It sounds like you are skeptical of vaccine uptake. You have hesitancy. Did you have this hesitancy and skepticism ten years ago? Twenty? Are you alone in this hesitancy?

Usually when something bad comes to light the people who want to fix it say "fix it" and the people who don't say "more study is needed." RFK published a (retracted) study in Salon saying "we should study whether vaccines cause autism" and we did. Hundreds of studies. All of which said "nope, vaccines don't cause autism." Measles came back, an entire movement erupted but we now know for sure that vaccines don't cause autism.

And yet. Despite every bit of study we've had saying "vaccines good" we've got people who just don't wanna hear it. Which, frankly, should maybe be studied.

Unless you don't want the answers on record.

This one move regarding shit in our food supply is cover for Dickey Amendment bullshit related to vaccines. And you know it.
