"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.

From the article:

“ At present, many conservative elected leaders in the US House of Representatives actively promote this health freedom anti-vaccine agenda, as do several US senators, sitting governors and federal judges.”

Lol, if only. Please name the states these anti-vax Congresscritters represent so I know where to move.

Peter Hotez. The same scumbag that questioned the safety of the jabs, then sung their praises two months later, just before his department won a $75 million grant from Fauci and the NIAID.

Well funded!? - what planet is he living on? Anyone know of a substack "brought to you by Pfizer" ?

in this paper Christine Grady the head of bioethics at the NIH and the "Bonnnie" to Dr Fauci's "clyde" explains that it is ethically acceptable for employers to "encourage" their employees to get vaccinated. Dr Grady is in fact Dr Fauci's WIFE since 1985 , yet she lists no conflicts of interests. THis whole paper reads like a Soviet era psychiatric article explaining why people who disagree with Stalin and the Soviet Zeitgeist are in fact crazy and should be relegated to a mental institution. Nothing about this paper is even remotely factually correct or moral and yet... here it is published in a supposed scholarly journal. They even deny that there are any conflicts of interest

well funded? it's a bunch of mothers who have been gas lit and ostracized after their kids were damaged.

if hotez honestly wants to quell vaccine skepticism, he should advocate for ending the liability shield. the vaccine program would then collapse under a tsunami of litigation, but at least the remaining vaccines would be safe and the people harmed would be compensated.

I would hold Hotez responsible for this unfortunate renewed push against *safe and effective* childhood vaccinations. Because he and others pushed and pushed and crammed their rightness on *ineffective and questionably safe* COVID vaccines down everyone's throats, normal blokes are now turning against *all* vaccines. Hotez et al. are to be blamed for that.

The government bred the distrust in themselves with their chronic dishonesty and now they think they can shift the blame to those of us that did not take "that particular shot" and to those that did and were damaged by it. Do they really think we will believe them now?

The government by their gaslighting bs has made people go back and look at the whole issue of vaccines, their safety and their failing and the profit motives of the pHarma industrial complex through the whole current and last century. They are reaping the whirlwind.

Haha, well that's familiar. First they call you delusional, then they call you criminal, then they call you "well-funded and organized" (by BAD people is the subtext). Sigh.

“Well-funded.” 🙄

When I read the NYT about this very thing a month or two ago it listed Ican network as having 6 or 8 million dollars? If people think that is well funded I would love to see them compare to actual Pfizer funding. Speaking of innumeracy.

Quote: "In terms of COVID-19 vaccinations, African nations exhibit the lowest rates globally. Only 8% of the population of Nigeria, 18% of Kenya and 24% of Uganda are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Although access accounts for most of the vaccine inequality, vaccine refusal has become a considerable problem, according to some reports."

Funny how those African countries have handled covid better than heavily "vaxxed" countries such as Israel, Canada, etc.

Seems some people really don't like it when the public becomes self aware and starts asking questions of questionable drugs. "Seek and ye shall find". In my opinion, an informed population that questions things is the right way for a democratic society to function. If that makes these medical fascists and psychopaths nervous, even better.

Anti-vaccine activism for the WIN!

I’d say most people were apathetic towards vaccines until 2020. I know I never gave them much thought, just gave both my kids the regular schedule of them as prescribed. Now if I could do it all over I’m not sure I would have given them hardly any of them. My eyes have been opened to the sheer fraud and corruption of pharma companies and government health agencies. And is it just me or is every other commercial on tv(I only watch baseball games on tv) for some pharmaceutical??? For every affliction known to man or woman??? Depression, blood pressure, hiv, erectile dis function, arthritis, I mean it’s endless. I have to mute the tv..what the fuck is going on???
