“You cannot inject health”
“You can’t inject health” is a saying used by anti-vaccination supporters. The saying means that health can be acquired in many ways by healthy living (such as eating right and exercising), but that a vaccination will not suddenly solve a health problem.
“You can’t inject health or strong muscle into a person; he has to build both by daily care of his whole body” was printed in Dr. Shelton’s Hygienic Review by Herbert M. Shelton in July 1942, but the saying wouldn’t be popular until the 2010s.
“You cannot inject health” was posted on Twitter by Mayer Eisenstein MD on March 6, 2013. “You can’t inject health or immunity” was posted on Twitter by Sangita JV on January 27, 2018. “YOU CANNOT INJECT HEALTH!!!” was posted on Twitter by JESSICA C COLÓN on February 26, 2018.

Because you can’t inject health, but your MMR injection can eliminate your healthy immune system & leave you vulnerable to contracting Mumps

Jordan touches base on some intersting topics. Around 10 minute mark he talks of vaccines (polio comeback) “You can’t inject health into your body,” he says. Q&A at end of video from viewers. https://youtube.com/attribution_link?a=mxN-UeKW86I&u=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DUuJpA7lXi7g%26feature%3Dshare

You can’t inject health! Vaccines are a way to dumb us down and keep us asleep.

“You cannot inject health” (says the anti-vaxxer who has had chickenpox, shingles, the flu and pneumonia)
These posts were made in a discussion about flu shots during pregnancy. The second post is quoting the top one.

Start asking ex vaxxers why they stopped. There’s a reason they did. Vaccines are not one size fits all. You can’t inject health.

You cant make a vaccine for an illness you can get repeatedly. Idk what they plan to inject you with- you cant even gain individual immunity. The vaccine if it ever comes out will be useless. You cannot inject health from the most toxic substances on the planet.

Before the virus…. employers make their employees pick between a flu shot or a mask for five months. No one should ever have to pick between a flu shot or a mask….their job. You can’t inject health.
