I remember when Andrew Wakefield (along with RFK, Jr.) was skewered (Good Morning America, Today Show) for his observation that the vaccination schedule (which had more to do with the timing of vaccine administration) for young children (birth to age 3) could relate to autism.
The mass media and the Powers that Be put a cap on vaccination as related to autism. The public-private partnership prevailed. The world continued. Programs developed. Public education began dealing with a new reality (higher numbers of children testing as autistic to varying degrees.)
In the modern era, Wakefield was one of the first renowned and outspoken medical doctors to be cancelled. Lost his license to practice. Most interesting about this interview is that he did not give up. He kept on the mission, because he had the evidence (the receipts) from treating patients within his speciality (GI).
Fast forward to today, massively and pervasively, we will run out of caregivers because they (we) (Silent Generation, Boomers, Xers, Early Millennials), who were not subject to the aggressive vaccine schedules, will age out. Then what happens?
Employing AI-driven robots, one answer. Or, scientific discovery which extracts our bodies of artificially-created and administered ills, reinforcing our God-given biological drivers. We should consult the communities (Amish) who never vaxed on religious grounds.
Not everything is justified by randomized controlled investigation. (Most would not have the patience to read Turtles All the Way Down: The Vaccine Science and Myth) to really drill down into the conduct of these studies. As someone who did this type of dissection in another field, for a living, I learned all kinds of things about truth, narratives, data manipulation, executive summaries v. actual text. Too often we never question authority. It shaped me to become the skeptic I have been most of my life.)
I think. I believe. I pray. America is going to wake up. Stop sorting us into bins, then throwing out the ones who do not agree with conventional wisdom. Pick any subject. You will find the same outcome until society catches up and the results become overwhelmingly intolerable.
At the root of it all, Americans are pioneers, individuals who band together around an idea. A new idea. You tell me, Is a needle in the arm of an infant a new idea?
