> Peanut allergies are real. The frequency and severity are in doubt.
It’s possible to be allergic to anything: including peanuts. I don’t believe it is as common as is made out. It is certainly not sufficiently common to require me, as a school trustee, to approve a Policy (as I was asked to do) about “Peanut Allergy” WHEN NONE OF OUR SCHOOL’S CHILDREN HAD THIS ALLERGY.
As to vaccines, they are a medical intervention. Any medical intervention carries with it a degree of risk. It might be one in sixteen-squillion, but there is always risk.
As I found out when I had my knee operated on: there was a one-in-sixteen-squillion chance of infection. I accepted the risk, and as things worked out I was that one-in-sixteen-squillion, and nearly lost my leg as a result.
Still, when all is said and done, it is better to have the medical intervention and to run the risk, than to not.
As with knee operation infections, so with vaccine risks.

That’s exactly what I was saying.

This is true.
