I read one report that estimated that about 42,000 of the 4.1 million children born in the USA every year, would have died without our robust mandatory vaccination program (for kids in public schools at least). Not to even mention the direct and indirect costs, of a lack of immunizations. I also shake my head at those whose opposition to the Covid vaccine is predicated on "I don't put what I don't know, in my body," yet are obese and can't even pronounce a lot of the ingredients - in the fast/junk food they constantly consume. I won't hold my breath for a 'hypocrisy vaccine' anytime soon though. lol

Hypocrisy is popular among refuseniks. I don't put what I don't know in my body - by the way we're having lunch at the country club - hot dog special today.
They reject this vaccine, but aren't mad at their parents for forcing them to have the smallpox vaccine, or the MMR, or DPT/TDaP when they were little kids.
But go figure - we live in a community that refuses to fluoridate the water. And look at how many thriving dental offices are in the area. No surprise there. |
