The health of the people in our country

[PCHawk]

Nobody has to get a vaccine shot

And Nobody has the right to deny folk the right to get a shot

Polio, Measles, Chickenpox were wiped out by a vaccine

Smallpox was eradicated because of a vaccine

They are necessary to preserve public health

The good thing is RFK is very much for having the option for taking vaccines.

Smallpox was, but the ones listed were not. In fact, measles is on the rise right now due to lack of vaccinations in some areas and travel, leading to increased exposure.

The vaccine question will always be controversial, especially the mandatory nature of some. It is a classic example of balancing personal liberties with public safety. If the MMR vaccine becomes optional for children, you can bet with confidence that there will be a dramatic increase in illnesses.

I have significant reservations regarding RFK Jr, but I don't doubt his passion and commitment. I just hope that he can put aside his strong personal beliefs and utilize evidence-based research to guide him, especially with vaccines. His focus on eradicating ingredients that could be harmful, and/or are designed to stimulate appetite and increase consumption is highly commendable and well overdue.

For those who haven't read it, there is a very interesting and enlightening book about some of this:

I have not read that book, but Doritos are absolutely crack to me. I am not sure there is a single thing in life that gives me more pleasure than throwing a handful of Doritos in my mouth, to the extent that it disturbs me even as I am stuffing my face. I have to keep them out of the house.

This along w/ all the chemicals allowed to be sprayed on our food which is leading to Americans getting sick which leads to people going to the doctor which ultimately leads to big pharma. It’s all utterly disgusting.

Ahhhh.

Therefore, you definitely should read that book. It's eye-opening to say the least.

Do you know how much inflation would exist for food if all vegetables were organically grown? We'd only be able to produce about a 1/3 of supply for the US and about 1/8 globally.

I'm not saying we should ignore the effects of the chemicals but with growing populations, pests adapting and climate change, farming can't keep up without them.
