I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

    Modern “medicine” to include vaccines. I used to think it was a benefit to people but not anymore.

    If you’re curious on the subject and wish to see some of the evidence as to why people are seemingly “anti-vax” then start by watching this movie, An Inconvenient Study.

      Might want to flip back, because you’ve been bamboozled.

      "In fact, a spokesperson at Henry Ford Health told journalists seeking comment on the study that it “was not published because it did not meet the rigorous scientific standards we demand as a premier medical research institution.”

      The organization that actually did the study believed that it was flawed for multiple reasons:

      “the study’s main comparisons are tilted. The follow-up time was short and uneven, kids had unequal chances for diagnosis, and the two groups were very different in ways that matter. The methods used did not adequately fix these problems. Because of this, the differences reported in the study do not show that vaccines cause chronic disease.”
