Apparently, waking up to a horse head in your bed is motivating.

Two types of people:

1. Those who believe that vaccines are a good thing, but have questions about the MRNA vaccines and about the number of vaccines given to children under two years old.

2. Those who are militantly anti-vaccine.

The much smaller second group is much more vocal than the much larger first group. This influences many of the simple-minded to adopt an anti-vaccine stance.

Vaccines have saved millions of lives. We need to keep the two groups separated in our minds and in our culture.

So glad my kids are all grown and I don’t have to deal with this mess.

And those who think everyone must get all vaccines tested or untested in order to save everyone’s life

You believe those are the only two types of people?

Not me. I’ve never gotten flu since I stopped the vaccines.

No. I was merely speaking in the context of those who want to limit vaccines, not those who want everything.

Not all vaccines are bad. For example, Jonas Salk’s vaccine saved many thousands from the horror of polio.

Anyway, I’ve read that some companies are messing around with an mRNA flu vaccine. (Oh, hell no.)

So if you’re getting a flu shot, be sure to ask your provider just what kind of flu shot you’re getting.

If any rational person was to pick which vaccines had real value then they would not pick a flu vaccine. They don’t really work and they do far more harm than good. If someones body is going to be subjected to a limited number of vaccines then this should not be one of them.

I think the medical establishment made resistance to vaccines worse by resorting to arguments by authority, instead of being realistic, and offering proof.

And it's worse because in the U.S. since the 80's, it's illegal to sue vaccine manufacturers, and it's almost impossible to get anything from the agency for vaccine injuries.

There is an organized third group who tries to demonize and label everyone who is in the 1st group as if they were in the 2nd group, the sad thing is not all of them are being paid by the pharma companies, they are just that mentally ill. (probably on anti-depressants too)

I agree. Americans traditionally have a healthy distrust of authority.

Medical establishment: You cannot challenge our authority.
European: Okay.
American: What are trying to hide?

Vaccines work.

But there is still the question of believing something is a vaccine when people who want you dead say you have to take it.

There's plenty of good evidence for the annual flu shots.

But like any other pharmaceuticals, they aren’t infallible. Why does the government allow lawsuits for any other pharmaceutical, but not vaccines? We still need rigorous science for any pharmaceutical. Hubris is the enemy of science.
