kitten corner: public distrust of public health
THE SCIENCE™ would like to shift some blame now please.
jeez you guys, i hope it’s not the same organized, well funded, and empowered anti-science movement that took over public health in 2020!
those guys seem really dangerous…
"Will anti-vaccine activism in the USA reverse global goals?"
I sure hope so.
If I had it to do over, my kids would’ve gotten maybe 5 vaccines once they were 3 or 4. Now they are all done. I was skeptical of Covid from the start, and was never going to take a new vaccine because even if they were safe and effective my family is low rush and the long term consequences unknowable. It was obvious by December they increased risk immensely from Covid in the first few days. By May/ June it was clear they didn’t work.
Watching so many blindly follow made me look in the mirror and re-access my position on childhood vaccines. I realized on others I didn’t know the true risk/ benefit calculation. No more shots for my kids, my husband, or myself. We’ll look at things like Shingles on an individual basis. My kids’ eyes have been open and they can make their own choices when they become adults.
I reflexively dismissed RFK Jr the way so many dismissed the GBD and FLCCC. I was wrong. I’d rather learn from my mistakes than repeat them.
