Tommy Tuberville Exposes Own Ignorance With Wild Vaccine Claim
After meeting with Department of Health and Human Services secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville suddenly believes that babies are the recipients of too many vaccinations.
Well, what I was excited to hear him about is get away from guessing and do facts, do science. Get behind the science and stay with it. Dont be guessing, and thats what a lot of these vaccines have done, Tuberville told reporters, seemingly missing the part where Kennedy is overtly questioning hundreds of thoroughly researched and well-vetted vaccine studies.
If you look at the number of vaccines these young babies get over a short period of time, its dozens and dozens of em, and hes totally against that, Tuberville said.

Those dozens of early-age shots include vaccines for devastating illnesses that the United States, through immunization and its end goal of herd immunity, has largely nixed out of everyday life, such as polio, diphtheria, tetanus, measles, rubella, and chicken pox.

(15,175 posts)I hear a lot of rumors and fear mongering around this idea, lots of wild conjecture, but I haven't seen anything to directly link the vaccine to someone's death.
Have I missed something? Or did I just not see what was never there?

(25,662 posts)...vaccine did not exist. H flu is a nasty bug, causing a number of serious infections with potentially devastating consequences:
From Google:
Meningitis: An inflammation of the membranes that cover the brain and spinal column
Epiglottitis: A life-threatening swelling of the tissue in the throat that covers the windpipe (trachea)
Septicemia: A bloodstream infection
Cellulitis: A skin infection
Pneumonia: A lung infection
Arthritis: An infection of the joints
I've bolded and underlined epiglottitis because the development of the Hib vaccine had a direct, daily impact on the safety of my job as a nurse practitioner. Early symptoms of life threatening epiglottitis are very similar to croup, which is not life-threatening - sore throat and hoarseness.
In epiglottitis, the very act of examining a child's throat can cause the epiglottis (the little trap door that covers the windpipe and keeps food and fluids out of it) to essentially slam shut over the windpipe and keep air out of it. A simple tongue depressor/tongue blade could become an instrument of respiratory obstruction and death.
It was always a scary dilemma to examine a child with hoarseness and a sore throat, and such a relief when the vaccine became available and made it safe to do a thorough exam without fear of causing the airway to be blocked. If it gets blocked, intubation is not possible, and a tracheostomy is needed.
The Hib vaccine was introduced in the mid 1980s, about 10 years into my career. Everyone in pediatrics was thrilled.

(642 posts)How many of these MAGA Representatives and Senators actually get vaccinations?
When Trump got sick from COVID, he had access to the cocktail of drugs that we do not have access.
And Walter Reed did not give him bleach, hydroxychloroquine, or ivermectin.

They tout treatments that themselves do not take.
