measles mumps rubella smallpox polio these are devastating diseases and especially if you have a kid that's going to go to daycare where they're going to be around a lot of kids and the risk of transmission if there's an outbreak is non-trivial so again we want to eradicate smallpox and polio mmr probably don't get eradicated but we want to protect kids against them

And Hep B strikes me as something like, I don't think we need to do that right away, but I'd like to see it studied. So that's kind of three extreme examples of how to think about this. But as you can tell, given that it just took me 10 minutes to explain those three things at a superficial level, nobody wants to have this discussion. They just want to be black or white.

Are you pro-vax or are you anti-vax? What about neither? I have a nuanced approach to every single one of these if you're willing to sit down for three hours. Yeah, yeah.

Well, and the other thing, to your point, is some kids are going to have no problem. They're going to sail right through it. But you don't know if that's your kid. I mean, at the end of the day, you're sort of – your goal is to figure out what's the best thing for your kid and whatever you can do to kind of minimize that risk.

And of course, the doctor is looking back at you and your wife saying, yeah, look, we're not opposed to spreading this out, but how do I know we're going to keep you on schedule? Now, there's also some nefarious stuff that I understand why it takes place, but the optics of it are really problematic. And that is that Medicaid reimburses physicians for vaccinations.

So you'll hear that, and people who are really in the anti-vaccine camp will point at that and say that's a blatant conflict of interest. And the answer is, it is and it isn't. It's not at all uncommon for Medicare and Medicaid to reimburse physicians

to incentivize them to provide good care to patients right so just as if you have high blood pressure and you're on medicare you might have a physician who's being reimbursed if they can control your blood pressure better that's viewed as a win-win your life is better because when your blood pressure is lower there's less chance of a heart attack or stroke

The medical system is better off because you're now going to cost the system less money by not having a heart attack or a stroke. And they want to reward the physician by saying, here's an extra $100 because you managed to get Sean's blood pressure down. So everybody agrees that that's kind of a good system.
