It doesn’t matter if you eat organic foods.
It doesn’t matter if you exercise regularly.
It doesn’t matter if you inject peptides.
It doesn’t matter if you have “good genes”.

None of these things will prevent you from contracting vaccine-preventable diseases.

There is only one thing that will.

It was outlined in the Powell memo by a Nixon SCOTUS judge 50 years ago, then adopted by the Koch donor class.
From the Powell memo.

He says to lean into academic freedom, but tilt the marketplace of ideas by paying a “staff of scholars” and speakers, and to insist on equal time. It’s the same strategy we see being deployed today. And this from the 1970s! We shouldn’t be surprised today when this happens
