BySky PalmaPosted on April 4, 2018
As someone who keeps a fairly close eye on internet quackery, this Tuesday marks the first time Ive ever come across Brittany Karas content. After watching a video mashup of her put together by a pro-vaccine Facebook page, I had to double-check to make sure what I was viewing wasnt satire. As far as I can tell, Kara is the real deal.
According to her bio on Amazon, Kara is an author, certified master NLP practitioner (go ahead and google that), hypnotherapist, nutrition coach, and mother. The bio adds that she specializes in teaching people how to detoxify their lives through cleansing and super foods. She also specializes in spewing some of the most bizarre anti-vaxxer rhetoric Ive seen yet.
In an edited video posted by The Real Truther, Kara offers a never-before-heard theory on why vaccines are bad: God didnt give any hint of them in the bible.
I just decided to just google what the bible says about vaccines, Kara says at the outset of the video.
Theres nothing in the bible that talks about vaccines.
According to her theory, if God is all knowing, why isnt there any inkling of talk [in the bible] about these things called vaccinations coming into being later to save people?
If that was really Gods plan and theyre so amazing, then why isnt it in there at all?

One of the more ridiculous claims is that a trained practitioner can cure your
nearsightedness by talking to you, "in as little as one session".
She's certified!
More like certifiably insane ...
Also not in the bible.

"And lo did'st they pursue the Israelite's unto the shores of the Red Sea, where they were held up by a mighty whirlwind of fire, and the general said, :Hey! Otis! Drive back and hitch up to that water tank near the garage, willya? And Otis did'th comply, because that's the kind of dude he was, putting his F-150 into low to climb the grade out of the valley."

(937 posts)I seldom come across anti-Vaxxers as I try to steer clear. When I do, I always ask them to think about the fact that any body of water they swim in could infect them with polio. Blank stares are all I have ever received in return. Polio has not been eradicated. It still exists.

(5,436 posts)'vaccines are not mentioned in the Bible so avoid them' irrelevant and mega-stupid.
Then again, if you think the Second Amendment applies to weapons that can kill 50 people in a short time, then you will believe anything.
Can't fix stupid, but you can call it out.
