    Dude! How did you make it through your teen if you were never vaccinated and being unvaccinated is ‘dangerously risky’ according to you 🤣 if being unvaccinated is really that risky you should have been long dead and not here in the stage 🤦🏽‍♂️

    So a parent did what she thought was best, when child had agency as a adult he thought differently. How is this any different for any other life chooses a adult makes. How is this special? People need to stop forcing their own opinions on to other and let them live their own lives. NO ONE has a right to tell a parents how to raise their children to the best of their ability.

      She didn’t think what’s best. She did what she was told was best. That’s why this is concerning, because what is best it being framed as being bad.

      @@AegisK That idea applies to all knowledge until experience turns it in to wisdom. Every one has the freedom to be wrong and fail. Freedom isn’t free of consequences. People do not have the responsibility for stupid. but do have the right to protect them selves from it.

    About ALL the people around me who got vaccinated did have Covid – some of them are still suffering what is now called “long Covid” (even though vaccinated, some of them vaccinated 3 or 4 times).
    I refused these vaccinations, I was never vaccinated and was looked upon as a “bad sedicious person” BUT I never caught Covid !!!! 😂😂😂
    ALL THE PEOPLE THAT I KNOW WHO HAD COVID WERE VACCINATED.
    Nothing more to add. Period.

      Social media was definitely different then, but it was there. Instead of modern YouTube, Facebook and Twitter (X), you had Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and Tagged. And even before that, conspiracy theorists and some churches were anti-vax because Satan or something

      Look up Andrew Wakefield. He was a dr (now struck off) who made up results for a study that linked the combined measles-mumps-rubella vaccine to autism in 1998. Huge headlines around 1999/2000 I think. But no-one could recreate his results. Cos he made them up. But the damage was done and vaccine uptake dipped hugely after that.

Activist Leopoldo López learned the true value of freedom in a solitary confinement cell, when someone else decided if he would eat or see sunlight. In this searching conversation, he explains why democracy is losing ground across the globe, the state of Venezuela’s transition after Maduro’s capture and the 2026 earthquakes — and why he founded the World Liberty Congress to unite activists in the fight against autocracies. (This conversation, hosted by TED’s Whitney Pennington Rogers, was part of an exclusive TED Membership event.
