oh, that's concerning. Well, mix a little lemon and honey and give it a pinch of Turmeric powder. A tablespoon per kid should do it for a full day's protection.

Trump is on his way to do maximal damage to America with his appointments. Is this the direction Ajax wanted to see for the New Confederacy?

The Onion recently purchased the InfoWars website, so I guess Alex Jones will appear in Trump's cabinet. Not sure what position. Perhaps it will be a new one that Musk and Ramaswamy will create.

RFK Jr. wanting to eliminate vaccines will make him an excellent Trump Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Likewise, Matt Gaetz wanting to eliminate the FBI will make him an excellent Trump Attorney General. What better way to take down the United States?

This could only be made better if posters could argue that the tone of the Democrats caused this calamity, or even better that this is not a calamity but a blessing.

Just curious: does RFK want to eliminate all vaccines, like polio, measles etc. There were a four of five that were needed to get me into kindergarten in the fall of 1966. I hear there are something like two to three times that amount now. I did get some type of booster later on at the end of elementary school. What diseases did I miss getting by only getting those basics in the mid '60s. Is someone making money with those additional vaccines being added?

In our capitalistic society - isn't that the goal?


we have vaccines now for chicken pox, hpv, meningitis, hep, a whole slew of things we used to not have. My kids never had chicken pox. If you think vaccines are a bad thing? I don't even know how to engage. The statistics on vaccination are pretty well understood, and even the cv-19 vaccines - the protection offered greatly outweighs the statistical risk of side effect.

Here’s the schedule, Yellowstone. This image is not as crisp as what’s available at the website, so you might want to check it out from the source, as there’s also an explanation given for what each vaccination is for:

RFK Jr. went and capitalized on a medical mistake in Samoa with a measles vaccine being mixed with an expired muscle relaxer which resulted in two 1 year olds dying. The later reduction in measles vaccination led to 83 deaths. In Tonga and Fiji where measles vaccination was higher no one died, despite experiencing the same outbreak as Samoa. He has tried to distance himself from it, but he and his organization spread anti-vaccination messages in Samoa. They tried to blame poverty and poor nutrition, but studies proved that Samoans were generally consuming enough vitamin A and were not deficient (which is a risk factor for measles to be worse).

I had to get another MMR to go to high school in Utah in the mid-90s which was an added booster. Generally speaking though pharmaceutical companies make way less from vaccines than they do cancer and other drugs. As this board population is older can I recommend getting shingles vaccine if your doctor recommends it? I've gotten shingles twice, once on my mission due to stress and immunodeficiency and once stress and probably related to my immune deficiency, and it sucks balls. At least I only have numbness, my dad got it as part of his lymphoma and it he hurts every day and has had to carefully manage narcotics to function, and it took years for him to get to it right to where he mostly has a normal life, though diminished energy.
