Unvaccinated boy nearly died from tetanus. The cost of his care was almost $1 million.

Okay, I’ll rephrase.
Doesn’t that mean you -do- vaccinate?

Wouldn’t that mean you’re not technically an anti-vaxer?

I don’t vaccinate but when my dd needed stitches we went to the hospital and she got a tetanus shot.

I don’t label myself. I’m not a sheep.

The parents! They were told to give him a second shot and they refused! It’s appalling.

Do you mean the parents refused to give him another dose or that the hospital refused to give him another dose?

It’s rather confusing when some people say they don’t vaccinate— because we know parents don’t vaccinate- the clinic’s medical personnel vaccinates kids !

And what’s shocking is that they refused to give him another dose of the vaccine! I guess having to cough up a million bucks and seeing your kid knocking on death’s door and in extreme pain isn’t enough to knock sense into some people...

he had no tetanus toxin in his cultures -- this case was from two yrs ago, and only surfaced due to the climate on vaccies.... this case was clinically diagnosed, not lab verified. Is that scientific or based on the feelings of the doctors?







But no-one talks about the fully vaccinated American girl a year before, who had tetanus which lasted 6 months:

The patient received all her vaccinations in the USA; her last vaccination was 6 years ago. The case was unusual because the patient had received all standard vaccinations, had no defined port of entry at disease onset, and had symptoms lasting for 6 months.

Or the adult with protective tetanus antibody levels:

Why am I not shocked that you’re trying to dismiss this as just pro-van propaganda?
Sorry, it’s indefensible that they refused to take the kid to get a tetanus shot after the accident. He would’ve been spared the pain he went through with that little move.
And your 2 examples are ridiculous. The first case, the woman claimed her last vaccine was given 6 years ago and the guy was 13 years before. The efficacy of the vaccine lowers with time. In fact, it is recommended to get a booster every 10 years. And the woman’s case was already pretty fishy, with no apparent point of entry for the infection and symptoms lasting 6 months.
