Jonas Salk also developed the polio vaccine and he could have patented it and made himself an overnight billioniare but he chose not to.

But what are vaccines?

We have an understndable tendancy to not trust the unknown.

Unfortunately doctors fuck up enough to make one and all harbour some doubt about anything in the medicine arena.

Of course with the arrival of covid-19 in 2020 a global pandemic has been declared and our lives have literally been thrust into the hands of medico’s and politico’s on an unprecendented scale.

Governments wanting to assert more control over their populaces have undoubtedly used this as a means to exercise much more power than would normally be considered acceptable. We’ve witnessed the protests.

Vaccines seem to be a rally point for most of these anti lockdown, anti state taking away our freedoms type marches.

So where does harbouring a loathing for vaccines come from and is it justified?

The answers to these two questions is easy to come to, we loathe what we do not understand and whether vaccines are justifed or not is spoken for in the numbers.

When smallpox was finally eradicated in 1979, it had already killed an estimated 300–500 million people in the 20th century.

Anti-vaxxers are often what one would call lateral or out of the box type thinkers. I consider myself among there number.

While I never doubted the moon landing I am suspicious that 9/11 could have been influenced by internal US goings on… did the US president order it? Hardly. Is it possible a wayward CIA training program indirectly led to their training… who knows but in here somewhere I do give the conspiracy theorists some credit.

But the line has to be drawn somewhere between the fakes news and the ‘fake’ news. 5g network did not cause c-19 for example. The flat earth society have members all around the globe… At some point we all have to agree on a reality. We might take it in different flavours in some regards.

Some believe in money, some believe in aliens, some believe in power – many focus a lot on procreation and consuming but these should all just be different flavours of the same unifying reality.

Like the space age never put lie to the flat earth society a global pandemic has not put lie to the anti-vaxx brigrade who have stood up and yelled louder about fake science.

The same who will deny climate change.

The same who think you can double down on being wrong against mother nature.

The same who always sit on the wrong side of history.

If you deny science and denouce reality there is no other way to put it other than to say your a nut job.
