If you post incorrect information on a public forum, you can expect to be corrected, and I'm not the only one who has pointed out the inaccuracies in your statements.


My grasp, if you read thoroughly, goes well beyond science. I have also used the principles of logic, ethics, linguistics, and phenomenology in my statements.


For further clarity, informed choice is not a choice based on beliefs. Informed choice is a choice based on present available data. A choice based on feelings is an emotive choice. A choice based on beliefs (whether religious or otherwise) is a faith-based choice. So to disregard data to make a choice based on feelings/beliefs is by definition not an informed choice. If a parent is happy with that, fine. But by definition one cannot say that that is an informed choice.


The belief that science prevents us from knowing our own bodies is totally illogical. One might more readily say that it's an individual's distrust/misunderstanding/preconceptions/etc that prevent the individual from using science to more fully understand his/her own body.


TE44, the statements you've presented herein are circular, specious, and illogical. They do nothing to help parents make choices about immunisations. Indeed, I would say that if your intention was to add credibility to non-immunisation arguments, you have actually done the opposite. Your ability to side-step criticism with redirection is phenomenal. You should have been in politics.

Moving on...


Just out of curiosity, would anyone who didn't immunise their children for fear of adverse reactions, then also refuse them medical drug treatment if their children developed vaccine-preventable diseases (for fear once again of adverse reactions)? I wonder, is it the fear of prophylactic vs therapeutic treatment that causes some parents not to vaccinate? And how could immunisations (or indeed could immunisations) be advanced to allay this fear?

    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
