Getting the shots on the child schedule was essential to maintaining liability protection (in the US) after expiry of emergency authorizations. It was thus worth a lot more than just the kids' market segment, and possibly the greatest crime of them all in view of the known + entirely lopsided medical risk/benefit.

.also valid to compare contemporary medical care to that of forty or fifty years ago, but saying "flagrant use of untested vaccines" illustrates, imo, a peculiar type of political discourse that is divorced from knowledge of such things as "snake oil sales", the history of medical research, and Society's need to TRY to achieve a reasonable balance between individual opinion / choice and the greater PUBLIC GOOD. peace.

As I have done my best to rely on information rather than "political discourse" - and looking back 50 and 100 and 150 years, there is a confirmed history of corporate interests that have overshadowed those doctors and scientists who "try" to work for the greater public good. Vaccines have certainly not been tested to standards that would qualify them to be termed, "safe and effective." Just researching the accounts of those who have been harmed, one quickly finds that the pharmaceutical industry has protected itself from oversight, scrutiny and financial damage. Regarding Snake Oil - as with all products, there is a range of quality and effectiveness. Herbal remedies that were in use and very helpful for hundreds of years, were also grouped into this category, allowing for the monopoly on the drug market we now witness. At least the con game is open; for example, some of the most prescribed anti-depressants must reveal on packaging and advertising that they might cause suicidal tendencies. I wish I could be here in 50-100 years when doctors of the future will be scratching their heads considering how that could ever have happened...

.yr perspective might be diffrent if you had ever yourself had whooping cough, mumps, measles (2 types) . . or had nursed a very sick child or watched several die from such now-preventable INFECTIOUS 'diseases' or knew anyone crippled from polio or ___fever or . . one problem is that you and others of similar opinion have little understanding of ALL effects on society as well as on families and individuals. etc.

Dear Friend, Although you might have a different perspective from your experience, I've developed my views as a father whose children faced various health crises, as a health practitioner who has done my best to assist the very ill and dying, and as an investigative reporter who has covered the worst in government behavior. I present a subjective, though informed view, that modern medical care, including the flagrant use of untested vaccines — is in its infancy — and that looking back in one hundred years, many of the assumption made today will make scientists of the future wonder why medicine remained in the dark ages. Again, you are certainly most welcome to disagree, although there is much information and testimony that should raise important questions about doing anything by rote.

Having had this experience too many times, I am sad to know with certainty that my left leaning friends and family would reject this well thought out and well written article within the first two paragraphs. I continue to pray for them. It seems the only thing that could possibly help them come to their senses. We fight a spiritual fight.

While viral infections are real, I agree that parents need to exercise independent judgement on what is best for their children.
