Smart people will still get their kids vaccinated. The not so smart well we all know about Darwin, right.

As I've said here before, my great grandmother had thirteen pregnancies and only three children lived to adulthood. That haunted my grandmother her whole life.

Is this not the plan? They killed off thousands in UK by putting untested old people back into care homes during the Covid pandemic.

In doing my family tree, I saw that a great-uncle died at two months old of pertussis and his sister died of tuberculosis at the age of 22. This year, there was two month old infant at our Thanksgiving celebration so I made sure I got the tdap vaccine in September.

If you do any genealogical work it is painful to read. So many died in infancy and child hood. I have no idea how those mothers managed to go on living when so many of their babies died.

No one forgot. They’ve chosen this.

Every anti-vaxxer should be made to walk through an old Cemetery and see all the graves of children, and realize their refusal to vaccinate their children will have deadly consequences
