Anti-vaxxer 'warrior mom': If vaccines are so great, 'why aren't they mentioned in the bible?

BySky PalmaPosted on April 4, 2018

As someone who keeps a fairly close eye on internet quackery, this Tuesday marks the first time I’ve ever come across Brittany Kara‘s content. After watching a video mashup of her put together by a pro-vaccine Facebook page, I had to double-check to make sure what I was viewing wasn’t satire. As far as I can tell, Kara is the real deal.

According to her bio on Amazon, Kara is an author, certified master NLP practitioner (go ahead and google that), hypnotherapist, nutrition coach, and mother. The bio adds that she “specializes in teaching people how to detoxify their lives through cleansing and super foods.” She also specializes in spewing some of the most bizarre anti-vaxxer rhetoric I’ve seen yet.

In an edited video posted by The Real Truther, Kara offers a never-before-heard theory on why vaccines are bad: God didn’t give any hint of them in the bible.

“I just decided to just google what the bible says about vaccines,” Kara says at the outset of the video.

“There’s nothing in the bible that talks about vaccines.”

According to her theory, if God is all knowing, why isn’t there “any inkling of talk [in the bible] about these things called vaccinations coming into being later to save people?”

“If that was really God’s plan and they’re so amazing, then why isn’t it in there at all?”

Watch the video below:

And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.

Now the calf was made of gold but you can't burn gold so maybe it was covered in some germy material that could be sterilized and given orally as a vaccine.

...You can almost hear a quacking sound as you read the Wikipedia entry.

Galbraith, was always identified as "Harvard economist, John Kenneth Galbraith" and we could use a few more of his kind today. The Chicago school of unbridled greed economics had been ascendant for far too long.

Exodus 15; Vs whatever to Whocares

"And lo did'st they pursue the Israelite's unto the shores of the Red Sea, where they were held up by a mighty whirlwind of fire, and the general said, :Hey! Otis! Drive back and hitch up to that water tank near the garage, willya? And Otis did'th comply, because that's the kind of dude he was, putting his F-150 into low to climb the grade out of the valley."

I seldom come across anti-Vaxxers as I try to steer clear. When I do, I always ask them to think about the fact that any body of water they swim in could infect them with polio. Blank stares are all I have ever received in return. Polio has not been eradicated. It still exists.
