By the way, let's own it.

Let's say, oh, they died of measles.

If that's true, then in 24 years, two kids died of measles.

You know what the death rate is for kids from tetanus, for example?

The risk is that one in every 154 million Americans...

children will die from tetanus.

And if you want to make those odds better with a vaccine, more power to you.

But one in 154 million is pretty damn good odds.

Well, no, once you've got the injury.

You don't have to wait.

If you've got the injury, but you know, this...

There's a ruse here, which is that deep puncture wounds does not mean tetanus.

You've got to search for it.

And as you'll see in this book, the chart that shows the prevalence of tetanus in the world is an interesting one.

But I want to just quickly talk about this because I'm ready for the shit that I'm not a doctor and I shouldn't be saying any of this.

My view is not only should I be saying it, but I should be doing exactly what I've done for my whole career, which is investigating matters and telling the truth.

And I'm not even, by the way, an anti-vaxxer.

I think there's one vaccine I think is a great product, by the way, the BCG vaccine, which is for tuberculosis.

It is used in almost every country on Earth.

It's 100 years old, and it has other health benefits.
