The first one is pretty obviously uneducated and can't seem to form a compete sentence without demolishing the English language. He believes in holistic medicine and actually rejects the germ theory altogether. I was kinda surprised to find that kind of lunacy in a world where you can actually see pathogens under a microscope. But, no, he's convinced that people get sick not from bacteria and viruses, but from eating processed foods and red meat. *facepalm*
This 'Holistic' method of treatment has gotten out of hand.
'Holistic' for me means "treating the whole", as such that includes vaccinations, general hygiene, clean water AND whole foods.
I would agree that eating copious amounts of 'processed foods' can be detrimental to your health... Am currently baking my own bread because of the high amounts of Soy protein and additives that keep bread 'Fresh' for a week.

When he came forward, his claim was that he has a couple of family members who worked for the CIA and because of that he doesn't trust what the put in the vaccines. That goes into some Alex Jones paranoia there and, fortunately, I think this guy only has a distrust of flu vaccines, not vaccines altogether. I suppose this one is far less dangerous, even if he is still an idiot.
Meanwhile, their body count keeps climbing. How many people have died because of getting a vaccine? Not very many. Has anyone died because of them?

As far as I am aware... the 'body count' for death by vaccination is very low compared to the 'body count' for death from NON-vaccination.
