I am not a cult leader. I am not anti-science (that one is almost funny, given how much I quote Einstein). And I am not an anti-vaxxer. Hoping that if I repeat it 3 to 4 times a day I might penetrate the field of lies created to keep some people out of the conversation.

"...assume they're a paragon of pure intention?" That's a straw man argument. And straw man arguments don't make a good case for trusting a candidate. But OK, Marianne, I'll bite. How was Jonas Salk, to take one example, guilty of nefarious intent by inventing the polio vaccine?
Jonas Salk was a great scientist. The polio vaccine did and does save lives. The current controversy about vaccines is not about their inherent value. It’s about the rise in chronic illnesses (from 12% to 54%) among American children since the “Vaccine Protection Law” in 1986.

It’s about big Pharma lobbying Congress at $282M last year (oil & gas $125M). It’s about $4B in compensation claims since the 1986 law. It’s about Centers for Disease Control Refusing to do more research, despite pressure from Inst. of Medicine. And about the squashing of debate.

1 paid injury (by VICP) out of every million doses vaccine. (data from 2006 to 2017) I think you just confirmed that you are indeed an
#antivaxxer, despite claiming the opposite.

The reason we have people living with serious, chronic diseases is because we don’t have widespread, annual infectious diseases epidemics anymore that killed people with serious chronic diseases every year. They live with chronic diseases instead dying because of them.
-
Among other reasons...like chronic obesity, sedentary lifestyles, excessive caloric/sugar intake to name a few. Modern medicine, conveniences,& food abundance have removed many of the environmental stressors that once limited life expectancy.

I too believe in vaccinations, but I question the schedules.
-
Good thing they're studied, at exhausting length, every year, given the current sched & grouped based on best immune responses per age group. Alt schedules can unnecessarily put kids lives at risk of disease/ death from complications like 100% fatal SSPE (Measles comp- 1/609)

It is exactly statements like this that make people think you are anti-vax. Correlation does not = causation. Cell phone use also skyrocketed during this time frame. Why are you not blaming that for childhood chronic illnesses?
