David, point well taken, and perhaps my thinking anti-vaccine is a little
provincial...for here in the lush clean environmentally safe, overabundance
of food and clean water and all the sources of health at you fingertips
(that does nont include medicine outside of crisis emergency needs) the need
for vaccines is not real...in Biafra, African somalia, Ethiopia where
children may be lacking the essentials to an adequate immune system, so be
the vaccines.
Time and a place...you are correct. I stand narrow minded isolated out here
in Paradise.
