Shortly after the Trump administration removes the requirement for military personnel to get the flu shot, there is a flu outbreak among recruits.
Vaccines are a part of having the most proficient fighting force. A force vulnerable to a virus is a weaker force compared to one that is less vulnerable.
Flu outbreaks disrupt and weaken training when a large number of recruits are sick.

An army more vulnerable to the flu, in both training and war, is a weaker army compared to one less vulnerable to the flu.

Early on when Covid was spreading in Asia, it was clear that hospitals that wore masks had lower spread of Covid than those that did not.
Although older people were much more likely to die from Covid, lots of middle-aged people died too.
Operation Warp Speed saved millions of lives.
USAID saved millions of lives a year. Donald Trump and Elon Musk destroyed it.

Vaccine skeptics go to a debate about vaccines and don’t understand the sources they brought up to prove their point.

Measles cases in the US have reached their highest number in almost 30 years. This is likely because people are not getting vaccinated.

“The HHS stressed on Monday that all 17 vaccines, including those no longer recommended for all children, will still be covered at no out-of-pocket cost to patients by government and private health insurance plans.”

“In dropping government recommendations Monday that children routinely receive shots for four diseases, Kennedy’s allies believe they are closer to realizing a top priority: a country in which people who claim vaccine injuries can more easily sue vaccinemakers for millions in civil court.
Manufacturers of those vaccines would no longer be shielded from liability, the plan’s proponents assert, and could be driven from the market amid an influx of lawsuits alleging injuries from their products. In that scenario, the anti-vaccine movement would have a high-profile opportunity to shape the public narrative about childhood shots in courts nationwide.
Kennedy and Health and Human Services Department officials announced that longstanding recommendations that children receive flu, meningitis, hepatitis A and rotavirus vaccines were downgraded to a category known as “shared clinical decisionmaking,” meaning patients are encouraged to confer with health care providers before getting the shots.
In all, the number of “routine” vaccine recommendations — which assume vaccination as the default — have now been cut by a third, from 18 to 11, since 2024.”

Our inability to figure out what’s real is an important social problem. We are being driven crazy by our technology.

Donald Trump said he lied about public health during Covid in order to prevent a panic. He said he played down the deadliness of Covid in order to not create a panic.

In rare cases, modern vaccines have negative side effects, and under normal law, people can sue and sympathetic juries can reward huge sums of money. This would make vaccines unprofitable, and without vaccines many many people would die from a variety of diseases. Instead, in the 1980s, we set up a parallel system for vaccines where people with negative side effects can get a payment, but not an exorbitant sum from a normal lawsuit. This system is underfunded and understaffed and could use reform to keep up with claims, but throwing the system out risks for-profit vaccine companies ending the production of vaccines, resulting in many deaths. So, the system is needed, unless the government chooses to manufacture vaccines themselves. People can still sue vaccine manufacturers for negligence, but that is hard to prove.
