The second is a faith-based opinion that has nothing to do with science, from one of the original anti-vaxxers, talking about small pox vaccination. A hundred--hundred!-- years ago. Opinions and faith-based ideas that differ from what's empirically established is not valid science.

Knowing that man created all of his goddesses and gods, all 12,000 plus of them makes me a non-religious person, but one who still wants to believe that consciousness survives death. Have you ever heard of Dr. Ian Stevenson and his research on reincarnation? He was responsible for Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia.

I am reminded of the saying about god not saving one from harm. This is a slightly different version. A religious person who refused to get the vaccination died and upon getting to the pearly gates asked god why "he" didn't save her. God replied, I tried. I sent you the vaccine.
