France is Mecca for anti-vax movement

[mrswdk]

A recent survey has found that French people loathe vaccinating their children against deadly diseases, and also reject 'science and technology' because they are worried that robots will steal all their jobs.

France has the lowest levels of trust in vaccines globally, according to the world's biggest survey on public attitudes toward health and science, which was published on Wednesday.

A third (33 percent) of French people do not agree that immunization is safe, and it is also the only country where a majority (55 percent) believe science and technology will reduce the total number of jobs available, according to the poll of more than 140,000 people across 144 countries.

France, famous for its strong anti-Muslimreligious policies, has proven once again just how successful the nation has been in embracing the age of Enlightenment. The clever atheist people of France have unanimously welcomed reason, rationality and science into their mud huts - then killed it with their BO and contagious measles.

have you even read the entire article? no you haven't obviously. go play with your legos.

Saying this without substantiating it is basically the grown up version of a kid going 'NO YOU ARE WRONG'. Unless betiko is going to cite information from the article that contradicts my OP - which he can't, because there isn't any - I'd suggest we just put our headphones in and wait till he tires himself out and falls asleep on the sofa.

Judging by his past performances and his age that will probably only take him 3 minutes, which is just enough time to listen to Burna Boy - On The Low in its entirety.

I have a hard time believing they beat out Oregon or Washington in that regard, but then I've never been to France, as the saying goes.

This is a picture of ex-French President Jacques Chirac delivering his inaugural speech on the steps of the Elysee Palace:

The survey of people aged 15 and older was devised by Wellcome, a British medical charity, and conducted by Gallup World Poll between April and December 2018.

It found that people living in high-income countries have the lowest confidence in vaccines, a result that ties in to the rise of the anti-vaccination movement, in which people refuse to believe in the benefits of vaccinations or claim that the treatment is dangerous.

'People are less used to living with threats'
An estimated 169 million children missed out on the vital first dose of the measles vaccine between 2010 and 2017, according to a UN report issued in April.

In the US alone, the number of cases of the disease this year has exceeded a thousand, according to the latest official figures.

"I think we expected that general trend, because where we have seen that skepticism and concern about vaccines, that tends to be in more developed countries," Imran Khan, Wellcome's head of public engagement, who led the study, told AFP.

"But I think the extent of the difference is surprising and some of those numbers were really startling."

Globally, 79 percent of people agreed that vaccines are safe and 84 percent said they were effective.

On the other end of the spectrum from France, Bangladesh and Rwanda had the highest levels of confidence in vaccines, with almost 100 percent in both countries agreeing they were safe, effective and important for children to have.

basically..... the survey is about trust in vaccines; while for some odd reason only 55% of french trust vaccines according to that survey, they are madatory for every french child, and mandatory when you go to certain countries.
Rich countries can obviously afford to have more doubts about vaccines because we don't have hepatitis and all that crap unlike benglasdesh or rwanda. That survey is crap, also show me the survey and how the question was formulated. "according to a survey" is not good enough for me. People can write crap biaised articles about all sorts of dumb biaised surveys.

I have a "friend" that is all about illuminati, no moon landing, creationism, flat earth, 9/11conspiracy and all the crap you want, and even his kid gets vaccinated

[betiko]

by the way... I remember when I was a kid, my godfather that is a doctor gave me both hepatitis B and C in half an hour and as a result I remember I felt sick as f*ck and had to stay on a bed unable to move until the next day. So do I trust vaccines to be safe? no. Would I not use vaccines? obviously not. just another dumb troll post.

I will not read your post given that you missquoted me and you probably didn't play with your legos

[mrswdk]

So do I trust vaccines to be safe? no.

Case in point.

To be fair, it turns out French people have a good reason to be suspicious and fearful of robots. It would appear that French scientists have become the first in the world to make the human body obsolete by creating a replacement robot:

A man has been able to move all four of his paralysed limbs with a mind-controlled exoskeleton suit, French researchers report.

that's your problem.... "Not sure vaccines are safe" does not mean "anti-vax". Not being sure the Red Light district is safe in Amsterdam, doesn't mean you don't like it. I think you need to go back to the basics, middle school or something. It might be a great opportunity to understand the basics of logic 101

Are I see, you're one of those people who thinks vaccines are dangerous but also supports using them. Is there a name for that? Pro-autist?

I think cars are dangerous, but I also support them.
You think Chlamedia is dangerous yet you have sex with whatever the things you have unprotected sex are called.
It's pretty clear who's being autistic here, amirite?

I don't think chlamydia is dangerous. It's like catching a cold - bang a pill and you're cured.

I think cars are dangerous, but I also support them.

I have no idea what this sentence is supposed to mean. Can anyone help translate?

It isn't very complicated. He thinks cars are dangerous, but he accepts that the benefits of having them outweigh the risks.

I think 120 Volts at 60 Hz AC can kill you, but it doesn't stop me from plugging things into the wall when necessary.

I think choking on my food and dying would be dangerous, but that doesn't stop me eating.

France is more like Medina.
