The insanity is beyond comprehension.. what the hell is going on in Florida [View all]

In 1900 the average life span in the United States was 47 years.. tremendous number of kids died in childhood from childhood diseases like measles polio small pox etc

In 2000 the average life span was 76.8 years (women live longer than men,it is all averaged out) but immunizations basically added 30 years to our life spans.. I am old enough to remember the horror of polio and the people in the iron lungs.

In 2024 average life span is 77 ..

Some people cannot take vaccines, and they do not have to. We have been protected by a thing called herd immunity so that even those who cannot be immunized are protected because the viruses are caged in .. It works for all of us

So for the love all things holy, what is going on in Florida.??. They are contemplating doing away with all vaccines??
