    that’s one of the side effects of the poor education in the USA… test oriented education focuses on scoring high on tests and general knowledge items such as the history of public health and vaccines are neglected, or if they are discussed, they are discussed in kindergarten terms

      I’m pretty sure the people that did well in school are not the ones who don’t support vaccines though

      I mean if you know about the Tuskegee experiments you might understand why a certain group of people are skeptical about ANY kind of government “vaccine”.

      The TL:DR is that the US CDC injected people with syphilis but told them it was a vaccine, just so they could see what the long term effects of syphilis were when you didn’t get treatment. 100 people died as guinea pigs.
