    As easily preventable diseases like measles spreads among children in Mississippi -- let's take a look at how anti-vaxers caused this fiasco.

    “They’re not the ones who have to tell families their child might have seizures for the rest of their lives, that they may lose their hearing, that they may be developmentally disabled forever, if they survive,” -- Dr. Anita Henderson on measles and other easily preventable diseases.

    To vaccine opponents, a man’s sudden death delivered an unambiguous warning: These injections can kill. But as their claims spread online, experts started raising questions about the story. No, George Watts Jr. did not die from myocarditis caused by vaccination. Another example of anti-vax clowns claiming someone died from the vaccine when they did not -- further inflicting pain on the family.

    I guess the vax will kill you...

    Florida man bludgeons father to death after learning he got 'the vaccine:' Investigators
    https://wchstv.com/news/nation-worl...theorist-beating-wellington-palm-beach-county

    WELLINGTON, Fla. (WPEC) — A Florida man accused of brutally beating and killing his father was upset after learning his dad received "the vaccine," investigators say.

    The 911 caller, who is a friend of the family, described the suspect, Brian Mcgann Jr., as a "delusional conspiracy theorist."

    WPEC asked the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO) what type of vaccine caused the 44-year-old man to become upset with his father.

    The caller told investigators Mcgann Jr. had also recently started "using cocaine."

    According to the arrest report, the woman who placed the 911 call said she could hear the suspect's father, Brian Mcgann Sr., screaming "Stop you are killing me."

    The report from PBSO said the call came in around 11:15 p.m. Sunday when deputies responded to the report of a domestic disturbance on Golden Rod Road.

    Deputies arrived to find Mcgann Sr. had been attacked and was lying unresponsive on the floor of the living room. The elder Mcgann's face was extremely swollen, battered, and bruised had suffered significant injuries to his face, deputies reported, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

    Deputies tracked down the suspect, Mcgann Jr., after following a blood trail from a rear window of the home to a fence, which led them to conclude he had jumped into a neighbor's yard to avoid arrest.

    The suspect's hands were swollen, and he was covered in blood, the report stated, leading investigators to conclude he was the man who killed his father.

    PBSO interviewed the woman who made the 911 call and told deputies that she had been a family friend of the Mcgann's for years, the sheriff's office said.

    She told deputies the younger Mcgann appeared to be intoxicated and paranoid.

    The caller said Mcgann Jr. called her at around 12:58 p.m. and they had a three-hour phone conversation, according to the complaint.

    The woman said Mcgann Jr. called her back at 10:30 p.m. and asked her to pack her belongings and leave the residence because "He was going to be dead." The arrest report said she found the request strange because she lives in Middleburg, Florida.

    At 11:07 p.m. Mcgann Jr. placed another phone call to the woman who said he was pulling into his father's residence, the report said.

    The woman claimed Mcgann Jr. called her again at 11:10 p.m. and she could hear him screaming at his father. The report continues, that the altercation continued to get extremely violent and chaotic.

    She heard Mcgann say, "He is under my foot."

    In the report, the caller said she immediately dialed 911.

    For the past 24 hours we have endured an endless stream of anti-vaxxers posting on social media claiming golfer Grayson Murray died due to the Covid jab. This is typical of the behavior of demented anti-vaxxers every time a celebrity passes recently. The reality is that Grayson died from suicide. Yet the anti-vaxxers were quite content to torment the family with their false claims.

    Let's see what the demented anti-vaxxers are up to now.

    BTW -- Tetanus only kills two people per year in the U.S. because nearly everyone is vaccinated.

    Let's hope none of these MAGA conspiracy anti-vax idiots steps on a rusty nail.


    Anti-Vaxxers Being Super Weird About Tetanus Shots Now
    A new 'that happened' genre has emerged.

    Now that the anti-vaccine crowd has exhausted every possible conspiracy theory about the COVID shot, it seems they’re moving on to a new target — tetanus shots! You know, the thing that prevents you from dying if you step on a rusty nail?

    To be fair, anti-vaxxers and anti-vaccine groups have been spreading misinformation about the tetanus shot since the 1990s, but many of those who only recently converted during COVID are just finding out about it now. And boy, are they are into it!

    Naturally, this has resulted in the increased proliferation of the always popular “Can you believe I’m smarter than my doctor!?!?” social media posts.

    Earlier this month, George Mason University economics professor, anti-education activist and author of The Myth of the Rational Voter Bryan Caplan shared his own experience with a doctor telling him he needed to get a tetanus booster.

    [​IMG]

    “My doctor talked to me like a child when I refused a tetanus booster,” he wrote. “This disease kills about 2 Americans per YEAR!”

    That’s true, and it’s true because people are vaccinated against it. Not because it’s not deadly. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control estimates “that tetanus causes 213,000 [to] 293,000 deaths worldwide each year, and that it is responsible for [five to seven percent[ of all neonatal deaths and [five percent] of maternal deaths globally.” It’s also obviously not the kind of thing where one is protected by herd immunity, because you get it from dirty wounds, not from other people.

    In another posting that went viral, a mom totally owned her doctor by knowing way more about the tetanus shot than her doctor did. Except not!

    Allow me to post the story in its entirety:

    This is a story from a mom who took her child to the emergency room with a cut.

    Doctor: "We're going to give her a tetanus vaccine."
    Mom: "Really? What brand and configuration did you have in mind?"
    Doctor: "Just Tetanus."
    Mom: "You mean the DTaP?"
    Doctor: "Well, yes."
    Mom: "So, you want to give my child a vaccine for 3 diseases when you're only concerned about one?"
    Doctor: "It's the only way it comes." (wrong)
    Mom: "So...how long will it take for the vaccine to help her create antibodies against tetanus?"
    Doctor: "About 3 weeks."
    Mom: "If this wound contains tetanus spores in the correct environment, how long before the spores start producing toxins causing lockjaw then death?"
    Doctor: "Immediately."
    Mom: "So you want to give her a vaccine that she won't mount an immune response with until about a week after she's dead, then?"

    We left without the shot or TiG... Scares me that I have more information than a physician. It should scare you, too.

    That is not what scares me.

    What people are supposed to be getting if they get a tetanus shot is actually a tetanus booster. We’re all supposed to get a series of TDaP shots and boosters as babies/kids — which vaccinate them against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis/whooping cough — and boosters every 10 years once we are adults. We also get a booster if we get a cut that could cause tetanus and it’s been five or more years since we’ve gotten the shot to activate the antibodies that are already in our system.

    Additionally, the booster is not a TDaP shot. It’s TD only, which makes sense because diphtheria is something you get from bacteria. The only reason anyone over the age of six would get a TDaP shot would be if they didn’t have it as a baby.

    You would think this brilliant mom, who is so much smarter than a physician, would know all of this.

    In one video that’s been making the rounds all year, “Dr.” Carrie Madej — who was forced to surrender her medical license last year — makes a variety of wildly untrue claims about tetanus and the TDaP shot. Madej shared that she had been curious since she was a teenager about why people needed to take the tetanus shot every 10 years.

    “I ended up finding out, asking all of my attending physicians and infectious disease experts” she said. “We found out that the reason that they told us back then to take it was that when you are walking out in the yard, you have a rusty nail in your foot, the bacteria called tetanus gets in there and then within minutes to hours, not days or weeks, you could spasm so terribly that you would suffocate to death and fall on the floor and die, like within minutes or hours, which I have never heard of anyone dying that way.”

    “So I have come to find out that is a lie, no one has died that way, nobody in the entire world.”

    Well, of course not, because tetanus doesn’t actually kick in for a few days, up to a few weeks. People don’t die from it immediately, but, as mentioned above, they do die from it.

    “The World Health Organisation and NIH have since 1972 been developing the tetanus vaccine as an abortion or sterilisation vaccine,” Madej claimed in another part of the video. “They have been putting the pregnancy hormone inside the tetanus vaccine, in that vial, and so every time you get it it is a cumulative response.”

    She also claims that only families with private insurance, not Medicare, got the TDaP vaccine, and seems to suggest this was a plot to ensure poor people procreated more than rich people.

    It will shock you to know that this is also not true. The Vaccines for Children program provides all vaccinations at no cost to infants who are on Medicaid.

    Also, while researchers in India in the early 1990s did develop a combination contraceptive/tetanus vaccine, it was only tested on 148 volunteers and then abandoned because it was not very effective.

    That’s it.
