And the reality of it is that it is very unlikely for your kid to get polio.

And let's look at mumps, by the way.

So mumps, you'll find a CBS story online that shows that they say most mumps cases are in vaccinated children.

Then you dig a little deeper.

What does most mean?

Ninety four percent.

So now you've got a vaccine that doesn't stop mumps.

I mean, would you take any other product where they say, you know, this will help you to whatever your sickness is?

Ninety four percent of the time it won't.

But you might be one of that lucky six percent.

The point is that I think I believe as a parent myself, the parents have to look at each product individually and decide how likely is it my kid is going to get this thing.

And what are the consequences of trying it with COVID?

It's so easy.

With the COVID vaccine, your child stands zero benefit and just might die, right?

And so that's the easiest equation in history.

Like, I'm not willing to have an easier case of COVID for my 14-year-old and maybe, even though I'm admitting it's very remote, and I mean very remote, but maybe have the kid die or have the kid have myocarditis.

and die in five years from it.

I mean, the number of athletes that drop dead in play during games, I'm talking about high school athletes, is higher than it has ever been in the world.

And they say, oh no, it always happened.

Well, I studied that in my last book.
