CDC's method underestimates Vaccine Induced Myocarditis
Vinay, It is too bad you do not read this. Many of us will not/do not listen to podcasts; we are visual, not aural learners and have trouble abiding the inefficiency of minute for minute information exchange.
But we never want to miss your content. You can get auto-transcribers (most Substack authors have them) that, while not perfect, are good enough to transcribe the podcasts so they are fully understandable. Most podcasters post the transcriptions simultaneously with the podcasts -- they do not really need editing...we know the kinds of minor mistakes they may make.
It would greatly increase your reach and that would only be a good thing. Thanks.
I like her penultimate statement, look at the DATA and never mind all the rest. Sadly, the final statement broke that rule.
Looking at measles data pre and post MMR vaccine simply does not show any massive change in rates. I'm only mid 50s and had all 4 of the common childhood illnesses of the 60s 70s. In a school cohort of 2000 kids, there was not one single sequelae.
It's dishonest to fear-monger at the MMA vaccine being so crucial in life. It isn't. Measles, Chickenpox, Mumps, German measles. Their effect on quality of life in the western world was very close to zero BEFORE the MMR came to be. Let's stop the fear-mongering.
In fact, these illnesses have the side benefit of creating synchronised societal immunity and reexposures keeps peoples immune systems active, as with the shingles, it was kept at bay by reexposure. Today in the school systems, children have traded no those measley viruses for much bigger LIFE LONG problems, food sensitivities, multiple allergies, food intolerances, life intolerances, asthma, various immune conditions, kids must live in a bubble because their immune system is SO HYPER SENSITIVE. A full half of students these days have these lifelong problems. Let's advocate for small diseases to be ok, they make us stronger.
As for polio, that's ONE eradication attempt I agree with, because polio created a very high ratio of lives ruined. But the other viruses, no, they were simply never really an issue and should never have been subjected to mandates.
