And sometimes, you know, the vaccine schedule will change. The standard set will change. And when there are new vaccines in the mix, the HPV vaccine, for example, or the COVID vaccine and COVID boosters of recent years, then, you know, there's real discussion. Well, this booster, should it be recommended for people of all ages or only older people?

Should there be, you know, different guidance for young men, let's say, given that there's some evidence of some adverse heart-related effects for young men who take the mRNA vaccines? So then there's no, you know, business as usual. There's discussion and debate and decisions are made, right?

There's another part of it which I should mention also, which is the federal government administers something called the Vaccines for Children Program, which provides something like half of the immunizations for children in the country. That's a multibillion-dollar program. That's just another place where if you had vaccine skeptics in control, who knows what might happen.

Yeah, vaccination rates for children have increased pretty dramatically since the early 90s. And that's largely due to this program. And the issue, again, it's not like there were lots of vaccine skeptical parents in the early 90s. who have now been converted to the proper way of thinking, in quotes.

No, it's just that there were a lot of children who didn't have access to vaccines, and now they do because of the Vaccines for Children program.

Yeah. Like I said, it's kind of uncharted territory. It's hard to know how these things will play out, right? You know, at the level of the CDC recommendations, if there was just a dramatic shift in what was being recommended, how would the system respond? it's really hard to imagine, right?

Because I think you would still have most doctors in the country believing that these vaccines were extremely important for their patients. You would still have most parents believing that. I mean, the large majority of parents strongly endorse the value of vaccines and many, many local health officials. So I don't know. I mean, it's It's hard to say.
