Who ever came up with this nonsense and why does anyone believe it?? And a friend of this guy said he wasn't getting the vaccine because he refused "to be a guinea pig." All of our lives we've gotten vaccines. I even remember getting a couple of them right in school, but I was a kid so I can't say what they were. But we know that they prevent disease. What's so different about this one? Don't kids have to get vaccines before they can attend school? A few years back, a friend of mine returned to college and she had to get the MMR vaccine before she was allowed to attend classes. This is not a new idea.

This guy is normally pretty smart and sensible, but he's off the wall about the vaccine. Rhiannon12866 Aug 2021 #9

Maybe things will change when FDA approval changes from "emergency" lamp_shade Aug 2021 #6

I agree, it's gone too far. They've already made up their minds and will no doubt view approval Rhiannon12866 Aug 2021 #8

If it gets approved too fast, a lot of people still won't buy it. Cinnamonspice Aug 2021 #11

I keep telling people there were already guinea pigs. Cinnamonspice Aug 2021 #10
