Nope, the libertian invented those who have always sided with the right Also your post makes no sense, some random leftist ranting online is same as an anti vacciner being in charge of health secretary of the country? What kind of logic is this Whenever the right conservative have come to power they have always dragged humanity back, set back science and progress by decades. This is the pattern we have seen every single time in history The conspiracy theorists who came up with evil vaccines came from the celebs left liberals. Search for Jenny McCarthy.

LIke...autism isnt deadly. Polio, rubella, mumps, etc. are. I find it hard to justify chosing 'my child may die if i dont do this, even if its rare' over 'my child may be socially awkward and have behaviour & survival issues, even if its rare'. Thats...just how i am wired sorry, i choose 'yes' to 'child alive' option every single time and go for removing the -ve modifiers in terms of deadly diseases from the list. Thats...just not being a moronic dehati in my book. Like even facking Susruta talks of some sort of contageon and how to avoid diseaes that are deadly,this....isnt a seller in our species re: how to raise kids.

No one tells you how tough it is to be a parent. We feel guilty even when you couldnt have done anything. Yes I agree, there is always someone famous who has some radical opinion for every topic.
BacktoCricaddict Posted February 5 Author Posted February 5 (edited) Folks, this is where science comes in. There are rigorous methods of observation and statistical analysis that are used to determine causation. And the vaccine-autism hypothesis has been soundly rejected when scrutinized using scientific analysis. Autism is a complex multi-genic phenomenon that may never have a straightforward explanation. Unfortunately, we are not wired to handle such uncertainty and are always looking for a simple Yes/No explanation, and people like RFK Jr. confidently plug in whatever nonsense they want. This gives people a sense of control and hope. He has made a career out of being a predatory American trial lawyer, who preys on people's (especially mothers') fears. Here is a classic example of how this works: Edited February 5 by BacktoCricaddict Prakat and Mariyam 2

The global wellness industry was worth $6.3 trillion in 2023, but it continues to contain darker elements, with cases of people manipulating and hurting those seeking holistic therapies. Only recently, in December, Hongchi Xiao, an alternative healer, was convicted of manslaughter after a 71-year-old diabetic woman stopped taking her insulin while on a retreat he was running; and in 2024, the Brazilian wellness influencer Kat Torres was found guilty in 2024 of human trafficking and slavery.

How about freedom from willfull ignorance and cruelty? https://open.substack.com/pub/pauloffit/p/the-medical-freedom-movement?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=9138n During the hearings for SB277, one little boy walked up to the microphone. His name was Rhett Krawitt. Only seven years old, Rhett was suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Because he couldn’t be vaccinated, Rhett needed to be surrounded by people with a high level of immunity to the virus. That way he could hide in the herd. “I have leukemia,” said Rhett. “I can’t be vaccinated. I depend on you to protect me. Don’t I count?” According to RFK Jr. and the medical freedom movement, the answer is clearly, “No, Rhett. You don’t.” Prakat 1
