    He says there were 3 vaccines for kids and now there are 76. There are 15.

    He says this is because of what happened in 1986. Back then, the under-5 mortality rate was 14 in 1,000. It has since been cut in half (7 in 1,000). I wonder why.

    For autism, I have no idea but I bet the rates are increasing because of increased awareness and finer-tuned diagnosis requirements.

    I agree.

    150 years ago, how many people were diagnosed and died from (for example) Parkinsons? MS? ALS?

      I know several people, including some family, who labeled their kids as having Aspergers to explain why they weren't succeeding at whatever. It was a HUGE mistake. Stick that label on a kid and he will underperform forever.

        When I was a kid the kids who today would be given ADHD diagnoses were labeled ‘hyperactive’ if not just ‘troublemaker’.

          I think labels and diagnoses are not bad in themselves, but too many parents and children can't differentiate between "category" and "excuse."

            Completely agree - you shouldn't lie to people. But the solution is a couple of decades in vaccine science purgatory to atone for the CDC's politics in 2020? (under Trump's nose, no less).

            Be more explicit - the CDC lied about masks therefore we’re going to put a generation of children at risk, many of whom will die.

            Can someone - anyone - walk me through the logic here? Jolly?

              What’s really sad is Trump’s people pandering to a whack job like RFK over this issue in order to gain the crunchy nut flake vote.

                I think you’ll probably see them remove the protections for the vaccine manufacturers. Depending on the limits, I don’t find that unreasonable. There will also likely be some new studies. Not sure that I like that very much. I think we all can agree that we’ve seen how bias can affect studies…

                  Yeah, sort of hoping the blanket anti-vax stuff doesn't actually make it into any meaningful policy decisions.

                  tbh, I'd even been wondering if the RFK/Trump alliance could make it all the way through to the election...Kennedy has a real 'big business=bad' kind of way about him. How long into an administration could it be before heads but, and Trumps latest best bud, becomes another 'lame brain' that had to get fired?

                    I think it’s highly possible he’ll dump RFK once he becomes inconvenient. Let’s hope so, at least.

                    “RFK, go away, what more do I have to say?”

                      After the pro-vax side used its rhetorical currency to force people to take the jab, on penalty of economic death, the appeal of the anti-vax side spread far wider than crunchy soccer moms.

                      Education is extremely important.

                          That’s legislation, not executive action. I don’t know enough about it but let’s do gun manufacturers too.

                          As long as it’s P4 (post-marketing, IOW they don’t pause immunizing babies in the mean time).

                          Far less common in interventional drug studies because the entire statistical analysis has to be pre-registered with and approved by the FDA. In the few instances where we’ve seen pharma cheat it’s full on felonious shit like hiding data, not putting the thumb on the scale with a little p-fishing.

                            4. Lab leak? Of course not! It was bats… Or possibly Pangolins. From the market in Wuhan. Just go past the institute studying Coronaviruses and make a left.

                            7. Herd immunity can be achieved at 70%… No, wait, 80%… All while having evidence they needed 60%.

                            8. The rate of hospitalizations in children is rising! Referring to a small statistical blip weeks before that had already settled and gone to prior levels and even lower.

                                Yes. I get that some health professionals said or did things people don’t like. But I can’t complete the logical leap from ‘I don’t like what some health professionals said or did’ to ‘therefore let’s stop immunizing kids and let some die from preventable disease’

                                Is that some kind of revenge? ‘Hey, Mr Redfield, screw your masking lies, here’s some dead kids so fuck you’.

                                  He says there were 3 vaccines for kids and now there are 76. There are 15.

                                  He says this is because of what happened in 1986. Back then, the under-5 mortality rate was 14 in 1,000. It has since been cut in half (7 in 1,000). I wonder why.

                                  For autism, I have no idea but I bet the rates are increasing because of increased awareness and finer-tuned diagnosis requirements.

                                  For autism, I have no idea but I bet the rates are increasing because of increased awareness and finer-tuned diagnosis requirements.

                                  I bet there's positive correlation between mass shootings, being gay and vaccinations too.

                                  The damage caused is almost certainly indescribable

                                  I was only joking

                                    Yes. I get that some health professionals said or did things people don’t like. But I can’t complete the logical leap from ‘I don’t like what some health professionals said or did’ to ‘therefore let’s stop immunizing kids and let some die from preventable disease’

                                    Is that some kind of revenge? ‘Hey, Mr Redfield, screw your masking lies, here’s some dead kids so fuck you’.

                                    I'm quite surprised you can't see this.

                                    1. Dr. Jackass is my PCP.
                                    2. Dr. Jackass told me that if I wear a mask and get immunized, I wouldn't get COVID and wouldn't give it to anyone.
                                    3. I got COVID and gave it to my family. Dr. Jackass fed me a plate of bullshit.
                                    4. What Dr. Jackass told me mirrors what other doctors online and in the news are saying. But I know that's not true because I got COVID and gave it to my family.
                                    5. Dr. Jackass, doctors online and in the news also said to get vaccinated. But we all know they're full of shit now, so probably they're full of shit about this, too.

                                    At the risk of being obvious—which I think we've thrown out the window already—I don't agree with the above, but for me it makes all the sense in the world how someone could be convinced of this line of reasoning.

                                    Please love yourself.

                                      Wow. You give them less credit than I do. But if that’s the logic - they were wrong about one thing ergo they’re wrong about everything- why stop at vaccines? Aren’t they full of shit about chemotherapy and antibiotics too?

                                      Only non-witches get due process.

                                        I didn't believe much of anything that was said at the time. No one had any reliable knowledge of the virus and its effects. All we knew was the nightmare in Italy and then NYC. It's very easy to sit back now and opine about overreaction, but the very real and not unreasonable fear was overwhelming the system. I know that I felt I CANNOT get this disease. Now I’ve had it four times.

                                        As it turns out I only knew one person it killed directly, but I know my beloved MIL was basically imprisoned for two years which accelerated her dementia.

                                          One big reason to not reelect Trump:

                                          • He does not attract the best and brightest to work for him.

                                          More likely than not, Trump repels good talents and attract bad/incompetent people.
