Vaccines: What is your position?

[The Lawspeaker]

We have a very balanced system for it (Rijksvaccinatieprogramma) and I trust it. I don't believe that HPV-vaccines are needed but when it comes to the rest: steady as she goes.

My only criticism is that I believe that Hep A. should be included and that the entire exercise is to be repeated between the ages of 20 and 25.

Let's put it this way: denying your children protection against illnesses and endangering society because you think that there is something wrong with vaccines (while there has been test after test after test after test after test and people that believe that have been proven wrong time and time and time and time again) is... selfish. I, personally, don't have any sympathy for such people. None.

I've had every vaccine under the sun, and got the swine flu one twice. I'm still fine, just ask anyone!

I denied most of the vaccinees my GP tried to give me. I am glad that I did actually, now I signed papers that I refuse ANY kind of public health and dental care, I have always visited only private hospitals anyway. I had my vaccines explained very good to me and I've read enough to be educated enough to have this decision for myself. The last one I had was in the private hospital, after a long explanation and by a person my family knows well. Vaccines are a very dangerous thing, just read some studies about it and you will see. I would never visit a public hospital again.

I got the Hep B series from my employer for free. Hep A isn't considered such a threat, so they let it go, I guess.

Well.. flu is different as it mutates so rapidly there is little that can be done. When you catch it: enjoy the ride and in two weeks you'll be feeling better.

Not sure I agree that they're always dangerous.

Your sig is very cool, btw.

Please: stay out of my country and don't come anywhere near it.

Hep A is not as dangerous in the long term. There are no chronic carriers of the Hep A virus, for example. Hep B and C, on the other hand, have severe sequelae, and many people are carriers.

Is it possible to be vaccinated against Hep C ?

Egypt has the highest Hep C infection rate in the world.

Do they have a vaccine for that yet? I'd like to see the pyramids some day.
