This ant vaxx rhetoric is a cult. The goalposts and facts change to fit their narrative. It is very sad really

Read Dr. Suzanne Humphries’ book, “Dissolving Illusions” and “Turtles All the Way Down”. Might change your perspective a bit? Unless you have some vested interest in pushing vaccines.

Guess what? I am one of those “minimally vaxxed” baby boomers who had maybe three vaccines? I survived measles, German measles, chickenpox (in my teens- not fun!) and whooping cough. Now in my 70s, with lifetime natural immunity. It’s absurd and lazy to attribute concerns about adverse events from insufficiently tested and monitored vaccines to not caring if kids die.

Whooping cough does not provide lifetime natural immunity.

Your teen case of chickenpox sets you up for shingles - something reduced if you are vaccinated.

And your survivorship bias overlooks that some of your peers didn't survive those diseases. They aren't here to post and say that they wished that they had been vaccinated though!

Well, I’m into my 70s and haven’t had whooping cough again, so I’ll take my chances. Nor have I had shingles, ever! And I’ve seen studies that show the opposite: kids who get the chicken pox vax are more likely to get shingles as adults. “Survivorship bias”?! 🤣
