And the authoritative sources tend to carry the day if people are, and I don't mean it to be too mean, but I want people to hear it, if they're lazy.

Because if you're a parent, vaccine is not a single product.

It's not a brand.

It's a whole bunch of different things that each have different risk profiles and each have different benefits.

Take polio.

There's six different polio vaccines on the market.

Are they all the same?

Of course not.

You got to choose, right?

Or you go to the pediatrician and the pediatrician tries to give you your, you know, MMR vaccine or the flu vaccine is a better example.

Flu vaccines still had mercury in them until Bobby Kennedy.

And they lied and said they took it out in 2001 of all childhood vaccines.

On the same page, it says, except for some flu vaccines.

So there were six flu vaccines.

And their defense was, oh, well, parents can choose if they want it with mercury or without mercury.

This is like comedy.

The pediatrician doesn't ask you whether you want it with mercury or without mercury.

And what parent would say, oh, I'll take it.

Give me the one with mercury.

I'll take that one.
