Given what they are doing, I'm not surprised at this push.

When I tried to get a Tetanus booster as I had reached the end of mine and suspected I had a potential infection coming on, from an extremely dirty and rusty 90 year old nail accident, I had a battle royal with the practise to get it. In the end, after telling me "it would not work", "I did not need it", "they don't give it to anyone except at risk now because three injections give lifetime immunity", I managed to force them to give it to me.

That's when I found out that they no longer give Tetanus on it's own. It's a triple with polio and diphtheria. I had nausea (one of the side effects), for 2 months! Needless to say it worked, the infection receded and I'm now set up for the next 8 years or so.

But if this is the kind of "information" going around the medical profession, I'm hardly surprised at what is going on with vaccinations. When I had my previous Tetanus, in France, they actually tested me. I had absolutely no protection and I'd already had my initial Tetanus, a booster in the Army and a booster later in Scotland. The one in France was my third booster and the last one was my fourth.

They'll push no end of vaccines into babies but if you are over 21 you are not on their program....

Vaccines, per se, are not the problem, but public perception is. Covid is seen to have been rushed = poor science.

In addition to the ones I mentioned, which are routinely given to infants, we also had mumps and measles; German measles and chickenpox were only given when there were outbreaks.

We (the public) are also confusing drugs (Thalidomide) with anti viral and anti bacterial vaccines. The perfect storm mix.

Only because they won't research for themselves and the press confuse the hell out of them.

So, how do we overcome that? (Un)Social media! It has now become the place to go for 'information' on all things.

Yep but that is not certified info and the BS ratio is high as your '' denote. If people don't want to educate themselves they are highly unlikely to head for Google Scholar. So are fair game for any (Un)Social media scam.
