You didn't respond to my question.

There is no way I'll believe a single thing you say, when you can't defend your statement that you've never been sick.

You'd be as phenomenal as Henrietta Lacks, whose cells never died.
I really haven't. I have had broken bones and stuff like that, but no flu or cold.

Never in your life?

I make that statement, too, I'm never sick. Which means, I go 15 years between being sick. I haven't been very sick as an adult.

But that's not the same - at all - as the statement "I've never been sick".

Would your mother, doctor, and siblings agree you've never been sick?

Yes. lol I know many people who never got sick in their lifetimes. Not abnormal.

Nope.

It's exceptionally abnormal.

It's by getting sick in childhood that we develop immunities that keep us from getting sick as an adult.

But anyway, it's silly to keep this conversation going because there's no way for you to prove this here.

Honestly, OP, if you can demonstrate to the medical community that you've never been sick, they will flock to hear your story.

I meant that sincerely, Mtnluver.

Typically I have been interested in your posts, and have wanted to hear what you have to say.

This is the same. But this claim is beyond belief, for me. This smacks of lack of long term memory.

If you can prove that you've literally never been sick, by your medical records and school records and work records, the AMA would be very interested in that.

If your mother is living and can say yes, Mtnluver never ever was sick, that would add weight to this statement.

And I mean that sincerely.

Let's see.
  • Watch my kid get polio, smallpox, measles......
  • Watch my kid take a vaccine....
Only the complete Deranged would think there is actually a choice here.

BTW, you're STILL deflecting!



Bloodletting was peer reviewed at one point too!
No, peer review was not around in those days.

OTOH, bloodletting is being used in modern times.

Today phlebotomy therapy is primarily used in Western medicine for a few conditions such as hemochromatosis, polycythemia vera, and porphyria cutanea tarda

In the last 25 years leech therapy has made a comeback in the area of microsurgery and reimplantation sur*gery. Hirudo medicinalis can secrete several biologically active substances including hyaluronidase, fibrinase, proteinase inhibitors, and hirudin, an anticoagulant.

The leech can help reduce venous congestion and prevent tissue necrosis. In this way it can be used in the postoperative care of skin grafts and reimplanted fingers, ears, and toes. Because of concern regarding second*ary infections a “mechanical leech” has been developed at the University of Wisconsin.

There was a consensus among doctors...




Besides, you're missing the point. OP used the appeal to authority to deflect from my point....it's a weak response when there is none!


Fact is, I don't just trust the Government and I accept or reject vax's based on my own judgement of value.
