"That was then, this is now" would be the saying of choice there. Things have changed very dramatically. The world you live in is not the same world as when Flemming invented penicillin. A debate on this however is puerile and pointless if you haven't done your research on vaccinations. When you are at the point where you understand the pointless snake oil that is the flu jab, then a conversation can be had.

Yep and that is because the medical industry, from the top management down to GPs and nurses, is no longer a health service. It is simply another "for profit" Big Business nothing more. Healthy people do NOT make money for that system hence you are an utter fool if you are expecting that system to look after you and make you better.
Your health is your responsibility no one elses. So yes, you DO need to research and get clued up on all health issues rather than be lazy and let your GP do whatever they want. Equally you should educate your kids and protect them which you don't do by just putting them on the medical conveyor belt. There are parents out there fighting tooth and nail to protect their kids health from the infamy and destructive nature of the Big Business Medical Machine. Some of them are going to jail in their efforts.
Most, like yourself, still believe the world is as it was and that the medical industry can be trusted. Little I can do about that expect peg away on forums and encourage the old dogs who CAN learn new tricks to start proper research.
