I remember being given vaccinations in the early 50’s. Always got sick as a dog. Had Rubella and Whooping Cough anyway. Had my children vaccinated and the middle kid got chicken pox. And gave them to me. Yes. I’d been vaccinated.
We were friends with a family three doors away. The son who was my age came down with polio about six weeks before Jonas Salk’s vaccine went into production. I appreciated vaccines, believe me. For the last fifteen or twenty years I’ve grown wary of them. Something went wrong.
But I was addressing your statement “There’s a reason. There always is.”
It’s just like the criminal elite to create a problem and provide a solution. Because of nanomedicine and vaccines this one could be designed to be the Final Solution for a whole passel of US. A very discrete Final Solution.
Maybe not in the immediate future but soon enough if Obama lays the rails for mandatory vaccines successfully and the high level Republican political performers climb into the cab of the train with him.
