The Missus has a severe peanut allergy. When I met her back in the 1980’s it seemed strange and rare.

Now it seems half the population has this allergy, to the point that planes and ballparks are banning peanuts.

It may or may not be vaccines, but something sure as heck has changed in the past thirty years.

All that's clear is that a well reasoned, thoughtful debate is not being had in the medical/science community nor among the public. Too many vaccine interests at stake among big Pharma, and lots of 'anti-vax' fear mongering in upper-middle America. But we need to meet in between.

Exactly right. Same for autism.

It would be better for all concerned if the vaccine industry (big pharma) and their lackeys would ease up on the fascism and encourage open and honest discussion on the topic.

Trying to pound people into submission doesn’t usually work with Americans. Real Americans, that is. If anything it makes them more suspicious of their intentions.

And just saying “it’s for the children” simply doesn’t cut it anymore.

I grew up in peanut country. During harvest season, there was peanut dust everywhere. At school, there was some form of peanuts on our lunch trays every day. No one was allergic to them.

I’ve read doctors are now recommending babies be given little bits of peanut butter so they won’t be allergic.
