As one who has been recently told by two different doctors -- one a neurologist and one a primary care doctor (neither an anti-vaccer) -- "You must never again have a live vaccine!" I don't know where I stand on the matter of vaccines. There is some evidence that my having had the chickenpox vaccines in August and September of 2015 was the straw that broke the camel's back and tipped me over into chronic kidney disease. At the time I had the vaccines, I had no way of knowing about the anomaly in my left kidney -- congenital and NOT hereditary. This neurogenic pain syndrome is much like shingles, but deep (organ pain).

I don't take vaccines. Of course, I took the usual when I was a child, and as a result, I have lived a very healthy life. However, I would never take the Flu shot. I have considered Shingles, but have not taken it yet.

I believe the body has the innate ability to heal itself. And I believe anything you do to monkey with the system of the body could cause problems. So I am not unsympathetic to the idea that vaccines can be "dangerous", though they clearly have save hundreds of millions of lives.

HOWEVER, RFK, Jr.. is not a spokeperson for reason. He is a spokesperson for paranoia, according to my understanding.

Pasto,

Caveat: shingles is a live vaccine.

I, too, am skeptical of Trump's choice of RFK, Jr. But he might be reasoned about this particular issue. Will have to research that possibility.
