Yeah, I feel like the biggest issue with vaccines and kind of our centralized medical system in general is the lack of informed consent around different procedures and products.
And just, you know, the fact that basically patients are educated about the potential risks and downsides to taking these where they're not getting the full picture, essentially.
And It's also kind of interesting to see how like the political pendulum has swung in kind of an opposite direction as it has in the past.
Like in the past, I feel like the people who were more concerned or like aware of the potential issues with vaccines were like considered far left or like hippies.
And now it's kind of swung to the opposite direction where it's like vaccine deniers or whatever are considered like far right.
It's kind of like you're going to get demonized for it and you shouldn't be asking these questions because they're inconvenient.
So I am very skeptical of the, you know, kind of the standard paradigm in medicine.
And mostly because, like you were mentioning, my own personal lived experiences.
And I took like I think it was the second round of the Tdap vaccine in that grade.
I was homeschooled for a year just because I kept getting sick and my weight exploded during that time.
And reflecting back on that time over the past few years, I can't rule out that that could have been a causal factor or like the straw that broke the camel's back, for example.
