How about choosing vaccines only for the diseases for which there is no cure? I think particularly of TB and Polio. A tetanus shot would be my third choice. That's it. Let the immune system build up. Avoid germ-laden environments. If you get sick take time to heal.

Older US citizens are told we don't have much to worry about if there's a measles outbreak. Why? We've all been exposed to it in our youths.

Having had both forms of Measles as a kid, I now get shingles and can’t take the vaccine. My immune system is to compromised. I’ve had 2 patches of shingles 10 yrs apart. Thankfully they were small and cleared with topical creams.

Now that I am older I have to worry about OA, OP, FMS, Gastroparesis, spinal degeneration, and GERD those OA drugs caused. OP caused by taking PPI’s for to many years. Vicious circle. Take 1 pill to fix what another pill caused.

We forget much of our immune system is in our GUT.
