The central tenet of my preventative health care -- something I have paid careful attention to since having the good fortune of a Seventh Day Adventist 5th grade teacher -- is stay away from doctors. It has served me very well for almost 70 years. They have their areas of competence -- acute trauma, switching out body parts, some antibiotics -- but anybody who thinks that the current array of vaccinations reflects medical competence simply isn't paying attention. Most people who live long lives take a similar approach. I had a landlady in Prague who at age 62 hadn't been to doctors 10 times in her life, and she never had health problems.Contrarian Expatriate wrote: ↑April 26th, 2020, 1:56 pm
Well, the Supreme Court has often ruled that fundamental rights in the Constitution CAN be abridged, limited, or curtailed if certain conditions are met:
-That the government articulates compelling state interests in curtailing the rights
and
-The curtailments are narrowly tailored to meet those compelling state interests.
In my view, this does not mean forcing people to take shots (unless one is in the military or prison). But, it can mean preventing access to schools or other physical access to preserve public safety.
99.9% of idiots will be free to refuse the vaccine and die off as a Darwinian consequence. But the smart people will take it as a normal part of their preventative health care.
The new trend of personalized medicine is on target. It's a rejection of the one-size-fits-all approach of Dr. Fauci. I do fine staying away from the health care system. My sister, on the other hand, is virtually a ward of the medical state, having had open heart surgery at age 11 and endless dealings with the system ever since. She needs her doctors as a security blanket, as many people do, and who am I to deny them that. Beliefs play a very important role in health or lack thereof.
And anybody who thinks Darwinian evolution is currently resulting in a survival of the most intelligent clearly isn't spending enough time in the U.S.
