32. Psuedoscience Kills

1) No one actually knows what causes Guillain Barre. Well, short of Zika. It's been confirmed that one will cause it. It usually appears days or weeks after a respiratory or digestive tract infection, which can be viral or bacterial.

It isn't the vaccine additives itself causing it if GB is caused by the infection- it's the VIRUS. Viruses routinely re-write our DNA, in fact, 8% of human DNA is viral dna that inserted itself into our code. It's *suspected* that the virus or infection rewrites the code enough that the immune system doesn't recognize your own cells. As you can get GB multiple ways other than vaccines and one gender (and ethnicity) is more affected than the other, this hints again at an underlying genetic susceptibility.

2) Your comment on European vaccinations is dead wrong. http://www.eurosurveillance.org/ViewArticle.aspx?ArticleId=20183

"In total 15 countries do not have any mandatory vaccinations; the remaining 14 have at least one mandatory vaccination included in their programme. Vaccination against polio is mandatory for both children and adults in 12 countries; diphtheria and tetanus vaccination in 11 countries and hepatitis B vaccination in 10 countries. For eight of the 15 vaccines considered, some countries have a mixed strategy of recommended and mandatory vaccinations. Mandatory vaccination may be considered as a way of improving compliance to vaccination programmes. However, compliance with many programmes in Europe is high, using only recommendations"

Most people are not afraid to travel to Europe because they are protected by Herd Immunity, which I mentioned earlier. Compliance is high. The herd is protected. In place where there isn't enough participation for herd immunity, breakouts of serious, life threatening diseases occur. We've seen it here in the US

3) "I don't see why you don't think this number can be improved" Don't put words in my mouth. It's not nice. Nor is it smart. You've done it several times now and I'm not obligated to stay polite if you keep that crap up.

I'm all for improving vaccines. That means recognizing REAL science and building upon a foundation of testing, observation and now, genetic/epigenetic analysis. Kneeejerk reactions to scary sounding things that are found naturally in the body doesn't help anyone, let alone medical science.

What you are peddling is killing people.
