I was looking for a place to put this because I think it’s important:

I think Kennedy is right about vaccines. They need a new batch of people testing the vaccines in a new way. Out with the old cult.

This is just an expression of my hesitancy.

We were vaccinated and vaccinated our kids with the old vaccines. The idea that they didn’t work or caused harm never occurred. Covid changed all.
They claimed the vaccine would only work if everybody took it. Why do I need to take a vaccine to stop you from getting measles? Herd immunity. But if the vaccine works, then I should suffer measles and you should watch, smugly.

If they’re going to force vaccination then I want actual proof. It turns out that their placebo is the old vaccine. The placebo is never nothing. It’s considered immoral to actually test a vaccine. I smell a rat. Much as I hate the ambulance chasers, Kennedy included, this looks like a cult is in charge of checking whether our medicine is safe. I don’t trust them. I don’t want another vaccine as long as I live. If they fix it I may change my mind. Or I may decide to take my chances. I’m happy to let people take whatever they want for themselves. No studies necessary.

Because not everyone can take the vaccine for measles, and breakthrough infections happen even for the vaccinated without herd immunity. It’s also children this vaccine is for, unless you haven’t been vaccinated.

So as soon as not enough children are given the measles vaccine, etc, breakthrough infections and outbreaks will start to happen for them.

As a child I had Measles, Mumps and Rubella. Also chickenpox. How did I survive?

Press release from April, the shingles vax is highly effective! New long-term data show Shingrix continues to provide high protection against shingles in adults aged 50 and over for more than a decade

The results from ZOSTER-049, an extension from two phase III clinical trials in adults aged 50 and over (ZOE-50 and ZOE-70), include:1
79.7% vaccine efficacy (VE) in adults aged ≥50 cumulatively within the period from year six to year 11 after vaccination (95% CI 73.7–84.6)
82.0% VE in adults ≥50 at year 11 (95% CI 63.0–92.2), showing VE remains high in each year after vaccination
73.1% VE in adults aged ≥70 cumulatively from six to 11 years after vaccination (95% CI 62.9–80.9) showing high VE rates across all age groups

Yeah I’m going to take that vaccine.

Vaccines probably have the best risk vs. reward calculation of any drug, supplement, or lifestyle intervention.

Hepatitis A (UK biobank data), pneumococcal (pneumonia is a highly prevalent cause of death in the oldest old), tdap (seems highly protective against PD), flu (strong signal for a variety of morbidities), just a few to get started :slight_smile:

Just a friendly reminder to get your flu vaccine! I just got mine a few minutes ago (Sanofi).

Stay healthy!

This table is concerning. Only a 5 month improvement for Alzeimers,( I had assumed more), but a whopping 7.5 months worse for Frontotemporal dementia. - and look at those error bars- you could develop frontotemporal dementia almost 1 1/2 yrs earlier than if you didnt receive the vaccine. I will need to puruse the article for clarity.
I will dig up last years data - it specifically stated that seniors getting any vaccine regularly, prevented alzeimers from herpes (for years if i recall). The stimulation of general immunity keeps the herpes virus confined to the trigeminal and dorsal root ganglia in the elderly. I also recall that herpes vaccine in particular didnt help a lot. The current multiple covid vaccines that seniors receive may have a huge dent in future alzeimers
