      Yeah, natural immunity is much better than antibiotics and vaccines, which is why we invented them in the first… Oh no wait, that’s actually incredibly wrong.

        I’m talking about ecosystems here but thanks for assuming I’m antivaxxer. Disease and sickness is also part of mother nature’s ecosystem controls, we’ve just kinds learned to beat that part.
