I donāt think heās ever pushed it, but he had an anti-vaxer working with him for a bit. Heās never said anything anti-vax directly so far, I donāt think. He spoke at a forum that also had AIDS conspiracy theorists, but he didnāt promote the theories then, he set himself against them.
I think there are a lot of conspiracy theorists in the community and he might feel he has to look like heās listening.
But heās also good friends with DeNiro, so I guess itās possible.
If he shows up and says something, I think weāll know for certain.

This is as good a day as any to remind people to get their flu shots.
I know all the excuses. I used to use them all. Then the winter I spent in chemo, they didnāt give me a choice. It was the first winter in my life I wasnāt constantly battling being sick from a communicable disease. Even with no immune system. Iāll never procrastinate again.
Get your flu shot.

Do you think those of us who got our vacs years ago should go get boosters from our doctors? I thought there was an article up to that effect not too long ago.

I just got a booster. My measles titer was still good, but mumps had faded.

Oh! So how can they tell that? Just by knowing when you got your last shot or as part of the normal blood test theyād do at a physical?

Not sure how routine it is for the general public, but for us it is an every 5 years routine. Itās a pretty standard blood test, but my guess is you would have to ask for it.
