Yes, vaccines are the most significant medical advance in history

* cough * vaccines * cough *

o Discovery of germs
o Repairing accident bodily damage
o Discovery of the Insulin Fast cycle

In order to be cool, to fit in, folks want to belong to something that is bigger than themselves. In some cases, (like this) they need the protection of the group.

Yep, it's important to remember that Conservatives move as individuals and Liberals move in herds.

The whole "walkaway" movement is a double-edged sword. That liberals are moving to comparative safety under the Trump Conservative platform is a good thing, temporarily, but it's important to remember that they're fair weather friends. When the winds shift again - and they will, they always do - these people will be on to the next thing that they perceive as providing them shelter.

See posts #4; 10; 18; 40. Having some detail about the transformational mechanism would make me want to read your books. That is all. You tell me, “...don’t comment....”

Your wish has been granted.

I did not say that vaccines were the only significant medical advance, but that they were the most significant one.

Among the many medical advances, only vaccines deliver so much benefit for so little cost.

It would have been more informative if she shared how she transformed from A to B, but she left that part out.

Yes, that is what I was waiting for.

Perhaps the answers are in the four books she wrote that you’d have to buy to find out how she arrived to her enlightened state.

Authors sell low grade books by network posting on the internet. Author seminars say this.

High grade, high quality books, sell themselves.

So please buy my book, "The Idiot's Guide to Book Selling by Posting for Dummies."

A person can live a successful life vaccine free.

But a person cannot live a successful life prevention free, in spite of all advances.

Vaccine benefit is somewhere between limited to non existent.
Bodily accident damage repair is a true medical miracle.

Look out for future #Walkaway to be censored, removed, or bait switched to a different party. ;-)

Defections are the scariest thing for a liberal mover and shaker to contemplate and the left spend’s half it’s propaganda dollars battling potential apostasy. But even scarier for them is the fact that the defector brings a particular savvy and energy to the life long follow up to their conversion which can, if well utilized, create a wave of defections from the enemy camp. An interesting and potentially intense public debate would be between converts, lol!

Oliver North and the Iran contra scandal woke me up. Anyone else have a conversion story?

I had been disillusioned with the Democrat party since the Carter era, but the Monica Lewinski affair finally broke the camel's back for me.

If any of my Republican voting coworkers had taken ten minutes to talk to me, I might have jumped ship in the Reagan years. I certainly did give him credit for bringing things around in those years.

Don’t give up hope! We have an obligation to bring the truth, to show them they can walkaway from lies. When truth is the enemy or the source of hostile response, you know for sure that someone is afraid they are believing lies! Their foundation is being rocked, so keep on rocking! Keep shining that light. Keep walking a consistent walk. Saint Francis of Assisi said, “All… should preach by their deeds.” Let your deeds be Truth, let your walk be Liberty. Remember, we all had to wake up somehow. All you have to do is take the first step to truth ...

I'm a former democrat too... NOT easy to get off the plantation but it's sooooooo wonderful to be free...help others make the break when they start seeing the light.

A person can live a successful life vaccine free.

Only if they live in a sterile bubble. Otherwise, they can be exposed to potentially deadly diseases from very ordinary activities.

There are only two ways to develop immunity to an infectious disease. One is by getting the disease. That way is dangerous, as infectious diseases can cause significant and permanent disability or death. Tetanus, for example, is preventable by a vaccine every ten years. Without that vaccine, an incident as random and seemingly innocuous as having a rusty nail pierce your skin can cause you to get an incredibly painful illness that causes all of your muscles to contract and ends in death. And so on; I can go through symptoms and consequences of different vaccine-preventable diseases all day.

The other way to develop immunity is through vaccination, which exposes your immune system to portions of pathogenic organisms that cause it to develop an immune response. In this way, if you are exposed to a pathogen, your immune system immediately attacks and kills the pathogen without you ever being aware you were exposed.

Vaccines have saved countless millions of lives by preventing common diseases that used to kill most children before the age of five. One of the most horrific diseases known was wiped out due to vaccination. Infectious disease is no longer the top killer (still in the top ten, though).

As I said, vaccines are the most important and significant medical development ever.

BTW, if you have not guessed already, I am not susceptible to anti-vax propaganda. The same people who claim that there are too many people on earth and that the population should be reduced to some arbitrarily low number are the same ones trying to scare people with anti-vax hooey. You figure it out.

Thanks for posting that. Just had a chance to show it to my liberal daughter. She was mesmerized and said it was a good video. Which I think was a first at my attempts to redpill. I obviously don’t speak there language and it’s tough to get though. Nice to see people waking up on both sides.

You’re welcome. It needs to be seen and I’m glad it had a positive impression on your daughter.

Yes, people are waking up. Many of the libs who are waking up won’t admit it ..... yet.

Interesting article and I think you’ll see more #Walkaways. As I said earlier, the blue wave is Dems LEAVING the party, not electorally...
