If you are "pro-critical thinking" and "pro-vaccine" you have done absolutely NO research into vaccines. If you had you would see that ALL vaccines harm. Vaccines only benefit the pharma companies who make them and the media companies they pay to advertise them.
Excellent article! Speaking of colleges, I have watched in horror as students in higher education were forced to jab up. I’ll gladly starve them of my support (monetary and otherwise) and tell them why. I warned my children’s alma mater—in a lengthy data-filled email—at the start of last year, and they’re getting nothing unless they shape up.
Alex Lieske echoes a lot of my thinking. Since i am diabetic, I too am now immune-compromised, but even before that, my dad had rheumatoid arthritis. Never once do I remember him pushing away any of us kids when we got sick. His focus was on his health, not what I could do to possibly keep him healthy. I don't remember him masking up and staying in the next room to prevent sickness. His focus was on living life, not preventing sickness.Now that included living as healthy as he could, but he also understood compromise, and that living a life of "safety above all else" would not be a life at all.
My son was vaccine injured 20 years ago. Back then I still thought that our health systems cared about children and would make changes to vaccines/vaccine policy. I'm now more cynical and recognize that these pharmaceutical companies have more in common with the mafia than with health care. Even though some vaccines offer benefits, they are widely oversold and the harms are swept under the rug so that it is very difficult to make informed risk/benefit choices. Several are now cultured in human cell lines (since 1979) taken from aborted babies ~ to my mind that is immoral in the extreme. I greatly appreciate Alex's measured approach to this topic. I respect his medical decisions, even if I might have made different choices, and I am thankful that he is willing to respect ours.
Technically* so am I. I'd rather be responsible for my own health though and consider all vaccines at all ages to be harmful.
* I think my condition is somewhat overegged by the Pharmaceutical/Medical establishment and that the treatments are more dangerous than the condition.
This captures a frustration I've felt. Most of my life I caught ten times the sicknesses other people did. My report card for kindergarten and several grades after shows I missed an astronmical amount of school due to sickness. In my 20s, a simple cold turned into pneumonia and the antibiotics used for it lead to a new illness. My poor immunity felt like a curse as it greatly affected my life.
Over time I learned doctors didn't have much of use to offer people like me. I learned about natural therapeutics that strengthened my immunity and I cut drastically the amount of time I spent sick.
But when Covid came, I was used to doing so much to protect my health and I thought I might be at higher risk. Since I've learned that strengthening immunity is key, the last thing I wanted was an untried vaccine that could potentially damage the improvement I've gained over time. It seemed crazy to think so short term, for I've learned to pursue incremental gains and to think long term. I'd never get anywhere if I didn't.
What was wrong with these people who were pushing the folks with weak immune systems to do something that could wreck our lives long term while laughing at the idea that early treatment with herbs and repurposed meds might give us the edge we so needed?
It seemed diabolical.
I also got frustrated with the people who made Covid seem like nothing. For me there was no way that would be true. Though I've had far worse, Covid was a miserable sickness. Being prepared helped and I was never in anything close to danger. But what if I hadn't known there were so many options to lessen severity? It is unbelievable what a disservice the media and government agencies did to immune compromised people. They used them to manipulate the world while callously leaving them in the cold. Countless died or were vaccine injured or long-covid injured needlessly.
"As an immunocompromised individual, I NEVER asked for this, and there are millions like me. It’s not the government’s job to protect my health; it’s the government’s job to protect my freedom, liberties, and rights."
Anyone have any idea what happened to @jeanrees10 on Twitter? She did amazing math and document analysis on vaccines and she seems to have been disappeared from Twitter.
I appreciate his appropriate sentiments. However, I feel the need to urge him and all to look into the dangers of vaccines more. And then even more.
If you are "pro-critical thinking" and "pro-vaccine" you have done absolutely NO research into vaccines. If you had you would see that ALL vaccines harm. Vaccines only benefit the pharma companies who make them and the media companies they pay to advertise them.
Spot on regarding the role of government!

A most rational piece about covid vaccination and more importantly the right of parents to care for their family's health.
