That's the news from Lake WeBeGone, where the strong man is a mere spectator, trying to comprehend a flow of events far too vast for him to influence. My small role in attempting to keep up is to protect my family and alert you friends to what I see. And, on lovely spring days such as this one, to spend time with the children in the sunshine.
The rise of autism among the young might very well be related to the rise in the vaccine schedule. "Turtles" raises some interesting points about the safety concerns that have never been addressed. I once thought that the medicos had pretty well understood the human immune system but now am convinced that they do not understand the processes that well. For all I gather the system is quite complex and actually not that well understood. Humans are much too diverse in terms of genetics and life experiences for the current testing to reveal those who may have issues with various medications, particularly as we tinker around the edges of our immune system. Apparently the effort to develop a better understanding is beyond current resources. Someday maybe big data might help, but clearly not today.
The Covid mess will take many years to sort out the various damages. The effort is not helped by a US Congress that refuses to exercise oversight.
Best wishes for you and your family in this most beautiful of seasons.
