Branch COVIDians love to scrub the past. If you look too deep into that time period, it ruins their smug illusions of intellectual superiority. Can't be having that!

I will say Kash Patel's lies to Congress this week made me slightly miss Tony Fauci. At least Lil Tony could lie under oath to the American public in a way that could convince someone, I guess. Kash isn't even good at being a lying scumbag.

Good grief....LOL. Someone needs to brush up on disclosure.

Delaying the MMRV vax until 4 was voted on yesterday with the Hep B and covid guidance today. This breaks it into multiple shots. I get the argument that it reduces follow through on the 2nd shot but why not be safer with them?

Poll found 1 in 6 parents are skipping all childhood vaccines. What's wild, it's mostly high income parents skipping.

What's their workaround to get their kids enrolled in school? Are that many home schooled?

MEDGA! Make Endemic Diseases Great Again!

This is what happens when you have a career grifter like RFK jr. as HHS secretary. The anti-vax stupidity metastasized from the left to the right during the COVID pandemic via overhyping the COVID shots. Now it's firmly entrenched on both extremes, and the extremes of both sides drive the narrative.

Shoud've gotten Jenny McCarthy as HHS secretary. At least she's nice to look at.

We should definitely just keep doing what we've done for past 30 years. It's not the extremes, the covid shot take is miserably low since the initial roll out. People realized, maybe we should actually look into what these "experts" are advising rather than just trust them. It also coincides with the Purdue Pharma fallout and realizing you have SOME very greedy people in Healthcare.

We followed the shot schedule blindly with our kids. That's how much faith we had in the system. My hospital bought our pediatricians(childhood friend) practice between child 1 and 2. That was two decades ago and we didn't think much of it. Docs aren't the independent thinkers from our childhood. The US is right on the edge of 4/5 docs employed corporately. It was 3/4 in 2020.

The first shot we questioned was hpv( around 2017-19?). We didn't see the need for such a low prob event.Especially for boys. Our kids were close enough to 18, if they felt the need, they could get it themselves.

That didn't stop the constant push though.

The next was the covid shot push for our kids. That was the final straw. Our kids were aging out of needing a pediatrician anyway.


I look back now and think we were pretty lazy not looking into any of them. Very few of us are dealing with an independent physician with independent thoughts. Most are dealing with corporate health. I wouldn't walk into a Ford(pick your own make) dealership and just take whatever they pushed me out the door with, why would I with my health?



"Muh, If you don't like your doc's advice, go to another doc!!!"

Well, at least 80% are going to say the same exact corporate line.

"Muh, see consensus!!!"

The wages of sin for the public health system is to be driven into nonexistence.

Good. Burn it to the ground and start over fresh.

this didn’t all of a sudden start 6 months ago, let’s try and be honest with ourselves. From OxyContin is not habit forming, don’t let your kids around peanuts disaster causing an explosion around peanut allergies, the COVID fiasco, everybody get ozempic, the ridiculous trash that is in our foods, etc etc our health care system seems a bit of a mess. At some point, like American car manufacturers in the 80s, the trust eroded after countless scandals.

Everyone in my house but myself got the new variant in August that is being called razor blade COVID. They sounded like Macho Man for a few days but didn’t die.

I had it when it first came around. My throat wasnt even that sore. Had much worse sore throats. Guess "just uncomfortable throat" wouldn't be dramatic enough.

You can go all the way back to cigarettes being healthy and the food pyramid. Fda has long been a scam.

The entire model is built to make money. Nothing more.

Don't all mothers get tested for Hep B anyway? I don't understand why giving young kids a hep B vaccine is needed.

If i ever have kids they're absolutely getting genetically tested. I was paralyzed from transverse myelitis in a reaction to the mmr vaccine. I'm not anti-vax for everyone, but it should be pretty scrutinized on an individual basis though. I did take the first covid pair but never any boosters.

The pressure to take the Warp Speed Covid shot was like none other. People's jobs were threatened, children were forced to take it when zero risk of Covid or harm from it. And we all know how they crashed the economy.

I lost lots of money because i didn't take the mandated shot. Fortunately i was important enough and enough they couldn't dei me. It was close though.

Speaking of the "new variant" that's been going around the last month, everyone in our family had the crud but me. I spent the fewest hours outdoors of anyone in the family for the last month. Only had temporary issues/symptoms lasting maybe 30min and only after being outside for a few minutes between meetings, errands, and work.

The last week has been the most heavy aerosols, to the point that I was going to wear a gator or mask outside a couple days even when only running errands. Thursday and Friday early in the day were the worst in terms of metallic chemical odor in Nicholasville and Lexington.

This is why more people are backing away from shots until they do the studies mandated in 1986 and not only provide safer shots, but also prove more than just thin correlation.


The differences between the health outcomes of the two groups of children studied is massive.

If you dont mind my asking-
Was that as an adult or as a child?
If as an adult was it a booster or a full dose?
Was it temporary or permanent?
Did you get genetic testing done afterward?
Did you have any skin issues before the shot administration, like dermatitis, eczema, or any rashes?

Thanks

TM was as a child after the mmr shot. 13 months old. It's permanent paralyzed from shoulders down. No skin issues, and no i haven't undergone any testing but if I was having children i'd get tested and test the kids.

As someone who went through chemo/ radiation for Stage 4 HPV four years ago(53 at the time) I would hope you might reconsider the vaccine for your kids(primarily boys) since there is no test for them. Girls get tested yearly with pap smears. It takes about 20 years for the infection to turn into cancer. Most every sexual active person will get HPV but the overwhelming majority of peoples immune system fight it off, I wasn't so lucky. Also need to add Kentucky is the state with the fastest rising cases of HPV Cancer
