Either way, I chuckled. Reps to you.

I guess now I'm curious. If not scientific literature, then what?

The Big Pharma and medical industry has changed from treating problems to treating symptoms. In most cases (Not all.) they choose treating symptom over cures because of money.


Uh, you understand that vaccines are literally treating the problem, not the symptom, right? So, the polar opposite of what's highlighted above. You get that, right?

Both of us received lots of vaccines when we reported for basic.

It wasn't optional.

I was too young and ignorant...I have much more control over my life now!


Like I said...I'm not blindly pro or anti...I make decisions based on my own determination of value.

I think a lot of people fall in the middle and see the value of being free to make decision based on a wide variety of factors. For instance there are many who may decide to get most vaccines but then forgo others. I just hope the people who value the ability to choose will speak up because that right is being eroded state by state, day by day.

WELL SAID

My wife got advice from the antivax crowd when my kids were little. I have no idea who they were exactly other than probably links from FB friends. Thinking of those people causes me much anger and desire to smash faces. I wont, but the desire is there. Vaccinating my kids on the basic stuff was a huge fight with my wife I had to endure because of those [long list of swear words]. I paid a long term and large price personally because of them. I need to stop writing because my anger is rising.
