it's probably too expensive, but we don't want to talk about that now do we

My feeling is this will sort itself out as stories of kids getting strokes and blindness return to the zeitgeist.

It’s as if doctors and the whole western medical industry has completely lost the trust of patients. I wonder what could have led to so many people losing their faith in that industry. Could it be the insurance kickbacks they’re now known to receive for vaccine administration? Could it be that they got the food pyramid completely wrong for decades? Could it be that we’re now sicker than ever with all of their “help”? I grew up trusting doctors and vaccinating my children, but it’s not exactly surprising that we have the results that they’ve given us (sicker than ever) and trust is lost.

many of the "routine" injections are for things that are supposed to prevent issues that happen in 1~4 per 100000 births, but I can find no breakdown of how many issues are caused BY the vacines, or how many of the bad outcomes bieng "prevented", are actualy caused by mothers bad habbits and poor health. The hospitals chief meddical officer who came to admonish me for refusing these injections for our new born, finnaly admitted "we do treat many, to catch a few", after bieng unable to provide actual data on 1 ,the real ingredients in the injections, and two access to the data behind developing the "treatments". Kids and mom were supper healthy and fit,living simple rural lifestyle, my side of the family are medical, and we did our research as much as proved possible. Did notice and asked for clarification about the suite set asside for drug reps to do there sales pitches in the hospital, but as I have stated, information asked for concerning the injections, months in advance I must add, and promised to recieve, never did materialise. *fuck your down vote
