    I can see how the advance/change of criteria can lead to an increase in diagnosis. But I don’t think it’s merely a perception that has evolved. Cancer rates in youth are rising significantly. The recommended age for common cancer screens are being lowered to reflect the change.

    There was a time when the use of lead was perfectly normal and the flight to eliminate it for public safety was deemed as fringe. Likewise, I feel that we have new kinds of pollutants affecting our health and I have a keen interest in knowing what’s safe and what isn’t, now that I have children to care for.

    I see vaccinations as one of humanity’s greatest achievements. mRNA technology is exciting to me. But just like scaremongering upsets me, so does hasty policy making and social policing.

    That said, my family is fully up to date on vaccination schedules. But I have worries that if we let our guards down and only take in facts on authority, we’ll give way to corruption due to our unquestioning nature. This is in no way limited to vaccines, in fact I hardly question vaccines at all. I’m mostly interested in industrial pollution and Robert has extensive experience in this area. That’s why I favored him, as a figure who lived to expose industrial and government corruption at the cost of human health.
