Ah, I see. I wasnt sure if you had something specific. Unfortunately for me my experience has shown me otherwise because I think if "I would've gotten sick anyway" it's a very strange coincidence to have only ever gotten sick that one time. It's probably true but I'd rather not take my chances since I'm always very healthy without any extra junk injected into my body.

Yes, I believe vaccinations are real and necessary. I don't want scary viruses to take over plz and thank you. I however rarely get vaccinated towards the flu and stuff though because I don't have the time to. If I lived in a place that had like a pharmacy nearby doing them I'd get them but everything is at least 30 mins away and since I'm nocturnal it's next to impossible.
I thought this thread said do you believe in vacations at first, so I was like O-O
Tbh I don't have much of an opinion, as I seem to do fine without them (My immune system is pretty robust). I'm afraid of needles/getting injected so I've always refused getting vaccinated. I guess they work though otherwise people wouldn't still get them, right?

Yes...please...to not is nonsense.
The thing about vaccines is that it's PREVENTIVE therapy. To the general public, those who never took a course of immunology and are ignorant, it really does not seem like a big deal to have. You can't physically see your antibodies fighting off antigens daily, and creating memory immunologic cells so the immune system has a better chance at fighting off whatever pathogen/antigen quickly when reintroduced.
People go to the doctors and take a medicine and can, for the most part, -feel- a response, or at least see one. That's their indication it works.
However, can we see that (say on this day) our body was able to successfully fight off a terrible respiratory infection? No.
And that is what vaccines do. It's preventative therapy so your body is introduced to an insignificant amount of an antigen, create memory cells, so when you do just in case come in contact with the full blown source of that antigen, your body knows what to do right away.
Vaccines are important, vaccines save lives. You may be healthy, but it saves the weak children, the elderly, the immunocompromised. If a majority are vaccinated, it creates what is called herd immunity where we can at least protect those vulnerable.
The idea that it creates these cancers or autism are all false, the doctor (Dr. Wakefield) who even first published a report of vaccines causing autism had no statical data, no control group, relied on people's memories, and made vague conclusions. Which is why his study was retracted from the Lancet medical journal. Unfortunately the damage was already done to scare the general public.
