If 99.9% is good enough.......

Greetings,

As I was listening to the Robert Scott Bell show today on gcnlive.com I started thinking about what does the CDC say for a percentage that vaccines are safe or effective.

As far as safety goes, they say their completely safe but efficacy ranges from 85-90%.   vaccines.gov say 90-100% of the time but are effective.

We hear that benefits far outweigh any risks.  We also hear that thousands of lives are saved as a result of vaccines & that reactions are far & few between.   I think VAERS shows that reactions are not far & few between.  They are much more common than they want us to believe.   The children that are injured or died after receiving a vaccine are not acceptable casualties for the sake of the vaccine program.

So is 99.9% good enough for you?  Some would say yes.

If you are someone who would say yes, then consider the facts below that I found in a newspaper from many years ago.

If 99.9% is good enough then -

12 newborns will be given to the wrong parents daily
114,500 mismatched pairs of shoes will be shipped/year
18,322 pieces of mail will be mishandled/hour
2,000,000 documents will be lost by the IRS this year  (in the form of crashed hard drives?)
2.5 million books will be shipped with the wrong covers
2 planes landing at Chicago O'Hare airport will be unsafe every day
315 entries in Webster's Dictionary will be misspelled
20,000 incorrect drug prescriptions will be written this year
880,000 credit cards in circulation will turn to have incorrect cardholder info on their magnetic strips
103,260 income tax returns will be processed incorrectly this year
5.5 million cases of soft drinks will be flat
291 pacemaker operations will be performed incorrectly
3,056 copies of tomorrow's Wall Street Journal will be missing one of 3 sections
A typical day would be 24 hours long (give or take 86.4 seconds)



Now, after reading that info is 99.9% still good enough for you?

In my eyes it's a resounding no.

Until next time,

Lori

  1. WOW! This is definitely an eye opener. No, 99.9% is not good enough for me, which is why my kids are 100% vax free :)
