Thank you. Someone scolded me yday for my negative comment on RFKjr, and posted their “data” to convince me.
Question: is the current MMR different from the one my kids had in the 90’s? If they hadn’t had the MMR, would my kids have gotten gold medals for academics instead of silver? Would my daughter have started a solo business instead of a partnership, would my son have cycled in Switzerland instead of Ecuador? Or would they have been damaged by a disease that shouldn’t exist and not been able to live the full life they have?
Obvious answer my friends. Don’t let our children suffer and die for fools.
I reviewed all my vaccinations once my spouse got pregnant to ensure that all my vaccinations were up to date too. No point bringing home whooping cough accidentally and killing a child just because he / she had not yet been vaccinated against it.
Preventable disease is just that, usually preventable. That’s not to claim that vaccinations 100% effective (they rarely are, stuff evolves, see COVID, the flue, etc) but even some protection is better than nothing.
And in some cases like smallpox, vaccinations eliminated a terrible disease in the wild. More could have followed - see polio, for example.

Precisely.

Hi Constantin, thanks. Nothing is ever guaranteed, we just do our best!
I should post some of the surgical procedures for post-polio deformities. Maybe that would get some attention.
