And you know how you prevent the peanut allergy?
Give kids peanuts when they're really young.
And now the recommendation, even from the American Pediatric Association, who are terrible, they're the worst people in the world on vaccine mythology and religiosity, but they finally came around.
They said, don't give peanut butter for like a decade.
We've got all these allergies.
But now they finally, I think, changed their official position saying,
And I think in three months, you're supposed to start introducing peanut butter to your kid.
Why do you think they're the worst when you said they're the worst on that?
It's a blind notion, and it isn't based on risk-benefit analysis or anything.
It's just devotion that you are a good person, but you are also a smart person if you believe.
And they've made the mistake because sometimes they had the first rotavirus vaccine 15 years ago they gave, and then take it off the market because six months later they learned it.
something called intussusception, where the intestines go inside each other, which can be a real problem for a child, was happening more often with a vaccine.
They had to pull the vaccine.
But vaccines are like anything else.
It's like you and I would sit down and we'd talk about your drugs, and I'd talk about the side effects of each one, what your disease is, and what we can do.
Like, I'm not completely... Like, for example, with the COVID vaccine, I don't think children should take it because I think the risk of the heart inflammation is greater than the chance of the disease.
Early on, they said for old people and overweight people that reduced hospitalization and death.
