        Yes, you dumb dumb, I know vaccinations do that. Im saying that our immune system is actually really fucking good and humans did also survive until 40 and up without vaccinations for thousands of years.

        Duh, vaccinations contribute a lot but are not strictly required for survival or a functioning immune system

            I’m not arguing against vaccinations, I hope you realize that. I find it absolutely incredibly what we’ve been able to achieve in illness prevention and even erradication.

            The only thing im trying to say is that we shouldn’t understate how incredible the human immune system is, and saying it can’t function without vaccines is just misinformation.

              You know what would really highlight how amazing the human immune system is, instead of this antivaxxer line of comments?

              How introducing an already dead or greatly weakened form of a disease to it gives it the fore knowledge on how to defeat the real thing in the future.

              Like. A. Vaccine.

          If I gave you a revolver with only 1 bullet out of 5 shots and gave it a spin, would you be willing put it to your head and pull the trigger?

          Because those are actually better odds of survival than the average human faced before vaccines

          The immune system isn’t fool proof.

          As a species yes. But again, 40% were dead before 15. By 40 that percentage was even bigger. So most did not survive to 40 and up.
