re: Holding off on vaccinations for kids for now

Vaccinating kids against COVID is idiotic.

Maybe there isn’t. They just have to name something to placate and Autism is the thing these days. 20 years ago it was ADHD. They are trying to normalize it like it’s no big deal.

You don't possess the requisite knowledge required for my explanation to make any sense.

I know you think you've got some 'gotcha' here because numbers but please use some common sense about where your own knowledge falls short.

The US vaccine schedule for young children has X requirements. There are multiple countries in Europe that are often hailed as wonderful that have like .4X. One of the questions RFK is asking is: what are we missing here? What are THEY missing? Do you have any rational answer?

Bingo. Now let’s do acceptable ingredients in food. That is even worse!

you just have to do your research at this point

Could you explain to me what 'doing your own research' means to you?

The more specific you can be about what your own research involves the better.

We were told the vaccine would prevent transmission and they lied.

Children are not high risk, the left is just a bunch of chickenshits who would gladly hurt kids to further their politics.

Eating fresh foods is probably a big part of your family's health. As far as reasoning from personal experience to diagnoses, though, I've unfortunately had to learn too many times to be humble. An instructive example the time when I told my wife I thought our 2-month-old son had some scoliosis that I'd noticed in the bathtub. I was out of residency by this time, but my 3 months in peds was obviously not enough because my son's pediatrician offered a kind reassurance that it was normal, which it's clear was correct now almost 15 years later. Getting more info from people who have more expertise and knowledge is just good practice. People who are doing vaccines a la carte without consulting real experts open themselves up to getting information from people like "heavy metal detox and diatomaceous earth" lady who won't talk about why she believes the experts she believes.

Yes, we can.

As far as I can tell you can't think for yourself but will push out any line that authority tells you. Anybody that doesn't know what it means to do your own research means youre a sheep. You can attack the messenger but never the message.

Please have some self awareness about where your own gaps in knowledge are. It's not a weakness to have gaps, everyone does. No one can be an expert in everything.

Exactly right, although everybody should be able to justify why they defer to the authorities they do and why. We can't all have domain-specific knowledge of everything and our own experiences are limited and come with their own problems with interpretation. The issue of when/why to defer & when to trust your own judgement is one of the biggest challenges of living in a world of abundant info.
