1950: “we will have flying cars in 21st century” 2019: videos explain that vaccines are better than be infected

Anyone else scrolling through the comments to find anti-vaxxer hate comments?

My dad contracted polio when he was 2 in 1947, at that time a health crisis was happening and all parents were worried their children could contract the virus, as my father developed a high fever, my grandmother took him to the hospital and the doctors quickly diagnosed him with polio and treated him with medications they had at the time, it was enough to stop the virus from spreading to others parts of the body, but the damage caused to his left leg was irreversible, the sequels of the viral infection in his peripheral nervous system of the left leg made that so his leg would not grow with the rest of his body, as he got older, he made a total of 8 surgeries in a painful procedure that broke his bones to extend the leg, each time he made the surgery he was plastered for half a year until his leg healed. He was never able to run, but he loved to play futbol as a goalkeeper and swim at his teens. He still needs to use a device that makes his left leg higher to walk because his right leg is 3 cm longer than the left, but he never complained about it and always talks about the importance of being vaccinated. Glory to the vaccines and health professionals!

My mother has allways been religiously anti-government, she says she isnt anti-vax, shes just anti-thisvax, (covid), but watching this, and scrupulously examining your sources, shes no longer anti-anyvax, thank you so much kurgesagt for your impartial and incredible video! Now i just need to convince her that the earth isnt flat🙄, she's not 100% convinced it is, but she refuses to "rule out the possibility" New video idea maybe? "X2 elbow nudges"

"If you cant be vaccinated then you should become the best vaccination promoter of all, so other people that can be vaccinated may protect you." this is the best logical conclusion one could have about the theme.

Just discovered this channel today and have already watched quite a few videos, very informative stuff that is all properly sourced and explained exceptionally well. I wish that more of the teachers I had in school were able to express themselves this clearly and effectively.

I have an enormous scar after I got vaccinated on 10th day of my life. My parents say that on this scar was also big bubble. Not pleasant side effects, but side effects from actual disease would be worse.

The fact that there has to be an 11 minute video on YouTube to explain something that you should have learned in 7th grade is really disturbing

A great slogan against drunk driving would be, “Would you rather crash on your friend’s couch or the highway?”

I knew a guy in Boy Scouts who was 2-3 years older than me, and he told me he couldn’t be vaccinated when I was 12. It blew my mind how that could happen, but it makes sense all these years later. Love you for more information I didn’t know, Kurzgesagt!

I really don't understand the "vaccines cause autism" argument. Like, even if they did, would you rather your kid not be able to socialize as well, or die of measles at the age of 2? Like, I'm autistic, and I can function just fine.

This channel is so good at educating! I hope they keep up their hard research and objective points of view

Pain is temporary Polio is forever

antivaxxers: oh cool a video that supports my ideology Kurzgesagt: I played a little trick on ya

I got measles and chicken pox as a kid 🙃 it was the most miserable time of my life. I also proceeded to make my parents life the most miserable time because I had to be quarantined from the rest of the people in the family... which meant I slept in their room since they were already immune to it. Also my mother made me get them because apparently it was better getting them than getting a vaccine. AKa, they asked the sick kid's family to play with me. 30 yrs later, I"m not surprised my mother is a huge promoter of "it's better to get covid than get a vac". Still surprised considering her compromised immune system with cancer and chemo would have made me think that she would campaign for it and not against it.
