Vaccinations down in BVI

There are indications that health professionals are seeing a downturn in the number of parents who are choosing to vaccinate their children in the BVI.

Vaccinations are an effective tool that has prevented many deadly diseases globally. However, it has always been a controversial topic and many people around the world choose not to participate in the process.

Without quoting exact figures, nurse Madalina Jean-Louis from the BVI Health Services Authority said the fresh fears of vaccination that are being seen in the BVI, started during the COVID-19 pandemic. At that time, a massive anti-vaccination campaign ensued globally as many said the vaccines were developed too quickly and would do more long-term harm than good.

“I believe because of the outbreak of the COVID virus, people were afraid and sceptical but if they remember the importance of vaccines — especially the terrible effects that various infections in children can have — then they should forget about what happened (during COVID) and move on,” Jean-Louis stated.

She said parents should note that once children come into the world, they are owed health protection, adding that breast milk and vaccines are the two things babies need.

“The diseases they have to be protected against are deadly,” Nurse Jean-Louis said. She also rebuffed certain myths that are associated with vaccines, such as the belief that vaccines cause some children to develop autism.

She said the myths that push people away are largely a result of the public getting information from unreliable sources.

“People just listen to their friends, neighbours and social media too. But if they listen to reliable sources – like the Ministry of Health – they would get the correct information and myths would be clarified,” the health professional added.

    Whatever answer you want is online. Whether it’s right or wrong is up you. It’s not the oracle many see it as. Before you had to go to the library and spend time looking things up, perhaps even asking a librarian to point you in the right direction. Now you have google. They have your number and know your biases. They want to sell you stuff so their answers will pander to your known interests thus supporting confirmation bias rather than not giving the kind of clear answer most people want. And, if you get far enough into any form of scientific or medical research you’ll inevitably come across paywalls for articles in the peer-reviewed literature. How many doing their research stump up $45 per article? Yet plenty of people say they did their research on vaccines and deem them more dangerous than diseases that have killed millions on the basis of hearsay and case histories.

      and idiots like you believe everything they read on the internet.

      Everyones choices are just amolified by using google as it uses algorithims to take you to the answer that suits your browser history.

        They were unwaxed

      • hoppy says:

        yes, the three had shunned the fourth for getting vac’ed and they all died and only the fourth survived. It was the turning point in getting the belonger population vac’ed. Up until then we were hearing that belongers were immune, that the vac allowed Bill Gates to track persons, that persons were still doing their research (ie reading scare blogs and whatsapp messages written by non-scientists) and all sorts of other stupes reasons for not getting vac’ed.

        • SMH says:

          The world really have you all brain wash. Do you reaaly think the nurses at Peebles would have really saved the unvax? They had to prove a point to show you all that the vax works that the only reason the 1 sibling survived. My heart goes out to that family for the wickness that hospital put them through. Now 2024, most vaccinated people are sick with cancer, heart attach, seizures, you name it all.

  4. The ingredients in the vaccines is not safe for our body says:

    You nurses do not even do your own research to find out why there are so many autism cases around the world. You can not say vaccines are 100% safe. The ingredients in these vaccines are dangerous. Every child is different and their body would react differently. The BVI has not done 1 research of their own to say these vaccines are safe. You guys follow World Health Organization protocols and rules. Look up Holly’s law. Why don’t doctors push herbal medicine? It’s all about pharmaceuticals.

    should be compensation made available to assist those who were perfectly healthy before and became veryill after taking the vaccines.

    I am one who fits that catagory, am now suffering immensely and am in need of constant medical interventions to try to repair ambulatory dysfunctions, severe neuropathy, weakness and others.

    It was the right thing to try to help avert excessive damage and death during the pandemic. The interventions were needed, but they should have been introduced with caution and a better vetted vaccine.

    I personally call on the Minister and government officials to learn about the asrtronomical medical isseus that are rampant through this society and create avenuse for those suffering to receive assistance.

    However, from the feedback i get from my local representative, there seems to be a cold hard heart in helping those in need. One is always redirected to a dead end no help office.

    Most of these vaccines are causing children to get Autism. My daughter and I lives in Nee York. She had a healthy baby girl.No health issues until after she was given her vaccines which caused her to have a seizure.She was later diagnosed with Autism. One minute this child is doing well and the next its seizure after seizure all due to these vaccines. How do we continue filling our children’s bodies with these poisons all in the name of modern medicine. There’s nothing modern of having to care for a child with so msny health issues due to such stupidity. I believe the doctors, pharmaceitical giants and hospitals are cognizant that these medicines arebcausing autism, ADHD, Mental illness amongst our children. However, they sit idly by and to nothing to change the course of history all in the name of making millions of dollars to stuff their pockets. As for my grand-daughter,it has been several trying years,
    lots of hospitalisations and different meds to help her cope with one ailment or another. She has grown into a beautiful, charismatic, funny and loving 16 year old who loves school, music, Church and taking care of animals and people. All this is due to our stedfast prayers, thanks and encouragement, the grace of the Almighty, fast and prayers of family and friends and our comittment to help her learn using unconventional tools. God has been amazing whom without patience and frustration it woukd be daunting.

    In debating the essence of research, it’s crucial to recognize that it extends far beyond simply perusing a peer-reviewed study on vaccine issues. It involves delving into the funding sources behind the research, identifying who stands to benefit, and meticulously tracing the flow of money, as investors often have vested interests in reaping profits.

    It’s imperative for individuals to scrutinize the credibility of their information sources and assess whether they may be compromised.

    Complicating matters further, a significant portion of media outlets are owned by the same investors, creating a potential conflict of interest where negative publicity can directly impact their bottom line. Consequently, alternative perspectives are often suppressed, leading to a divergence of opinions and the potential skewing of statistics.

    The crux of the matter lies in the fact that the true figures and realities often remain elusive. Despite the proliferation of ailments, discerning the root causes and accurate numbers becomes a formidable challenge. Compounding this issue, it’s not uncommon for revelations to surface years later, often through whistleblowers or admissions, disclosing adverse health effects linked to certain vaccine ingredients affecting a significant portion of the population. However, by the time such disclosures come to light, those who have staunchly adhered to prevailing narratives may no longer be present to witness them.

    This underscores the critical importance of not merely dismissing common sense but actively engaging in a comprehensive evaluation of the information landscape, understanding the nuanced interplay of interests, and advocating for transparency and accountability in research endeavors.There are many books on the subject matter explaining what is and what isn’t, serving as guideposts to navigate through the complexities of the information landscape, akin to walking around blindfolded or having your radio tuned to one station.

    (And what is critical thinking)??

    When individuals are primarily funded by sponsors or donors, biases can inevitably arise. In such instances, a blend of common sense and critical thinking becomes invaluable in navigating through potentially skewed perspectives.

    I have colleagues who are local doctors, and unfortunately, I must admit that not a single one of them bothered to educate themselves about the purported “miracle medicine” during the outbreak. Now, it seems no one dares to voice any negative opinions locally about it. Yet, lawsuits, debates in the House of Commons, and legal settlements are actively unfolding worldwide due to the injuries it has caused. What kind of rational, compassionate human being could turn a blind eye to those affected and dismiss their experiences as mere conspiracies? It’s heart-wrenching to witness this indifference, driven perhaps by an unwillingness to confront the possibility of having made a mistake. Instead of acknowledging fallibility, some would rather subject others to the same risk rather than admit the potential erors.

  8. Evidence says:

    overwhelmingly supports vaccination against many diseases and the proof is me. All the vaccinations I received since childhood for yellow fever, measles, cholera, malaria, smallpox, typhoid, tetanus, polio, tuberculosis, diphtheria and finally Covid have never caused me any health problems and I’ve never experienced ANY of those diseases. My WHO International Certificates of Vaccination from the 50’s until now lists every vaccination I’ve ever received in my life. All my relatives and friends who skipped those vaccinations are now dead.

    The simple truth is you must stay healthy from birth for the various vaccines to protect you. Once you become unhealthy vaccines become useless or even harmful. Health is wealth, stay slim, exercise constantly, avoid alcohol, avoid narcotics and eat wholesome food sparingly.

  9. @ Evidence says:

    You are with exceptions. The vaccines you are referring to were manufactured, developed, tested and retested over decades. Regulations were more stringent back then

    When the philosophy switched to immediate and exorbitant gratification of profits, all of that changed.

    Thus, the onset of covid and an opportunity to make billions immediately.

    As a result, medicines in the form of untested vaccines are being sold and of which are maiming and killing people at alarming rates never seen before in the pharmaceutical industry.

    It should be a crime by which people should be tried, convicted and jailed for the medical mal-practice and atrocities committed on the public worldwide.

    Hoping i get better.

      Lots of words but no EVIDENCE. The only atrocity is people like you spreading false information in a public forum. Vaccines saved lives yesterday, today and tomorrow!!! But it’s a free world so you can lead your clueless followers to an early grave so we, the vaccinated, have more time to live, multiply and make money from your medical mistakes.
