I’m not going to downvote you - that’s mostly just silly - but I’m not sure you’re really helping the case for blanket indiscriminate admission of such a vaccine, and possibly better illustrating the folly of such a public health approach.
This.
That's the whole point. The guy you responded to is an unusual case. In his (and his son's) unusual case, the shot made sense. Does it make sense for the average person? Not necessarily. Probably not, actually.
One thing that is amusing to me is that there have been groups of people saying the same thing RFK is saying about vaccines now for at least 50 years, and for all the same reasons (chiropractors, to name one group), and everyone...EVERYONE, especially the kind of people on this site right now cheering the idea, called them kooks because of it.
Even 10 years ago RFK would have been called a loon and a kook here (don't forget...that guy is still a very leftist Democrat on pretty much every issue. That's why Trump said he wouldn't let him anywhere near energy policy—he's a huge climate change, "we've got to get off fossil fuel" type of guy).
But now rightist populists cheer him as a hero.
My kids are 21 and 24 and we didn't vaccinate either one, because we could read a simple table like the one at the top of this thread and draw a conclusion from it even when it wasn't a popular fad opinion on the right like it is now.
And yeah, we were kicked out of the first pediatrician's office we took our first child to because of it. We lived in Atlanta and there was one pediatrician who was well known in the community for not screaming at parents and kicking them out of the office for not vaccinating. We heard the word on the street and that's where our kids went. He wouldn't reveal whether this was true or not, but the word on the street was that he hadn't vaccinated his own children (and—at that time, at least—the national statistics showed that pediatricians vaccinated their children at lower rates than the general population, so it was probably true).
And I say 10 years ago RFK would still have been a kook to this board, but it probably is more like 3-4 years ago. When the COVID vaccine came out I tried to point out to people who were still getting every other shot in the universe EXCEPT the COVID shot that the reasons they didn't want to get the COVID shot were also true of every other shot on the schedule.
Saying something is "proven" doesn't mean anything when the vaccination injury reporting is as shady and dishonest as it has always been, which is another thing I used to be called a tin foil hat wearing loon for saying, but which now has become quite fashionable to point out.
Now, all that said, I do acknowledge that vaccines work...on a mass scale. When applied to an entire population, you will have less infectious disease and fewer people will get the diseases because of that.
On an individual level, however, the risk vs reward usually doesn't make sense. And I am making a decision on an individual level.

A time in the past when you could just let year kids run around the neighborhood with their friends and not worry.
I don't know how anyone can still not know this, but kids were in far more danger running around the neighborhood unsupervised in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and (especially) 90s than they are now. Look up the crime statistics over those decades. In the 1950s violent crime was roughly what it is now. It started rising in the 60s.
You just didn't know about all the danger because it wasn't reported on 300 24-hour news stations and tweeted and posted on social media and sent to your phone as an alert.

What a load of horseshite. Pneumococcal vaccine is very safe and effective. It’s one of the first things my doctor recommended when I.got older.
Posted on 2/18/25 at 8:26 am to GatorOnAnIsland
I can see the MMR and polio vaccine AND THAT'S IT
Nothing else

My Doctor fired me Because I wouldn’t get the Pneumococcal vaccine. He told me to go find another doctor because he wouldn’t make enough money from the Govt. unless I get vaccinated. True story.

I don't believe you. No doctor has time to argue over shite like that.

In fairness, you may have been contracting strep infections. FWIW, the pneumovax conveys exactly ZERO immunity to staphylococcus.
If this were true he would not have seen the stark beneficial change he reported.

Doctors reimbursed by managed Medicare plans have plenty of time to argue over shite like that. They get compensated on patient vaccination rates.

I'm as skeptical of the Covid Vax as anyone but those are EXTREMELY disingenuous statistics.
The odds aren't going to look like that in a world where everyone's unvaccinated. Crack open a history book and take a shot every time you read "tuberculosis" and "smallpox"

I had measles as a kid. It must not have been that bad because I don't remember much about it, other than some red bumps and maybe being tired or something.

As I said, the only thing that makes any sense is that the poster is conflating strep and staph.

My allergist recommended this when I was living in New Orleans and getting horrific sinus infections and bronchitis two or three times a year.
I haven't had a sinus infection since. That was four years ago.

My doctor doesn't ask me anymore. He got the flu after getting the vaccine and I mocked him.

Depending on your age you should get it.
