Go back to 1989 schedule when shots were only 10 and the MMR was on that list. I don't know what happened in 1990, there was no plague that was killing children that we had to triple the amount of vaccines. What happened back in 1989 that warranted 26 more vaccines? It's twice as many as anywhere else in 30 countries in the Western World. We give twice as many shots as any of those countries. Why is that?

I don't think people that are charged with the public health any longer have our best interests at heart all the time. Parents have to make their own decisions, educated decisions, they have to look at the decisions.
The AAP is financed by the drug companies.
Medical schools are financed by the drug companies.

This is a huge business. Vaccines are the largest growing division of the pharmaceutical industry. $13 billion. They control medical schools. I mean these doctors are not learning about prevention or vitamins or diet.

What we're asking is for them to take a loss for the good of our children. That's a tough sell in a board room.

Correct.

"You colonized a country, so take in Immigrants"
"You bombed a country, so take in Immigrants"
"You immigrated to our country with a whopping 0.1% of the total population at peak, so take in immigrants" (BRITAIN in India)
"You emmigrated out of your country, so the ones that didn't must take in Immigrants" (IRELAND)

Meanwhile the people of countries that want unlimited rights to immigrate to the West, want NO immigrants for themselves (India).

Giving visa and not giving visa is every country's right, obviously. The decision to give H-1B visas was made. Studies were done, corporations were consulted and it must have been found that this would benefit the corporations at the cost of people. Instead of seeing this as a win-loose (win for corporations and loss for people) this was seen as a win (profits for corporations)-win (management of people through salary rationing and job losses). Now, here we are, still going back and forth about it with DOGE leaders erroneously coming out in support of H-1B.

Since Trump likes tariffs, just do that method here. Put forth a per head tax on H-1B that brinks the cost up to what an American worker would be paid. This would truly be a tariff that protects American jobs. If a particular H-1B was actually superior to local talent the sponsor would not mind the cost.

Just ban H1Bs to those making $150k/year, to go up by $5k/year or CPI indefinitely, whichever is the higher.
