The surgeon general of the United States recently showed up on Sesame Street to try to convince kids to get vaccinated, and his spiel was pitched at the appropriate intellectual level, according to one prominent medical doctor.
It just puts the argument down on a juvenile plane and insults peoples intelligence, said Dr. Jane Orient, executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. Because these little kids are not the people you need to be talking to. The people you need to be talking to are the parents who are making the decisions.
In the video released late last week, Vivek Murthy, the surgeon general, arrived on Sesame Street to comfort Elmo as the muppet nervously waited to get a vaccination.
Why does Elmo need a vaccination anyway? the young monster asked.
Murthy told Elmo getting vaccinated is just like carrying an umbrella when it rains or wearing a helmet while riding a tricycle. He explained vaccines provide the body with information to help make antibodies that fight germs.
Orient scoffed at Murthys comparison.
Its not a question of do you have an umbrella in the rain, its a question of whether vaccines have more risks than benefits, she told WND. Dr. Lee Hieb, past president of the AAPS, agreed the surgeon general made a bad analogy.
Theres no downside to wearing a helmet, said Hieb, author of Surviving the Medical Meltdown: Your Guide to Living Through the Disaster of Obamacare. Theres no allergic reaction or risk of death or infirmity from putting an umbrella up unless it pokes you in the eye. I mean, those things dont have side effects. I think thats absolutely criminal for the surgeon general to say...

Good article.
NINE??? Very commendable.
I would say the main problem is both the government and big pharma has shown themselves to be untrustworthy. Therefore everything is questioned. As most people know, once trust has been lost it’s almost impossible to get it back. And the more they push, the more people dig in their heels.
Need I outline the lies and deceit of the past decade? Not only from our elected officials, but the crony capitalists, and the msm as well.
We do not vaccinate either—though my self and my son who have both been in the military have had them all. I have no faith in government requirements, but I have faith that God is in control of all things. Even the decline of this country and the seeming triumph of evil—we know who wins in the end.
What else does teh Surgeon General do these days anyway?
Who knows the extent of the evil the elites have planned for any who question their sovereignty.
