There are lots of people who have been helped by carnivore. Only meat, saturated fat, and electrolytes. Some may eat chicken, fish, and some dairy and cheese, but absolutely no sugar and no plant food. It has cured people with Crohn's disease and many other ailments that other diets couldn't touch.
If you are sensitive to some common plant ingredient this might help. But I have done the numbers on this--can't meet current nutritional guidelines this way. Omega-3 and Omega-6 are simply not present in animals to a sufficient degree. I had been eating effectively no plant oils, when the guidelines were revised to give numbers rather than just saying they were good I did the math, found I had to use plant oils. They upset my body a bit more than animal fats, but it ended up being worth it.
I will keep that in mind as I try to see both sides of this difficult issue. It's not black and white, which makes it especially hard to navigate while trying to make heads or tails out of all of the information (including misinformation and disinformation) being thrown around.
True, nothing is truly black nor anything is truly white. Since perfection isn't possible let's pretend black is #010101 and white is #FEFEFE. By that yardstick the issue is black and white, vaccination is that much safer than the disease.
The URL dams it, I'm not going to look. "Entered into hearing record"--this is some politician reading crap into the record. Legitimate science isn't presented that way.
(And what actually matters more is research experience--something his people are also sorely lacking in.)
Of course, but people are concerned about long-term effects that may not have been picked up by the studies. Usually, they don't follow children's long-term health consequences and would never make the connection anyway. Some feel that it's unnatural for children to be injected with so many vaccines. I'm sure vaccines have saved people, but does that mean we can't reevaluate the need for a vaccine for every illness that comes down the pike? Look, I'm being the devil's advocate, so please don't pounce on me. In Florida, they are lightening up on some vaccines to enter school, but not all. This is a first, so we will have to wait and see if certain diseases make a comeback.
Long term effects not picked up?
Denmark, once again. Population level data going back a long ways. If there was anything it would be found. Furthermore, any unknowns would masquerade as something else. We would still see them even if we didn't understand them. (Think of the early days of AIDS. We could see the manifestation of a bunch of rare problems suddenly popping up even before we knew why. Then we traced it to immune collapse and saw the bunch of varied things had one root. Then we found HIV.)
Unnatural. Yeah, living isn't natural. The natural state is for most kids to die.
If you want to reevaluate the need then you need to show what changed in the threat model. Note that the system already does such reanalysis--I have been vaccinated for smallpox, it's no longer done because the threat is gone. Likewise, in areas with endemic polio the attenuated vaccine is used. It carries a slight risk and is not used in areas where polio has been eradicated. They use the inactivated vaccine there, it doesn't provide nearly the protection but it's enough for herd immunity. And note how influenza vaccines used to be quadrivalent--now they are trivalent becuase the Covid lockdown appears to have killed off the cone clade that only lived in humans. (The clock hasn't run out on declaring it extinct, but since influenza vaccine production requires live agents making it was deemed an undue risk of reintroducing it.)
Devil's advocate? No, a devil's advocate is testing the robustness by trying to poke holes (which is a completely routine thing to me writing code), but once something has been demonstrated not to be a hole they don't keep poking it.
And we don't need to wait and see if the disease make a comeback--we are already seeing it now. The US is no longer considered free of measles. You welcomed the killer into the country.
