    I did an essay on vaccines in Jr. High, 20-25 years ago. I was writing a persuasion essay and I chose vaccines. I always try to provide views from both sides… even back then. As a child, in fucking Jr. High, I found Andrew Wakefield’s study that linked autism and vaccines, found all the evidence against it, found out he lost his medical license for it, and realized “wow, there really is no argument against vaccines. These people are fucking idiots!” Again at the age of 12 ish… fucking anti-vaxxer dipshits…

      Vaccines are good as long as they are proven to work, and as long as they are effective enough to be worth the side effects and risks. Big pharma needs to be held accountable and kept honest, because they would definitely try to sell you vaccines that are not necessary or not effective if they could get away with it. It shouldn’t be an all or nothing question.
