Designated US President Trump says vaccinations would trigger autism
Autism and vaccinations
Trump literally wrote in a March 2014 tweet: "Healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, does not feel good and changes - AUTISM. Many such cases! "In German: Healthy children go to the doctor, are fully pumped with vaccines and change - autism.
Refuted thesis
This thesis was supported by the English physician Andrew Wakefield in the 1990s. Wakefield linked autism to a common vaccine against mumps, measles and rubella. The vaccination coverage for these diseases fell from 92 to 80 percent in Britain before Wakefield's illusions landed in the scientific garbage can.
Scam
The journal "Lancet" withdrew a contribution to Wakefield's thesis, after it had been convicted of fraud. The charlatan had not even spoken out against vaccination out of deep conviction, but wanted to launch his own "vaccine" on the market. In return he was willing to sacrifice human lives.
Emotions instead of facts
Hillary Clinton made it clear: "The science is clear: the earth is round, the sky is blue and vaccines work." That vaccinations work and the earth is not a disk, but played no role in the election campaign. On the contrary, the less Donald Trump respected facts, the more successful he became.
UFO believers and conspiracy delusion
Thus, the political spectrum in the USA called "Lunatic Fringe" is the most powerful man in the world.
Conspiracy delusion and conspiracy theory of this anti-Algerian claim that the moon landing had not taken place, the FBI concealed aliens who have landed in New Mexico, and reptilian aliens would control us.
Anti-Semites and racists
In the US as in Germany they are not just harmless spinners: anti-Semites claim that Helmut Kohl was a Jew named Enoch Kohn and see Jews with the aliens under a blanket to prepare for world domination; racists claim migration is from the Controlled conspirators. Psychological Manipulation: Brainwashing is the reason why people did not realize that they were being led by Jews, extraterrestrials, or mysterious forces.
Vaccination opponents and Christian right-wing extremists
Vaccination opponents are stronger in the United States than in Germany and romp in a large milieu between fundamentalist Christians who attack evolutionary science and claim that humans and dinosaurs lived together and chauvinist nationalists. Some of the right-wing religious conspiracy fans believed that Obama was in hostage by aliens.
Bible faith versus science
According to a survey by market research institute Harris Interactive in 2010, 29 percent of Republicans believe that Obama is selling America to a world government.
The Protestant extremists mean thereby the rule of the Antichrist, and the beginning of the apocalypse. They "prove" their delusion with references to the Revelation of John.
Civil rights a work of the devil
The "Antichrist" used the "gay lobby" to destroy American families, rights for sexual minorities, blacks and Latinos were a strategy of the devil to gain control of God.
Mike Pence, a representative of these Christian right-wing radicals, is the right-hand man of Donald Trump.
Why are vaccine opponents dangerous?
At the beginning of the 1950s, around 50 million people died each year from smallpox, in other words 30% of all infected people. Those who survived, the blemished scars mostly, or he went blind. Thirty years later, the WHO had completely eradicated the disease - first, secondly and thirdly, through vaccinations.
In 1988 there were still 350,000 cases of polio, in 2008 it was less than 1,700. In Europe there is virtually no polio, the few cases today come from countries where children are not (!) Vaccinated. The cause of the decline were: vaccinations.
Also infectious diseases such as diphtheria or measles were due to vaccinations worldwide. Before global vaccinations, 2.6 million children died annually of measles.
If the vaccination opponents prevailed, millions of people would die again of diseases that keep vaccinations in check.
No arguments against vaccinations
There are no scientific arguments that generally speak against vaccinations. Vaccination has been proven millions of times over, the medical measure that has saved the most human lives globally and throughout history.
The historian Malte Thießen says: "Hardcore vaccination opponents had and have a closed worldview that does not recognize scientific evidence. On the other hand, the larger part of the mere vaccine skeptics compared to the vaccination opponents is driven by fears that are based on the nature of the vaccination. "
Where does the fear of vaccinations come from??
In essence, vaccination means infecting a person with a pathogen in a controlled manner so that it becomes immune to this pathogen in a dangerous form of the same disease.
Medical lay people were skeptical of the method of protecting a healthy person from illness by making him ill.
This is up to the suspicion that the vaccine first triggers the disease.
Accidents at early vaccinations
In addition, there were accidents with early vaccinations: For example, in Lübeck in 1930 77 previously healthy children died in a tuberculosis vaccine.
The "racial body" of the Nazis
Leading Nazis later held vaccinations for body poisoning and an "invention of Jewish doctors" to weaken the "Aryans". The racial ideology of the Nazis counteracted this with hardening by force.
New impetus through profit greed of the pharmaceutical industry
After 1945, the vaccine opponents gained new impetus, because companies that produced vaccines, for example, dramatically exaggerated the extent of polio.
The vaccination opponents appeared to the state as a lackey of the pharmaceutical industry, which would sell at best useless funds, but worse, people poisoned to make profits.
Populist propaganda
Although this mistrust of the state and corporations does not say anything about the effects of vaccines, it is generally justified.
Right-wing populists in the US and Europe are battling mistrust and taking advantage of skepticism about vaccinations to incite "against those up there", Jews, Chinese, Muslims or immigrants.
Anti-Semitic stereotypes
They use an ancient stereotype of the Jewish-oriental doctor who poisoned white Christians and used their blood for magical rituals.
In the Middle Ages, the delusion spread that the Jews had poisoned the wells and thus spread the plague, and they were in league with the devil. The cause of death and anguish sought the contemporaries in a scapegoat.
Hatred of the establishment
In addition, in the US, the hatred of large parts of the population comes to the political establishment. They generally regard the established politicians as puppets of the big corporations.
So they distrust the institutions anyway - why should they trust the authorities just when substances are injected into their bodies??
Are vaccinations dangerous?
A vaccine is not pleasant, and especially in a mandatory vaccine lack of confidence: How should a citizen know if a doctor he does not know injects something into the body of this citizen, that does not hurt him?
The risk-benefit calculation clearly speaks for vaccinations. Only the scientifically clear facts must reach people emotionally. (Dr. Utz Anhalt)
