Boy! You're taking a HARD RIGHT position!

Total avoidance of danger.

Do you live in a bubble?

Your name Howard Hughes?

There are germs EVERYWHERE.

WATCH OUT!

I honestly am confused by what you've said. My impression was that you were saying that it's better to avoid getting vaccinated because "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger".

A vaccination is a biological challenge (supposedly a controlled one).

An infection is a biological challenge (supposedly an uncontrolled one).

It used to be that the vaccination was a contrived challenge, while the infection was a genuine challenge.

Nowadays - both are contrived.

And the drug companies making the vaccine cannot be sued if there are adverse side effects. Most likely due to little to no testing.

Swine Flu Vaccine Makers Granted Legal Immunity, Disease and Condition

"Swine flu manufacturers have now been granted legal immunity in case something goes wrong that causes side effects associated with the vaccine. Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services signed a document making federal officials and vaccine makers immune from lawsuits related to any ill effects from the swine flu vaccine."
