How do we bridge that divide to bring honesty back and trust back in the system and to hear what concerns parents have and not to vilify them or to call them anti-vax, but to listen to what their concerns are so that way we can address those concerns, get the research that we need to either disprove what they're saying or to make some changes to make the vaccine safer, whatever it is.

But we're vilifying people for talking about it. And that creates this system where people don't want to do anything with medicine anymore. They don't want to go to doctors. They don't trust anything. And that is bad. Look at the COVID vaccine rates right now. I mean, you're talking like 10% for kids getting the vaccine this year. with a recommendation from the CDC.

That means that people don't trust the CDC anymore. If half of kids are getting flu shots and 10% are getting COVID shots and 20% of adults are getting COVID shots, then there's this distrust of the things that the CDC are recommending.

And if we don't trust what they're saying, it's like the boy who cried wolf. What happens next year or the year after where something does come out that we need to be listening to and everybody decides, eh, I don't trust the CDC. They don't know what they're talking about.

It's such a problematic setup for safety and research. It's great that we have more vaccines. I mean, that's a good thing. We want to protect against diseases that we can protect against.
