No vaccines in Bible, therefore they are bad

The woman's obviously a complete and utter flapdoddle, but I'm not surprised. There's no belief so bizarre or fuck-witted that no-one will hold it.

you deserve a Jura for that, as it made me laugh and I would buy you one for that.

Only right that you have it in the right size. I feel sort of cheated now that Jo Brand is quite slim.

I don’t think she’s dumb, I think she knows her audience. This is the kind of thing that plays well to Evangelical America. If she’s using NLP alongside it, even more so.

As an aside, I’ve heard quite a few people on MBs comment on how relatives and friends have turned into woo-believing, dump-the-chemo nutters after going on training courses for a certain supplement brand that’s actually a pyramid selling scheme. The effects on some salespeople have been described as ‘cult-like’ and I have wondered if NLP is used at the sales conferences.

[SteveH]

No suprise that she's also a food-faddist, in the mould of that ghastly McKeith woman, with the usual anti-scientific bollocks about de-toxing. Utterly irresponsible.

Yep, I was, for once, not being cynical enough about the intentions. And the idea that NLP might be being used in such training courses is interesting. I've not known anyone who has 'converted' to such beliefs

NLP courses have two target audiences - life coaches and the like, and those involved in marketing. You could argue that the former is a form of the latter to some extent. Anyway, I don’t know anyone who has been converted by salespeople but I’ve heard of it happening often enough to make me a bit  . I've also come across people personally who have attended ‘personal growth’ seminars, the main purpose of which seems to be a) to get you to sign up for more and b) to sign up as many other people that you know as you can. Pretty sure NLP features at those.

Another thing about focusing on the Bible us that she’s negating any charges of being into unbiblical new age not-the-right-god stuff beloved of crystal-hugging goopshitters.

I knew someone who was a NLP practitioner quite a while back, it was fashionable maybe twenty years ago. Dodgy in my view.

The Amish don't vaccinate, there are probably other religious groups who live as communities who don't.

[jeremyp]

I mustn't have anymore vaccinations, if they aren't to be found in the Bible!!!!!! 

Internet forums aren't to be found in the Bible.

Neither are Apple earphones, video blogs,, Google and cameras and yet, there she is using them.

They had Jesus Christ and the men of God to bring Gods healing power in the bible.
Now he has given us Vaccines too. Is there really a discussion here?
Sorry but I feel this is a "Look at me! situation and we are all capable of making our own decisions. 

[Rhiannon]

Humans have created vaccines, NOT god!

The question should be, why wait til now?

[Nearly Sane]

Or indeed why invent things that need vaccines?

God hurt! Adam not nice to God! God hurt babies! God make babies die in pain! God happy!

I like your idea of living in a cave and wearing animal skins, LR, but where would I get the animal skins (being as I have no concept of hunting and skinning), what security would I have in a cave and what would I do for heating and hot water? Also I am allergic to some animal skins or at least wool.

Other than that, sounds good - but I've had all my vaccs, some more than once, so maybe not necessary.

[Rhiannon]

Life in a cave? Where do I sign up?

Wee point.
Not a lot of evidence of humans evetr living in caves - except as an emergency shelter.
The damp and ammonia from the bat droppings are killers.....

[Robbie]

Thanks for that, Anchor, I can just imagine it!

Didn't people live in caves during the winter and only venture out for necessities?  They dried lots of food to sustain them throughout the cold season and didn't burn up much energy.

Must say I like the idea of semi-hibernating - with mod cons.
