Considering that this illness or group of illnesses has been around way before the use of vaccines, I would say that vaccines would not be the cause. It's such a shame that so many people are afraid of vaccines and have been scared by rumor and falsified information. I understand we are just human and easily influenced by scare tactics and rumor but I think if you saw what life was like before vaccines, you wouldn't be so afraid of them. Remember, our life spans are twice what they used to be in just the last 150 years, and that is due to science and modern medicine.
Far as I am aware, the first reprtred "outbreak" of ME/CFS was in 1934?? Amongst Swiss soldiers...what's the bet they had just been vaccinated?
We may live longer today, but 150 years ago, we didn't have the hydrogen bomb and associated world wide dispersal of cancer causing radionucleides from tests/accidents.
we have antibiotics...and sexually malformed kids because of chemicals in the water.
And so on and so forth. Ups and downs.
There was no "Golden Age", I am aware of that, I am really glad we have modern painkillers and central heating and...you get the idea
But I also know we've done terrible damage, monstrously STUPID things *points out window and back in time, to the steelworks close to his house that blanketted him and everyone else in poisons for decades*
when power and money are involved, lies and corruption are absolutely
de rigeur, and sometimes even murder, though rarely directly and "honest" murder, more like, "collateral damage" is a perfectly acceptable "issue" in the lust for profit!
Vaccine industry is worth about $50 billion a year, our governments agreed to idemnify the vaccine corporations against damages...a PERFECT storm of potential greed, and head in sand power structures refusing to admit the shark is biting folks' asses: The Jaws Sydnrome
vaccines have potential huge benefits AND disastrous consequences
going on track record, I wouldn't trust our governments and Big Business further than I can pee upwind in a hurricane
still up to folk to decide for their kids, it is NOT an easy choice.
vaccines do potentially have the ability to eradicate certian viral diseases.
prevention is better than cure
but...so much lies, vested interests....hence as I said, there should be complete divorcement of research from potential abuse and coercion except ethics and legality
