This is called "vaccine education" Australian Government style, from a book supplied throughout schools:
Clearly, school children are now considered so dumb that no facts are required. Why would the Australian Government be providing this cartoon book (which had the above picture in it) to all Australian school children? (I have only scanned half of it.) Of interest, this book does NOT appear on Medikidz website. The whole book is an emotive, potted version based on garbled facts and a massive dose of peer group pressure. I wonder why "science' is no longer good enough? Perhaps if children knew the facts they might not want another vaccine?
In an attempt to improve the flagging rates of Gardasil uptake in USA, the Association of Women's Health in Washington DC, has sent this family divisive cartoon hither and yon, for doctors to give to girls as "information as well. The tactics in 2012, are to key into peer group pressure at all times - appeal to girls whose peers think that parents don't know squat, and parents who follow like sheep, those who follow the Nike motto of "just do it". Note that not one FACT is involved in either parent's cartoon decision making...any surprises there?
In today's world it seems that all you need to do to get kids to conform is give them cartoons to read, which tell them "YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM WANTS YOU TO GET A VACCINE! GO TO A CLINIC NEAR YOU! Never mind about facts. Peer pressure will do. Most vaccine recipients only find out about facts, if everything turns to custard for them.
No doubt in the not too distant future, in line with previous insultingly stupid educational DVDs.... IMAC et al, will follow suit.
