    I think the loss of trust in public health is far more the issue than lack of interpreting data. I think a large portion of people could care less about the data on mmr now because of the way public health officials ignored basic medicine and science. Pushing a new drug on populations at little to no risk while ignoring natural immunity was one of the most disastrous decisions ever made in public health. Then the shot completely failed to do what the public health officials said it would do. This loss of trust is what has caused the drop in mmr vaccinations. There had always been those that were not going to give the mmr shot to their kids. But the public health officials created this mess by ignoring the fact young healthy people did not need to take a covid shot. Yet they tried to force people and scare people into taking it.

    If only we did not silence those who tried to explain what all the idiots knew about covid from the very beginning. Diamond Princess/New York/Italy...they knew who was at risk. But you are correct. The fauci's/collin's/walenski/etc of the world pushed policies that were the antithesis of medicine and science.

    Yes, the lack of trust is the problem. Thanks to the insistence of you and others to cling to alternative facts.

    Feel free to write a other novella. This is the last time I engage with you on that matter.

    You know who is at risk. All the people instant trust knew who was at risk. Yet they pushed a drug on an entire population.

    Good grief what the msm/FB/twitter/etc did to silence those who were just trying to provide the real information will be felt for decades. The misinformation by censorship was devastating!

    All of the idiots who pushed the nonsense early have to admit as do you that those censored were right. The data was there from the very beginning.

    Go look at the Diamond Princess/New York/Italy…as you know. Some tried to say it early.

    Any honest person has to admit this reality. It is 2025. History speaks for itself. You can’t hide from its reality.

    According to the WHO, in 2021, COVID was the 3rd leading cause of death for those ages 30 to 34. And leading cause for all age groups 35 and older. Look at data and tell me again COVID was only a threat to those 65 and older! Yes, COVID was more dangerous the older you were, but to say it was no danger for anyone younger betrays the facts.

    The vaccine was also very effective. Extremely low rate of side effects and high efficacy rate. And even those who got a breakthrough case, those cases were much less severe, with much faster recovery rate, meaning people were contagious for less time. It's too bad the anti vaccine idiots spread their disinformation, because had we reached a higher vaccination rate, we may have reached herd immunity.

    And the anti vaccine idiocy has only spread. People who have no medical training and jobs that don't require a MD are now claiming to be experts in virology and vaccines! And telling people not to listen to actual doctors, with multiple degrees, and years of practice and research.
