Organic fruits and vegetables, proper diet, physically fit, socially active, strong minded, and will full.
Fuck vaccines, they are just poison. We can overcome any illness with the proper medication. No need to poison yourself first to fight off things later. The body heals itself and quite well.

Ever seen a picture of a ward full of iron lungs Jman420?
Do you think the blind and brain damaged children whose mothers contracted measles just need proper treatment?
What about the victims of TB struggling for breath or whose bones were deformed by tubercles?
Holy shit, do these people just not know how bad things were, especially on children, before vaccines were widely available? Women would get abortions if they contracted Rubella because it could cause some pretty nasty birth defects. Mumps can render young men infertile, measles kills like one in five of those who get infected, and it's usually unvaccinated children. Smallpox vaccines have almost pushed the virus to the brink of extinction. Yellowfever, malaria, pertussis and other vaccines save lives.
I hope these gullible little shits never have children. I'm actually leaning in the direction that not vaccinating your children is child abuse.
"We can overcome any illness with the proper medication."
Ah, you mean like cancer which can best be treated with chemotherapy which involves regular injections of poisons and/or radioactive substances in order to kill off the diseased cells?
I am old enough to have attended the funerals of classmates who died of polio, whopping cough, TB and on and on...
You don't want vaccinations? Fine, move to Death Valley so the rest of us don't have to worry.
All of the things in your first sentence are great for a healthy lifestyle. Although organic fruits and vegetables are basically nothing more than a bunch of hype to get wealthy people to pay more for their food. Organic farming may be better for the soil but the health benefits are no different than non-organic fruits and vegetables. The best thing you can do is buy locally grown, organic or not. Okay that is besides the point.
None of those things will protect you from measles, mumps, polio, rubella, flu, etc. Vaccines are perfectly safe, especially compared to the alternative. People like you promote fear and misinformation about things that you know little about and in doing so you jeopardize an untold amount of lives. Undermining herd immunity can have devastating consequences and you people are trying your damnedest to make that happen.
So vaccines were not invented because some infections are notoriously potentially serious or lethal? And we have magical medications that can cure everything? And the immune system is guaranteed to magically fight every virus? What when the immune system overreacts and is partly responsible for death? Something that a low dose artificial agent to trigger immunity can help to prevent. Also, antivirals exist for some viruses, but it's often too late when administered and can have serious unwanted side effects. The safety of vaccines is much higher, serious side effects are rare. Vaccines can be planned and preventative, protecting a population and preventing or breaking epidemics.
Because of this irrational fear of effective preventative medicine, some diseases that were once almost completely eliminated have come back in some regions. Ignorance and misinformation and disinformation can harm society.
Confused?
