I think she was nuts. People often believe crazy, unfounded nonsense and conspiracy theories. That includes famous people, good people, and well-educated people who should know better. For example, Robert Kennedy Jr. is opposed to the use of vaccines. He has campaigned against them and said outrageous things that no college educated person with knowledge of science or medicine should ever say, such as: They get the shot, that night they have a fever of a hundred and three, they go to sleep, and three months later their brain is gone. This is a holocaust, what this is doing to our country. http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article17814440.html That is not even slightly true. It is true that on extremely rare occasions vaccines cause reactions, including fevers. If anyone -- child or adult -- develops something like a 103°F fever after getting a vaccine or any other drug, you can be sure that patient will be rushed to the hospital. They do not just "go to sleep." In nearly every case such high fevers turn out to be unrelated to the drug that was administered but nowadays no one would take that chance. If the parent had enough sense to call a doctor or the vaccine hotline, there would be an ambulance at the house in 10 minutes. Vaccines prevent millions of illnesses and thousands of deaths for each severe reaction they cost. The only people who object them are innumerate and scientifically illiterate fools. - Jed
