And Payne, you should be so thankful you have been “forced” to be vaccinated. I remember when vaccinations were not mandatory before starting school… since few were available. My parents, the teachers, all adults were so relieved when a vaccine became available. Polio was nonexistent for decades. Tuberculosis. Smallpox. Tetanus (death is horrible). And now I am so thankful that one can be vaccinated against shingles (my uncle had them in his mouth & had to puree his food the rest of his life; my mom & aunts had them multiple times usually be their eye), pneumonia (had it twice before, zero since); meningitis (my sister nearly died from it); the flu; hepatitis; mumps (can adversely affect various organs including pancreas, brain, deafness); measles (encephalitis, death, pneumonia; pregnancy, possibly SSPE); Hib (affects children); whooping cough can be deadly to children/babies); chicken pox which could lead to shingles when older); diphtheria (still around & could cause death).
