatever policy is now put in place in regards to money, can cause millions of people to go bankrupt etc.

Poor babies. Luckily all my kids are unvaccinated, except the older one that got the covid one once because of peer pressure.

No. Vaccines cause permanent allergies to milk, peanuts, pollen and more because the adjuvants are priming the body to react to something and it is often the wrong thing.

Vaccines would become safer if the corporations that profit massively from producing them didn't have blanket immunity from legal responsibility for the side effects.

>>16175893
Am I stupid or when vaccines were implemented didn't the data set grow, say by whatever-fold took the vaccine? Would this be a higher and thus more accurate number? Be interesting to know the sample size in the graph.

>>16176889
To be fair, there "could" be mercury in a vaccine, I think this one of the points of anti-vaxxers although this applies to food, water and pretty much everything in this wonderful little world. Like melamine in infant formula in China. Makes ya wonder

If the medical industry has healthy people the cost of medical treatment becomes a shovel and bouquet. Insurance seems to be dependent on long term treatments. I've seen it with my own eyes. Insurance companies do not "foot the bill" this is non sense. Even if you're a hospital employee janitor or doctor you foot the fucking bill. Almost put in the poor house along with family because they only paid something shy of 40 percent. We were low middle class. Den of snakes. This was health insurance plan from a hospital BTW. Thanks for nothing

If you were born before 1996 you've inhaled toxic amounts of lead everyday of your life.
The young are much much more capable than the old.
The old are pushing these shots because there is a major flaw in vaccinology that will eliminate the profit margin so the retards are grabbing their bags and running at the expense of the next generation.
Lead brain demons.

>Insurance companies do not "foot the bill" this is non sense.
You pay your coinsurance on each claim until you reach your maximum out of pocket (usually in the $8k to $10k range) and then you pay 0% for the rest of the year.
>This was health insurance plan from a hospital BTW.
Sounds like a scam and not actual health insurance.

Theres a lot of retarded college children on /sci/ who think they know everything about all sorts of topics and their knowledge all comes watching stupid lies on TV and from lies they learned in school. They have daddy to pay all their bills for them so they like to presume everything is free because that lessens the burden of gratitude they have to feel towards daddy. Once (if ever) they end up footing the bill for their own expenses reality eventually bites them in the ass.

Insurance is based on fear no matter the type. So is the heathcare industry. Instead of directly helping people with expensive problems they attempt to perpetuate fear in everyone to lower that cost for the individual.
