Vaccines are a mixed blessing. They can stimulate our immune system and
generate an immunity to acute disease, but they can also overwhelm our
immune system and generate a susceptibility to chronic disease. The question
about vaccines is not whether they work; the question is whether the cure is
worse than the disease. Are we better off with the artificial immunity that
results from vaccines? Or are we better off with the natural immunity that
results from the usual childhood diseases of measles, mumps, and chickenpox?
Let’s re-visit this question in a calm, objective manner, without polarizing,
ad hominem arguments.
