I am so happy to see Viera Scheibner’s book posted here! I haven’t seen any references to it in years. I used it in the early 2000’s to write a toxicology paper for my post grad studies. The topic was vaccinations as I was a new mom. My instructor tried to fail me because he didn’t agree with me! That was a fight! Crazy how times are the same but different. My kids are in their twenties now. Time flies! The book is amazing - one great takeaway was when Japan decided to test the theory that vaccines caused SIDS. They started vaccinating at age 2 instead of the regular schedule. SIDS literally disappeared....If that doesn’t tell you something then I don’t know what does. Thanks for posting Ely!

You are a leading edge boomer and I'm in the middle.

Born in 1956.

I've followed you so I know.

I come from the Thalidomide Era.

My friend Jimmy in grade two and three had half an arm and his leg was messed up.

We were little kids and Jimmy had the best Tonka toys in the sandbox so nobody cared about how Jimmy looked, we just played in the sandbox.

Jimmy was gone at the end of grade 3.

I found out years later he died from his complications from Thalidomide.

My Mom was an ANTIVAXXER and she was always arguing with them.

I didn't get it at the time but I remembered.

I've been an ANTIVAXXER all my life because of that.
