marijen,

If you are logged in you should see two options at the bottom of your post. They read Edit/Delete. I am well aware of Kennedy’s stance on vaccines. I am also aware of the fact that some people will have adverse reactions to vaccines. However, I was Peace Corps volunteer in a country with limited vaccine availability. I was there a year or two before smallpox was declared eradicated. Once you see many people in a given population crippled by polio, scarred or killed by smallpox, and on and on for vaccine preventable diseases, the anti-vaccine movement makes little sense.

Update: post has been removed by community

It's NOT about anti-vaxing as I said before. Therefore I think your follow up posts are not necessary but I would take it down if I could since it upsets you. There is no edit option under that and other posts that I can see. It must be a website glitch as most posts do have edit options which I have used for years.

I am not an anti- vaxer to be clear.

Edited to say that RFK jr said he justs wants the vaccines to be SAFE! And he has seen the data on them all.

From Wikipedia

He is a prominent anti-vaccine activist and believes in pseudoscientificspeculation of a link between vaccines and autism.^[4][5] Kennedy has denied such characterization.^[6][7]

Yes Serenity, please no Warp Speed which now I understand. I haven’t been a follower of the anti- vax movement. I just happened upon the Interview that I had to watch to the end. 2 1/2 hours. It would be nice if people watched it before comments. It gives so much food for thought on many issues.

RFK Jr himself says in it, he tried to get the mercury out of fish for over thirty years and he was never labeled anti-fish. He’s also against Monsanto etc. but has not been called anti-food.

After watching I will not hold my breath for a vaccine and the only thing I can do is strengthen my immune system. And live cautiously until it’s safe. I have only been out three times in the last month and only because I stupidly broke my wrist. But I did get to see how Urgent care, Er and my Hospital are handling the pandemic. It has been very reassuring. I even got a covid test before surgery.

Yes exbrngirl, some people have bad reactions. Another itme he covers.

Anyways I feel no need to convince anyone, I was just sharing.

This is a very slow thread Sadie, I don’t think any discussion here is getting in your way of moving on. But I’m sorry you fear you don’t have much time. I think you meant to go to another coronvirus thread anyways, the one for Stage IVs that the rest of us us of were left out of.

Ha! You're really something. What a shame to be left out of stage IV. How sad for you...

Two interview opportunities:

NPR in DC would like to interview someone who has had to delay their breast cancer surgery because of COVID-19 and how that has affected their care.

AND

O, The Oprah Magazine would like to interview a woman who developed (and recovered from) COVID-19 while also dealing with breast cancer.

If you're interested in participating in either interview, please email Ella Chick at echick@breastcancer.org by Monday May 11, 2020. Please specify which interview you'd like to participate in. Thank you!
