69. What I say to them is "I believe in Medical Science

Wed May 7, 2025, 04:37 PM

May 2025

and I go to Mayo clinic.com, and do what they say"...
"If you don't believe in Medical Science--OK, where exactly

Also, I ask "are all vaccines bad?"
Or just the ones you've been told to hate?
Is the Flu vaccine bad?
Pneumonia?... Shingles? Polio? We wiped out Polio long
ago, do you want that back?
We wiped out Measles 55 years ago, do you want that back?
Rubella? Whooping cough?
