Yeah. Kennedy went to Samoa in 2019 and suggested to the prime minister that they stop a vaccination campaign and instead just give everybody vitamin A. Unfortunately, it left some 80-something children dead in its wake, thousands others sickened, and was a terrible tragedy there. Wow.

So the idea that I'm not going to do something that's unnatural, that if I just do things the good way, the natural way, that is what will see me through. And I am strong now, and my kid is safe now. And if I don't do anything, then that is what will work. And I'm very crunchy. Like I gave birth in a pool. I do not take Tylenol. Like I'm a crunchy person.

So like I very much get the impulse towards like the natural, but you're right. There is a disconnect of what we know in this age of enlightenment where we know about medicine and we know the things that it does. And so you have to really close the door. You have to say, I'm not going to think about that. I'm only going to look at these the things that complement my worldview.

In terms of how short our memory is, in the late 80s, early 90s, there was a measles outbreak. Huge. It killed children. And what happened from that was the federal government said, whoa, we have to make sure that we provide free vaccines to every child. And so they created this federal program called the Vaccines for Children Program. It's wildly successful.

And so we talk a lot about the parents who don't want to get their children vaccinated, but we probably don't talk enough about... the parents who don't have access to vaccinations.

There are a wide group of people that we can reach and that want vaccines, you know, and they are supported by this federal program that is supported by health departments, local and state health departments, which have just been gutted $11.4 billion and with major cuts to this program.
