Vaccines are the greatest achievement of medicine, combating not only communicable diseases but cancer and more. How did so many people lose sight of this?
Look at all the lives saved by vaccines (right column) — 97, 99, 100% decrease in all these preventable diseases. Yet RFK Jr anti vax nonsense threatens them all.
