I think that is a pretty insulting, not to mention uneducated, remark you just made. MJ is far from uneducated or, at least, a long way from dumb. I have seen the man write with skill and an obvious exposure to lots of "education". Just because he happened to have worked his ass off in the hot kitchens of MIU simply means he worked his ass off and was dedicated to a life characterized by TM and hard work. He also took a fair bit of abuse at the hands of the stuffed shirts who ran the place. I was a student shortly before MJ arrived so I remember those days well and had very close friends on staff. I know how it rolled. > > I happen to avoid vaccinations myself although not because I believe vaccinations in general to be harmful or useless but because at this age I have had all the appropriate vaccinations for my age and exposure to the world of germs. I don't vaccinate for Swine flu or flu in general and polio and small pox were done decades ago when I was a child. If they could vaccinate against ignorance, fear and small mindedness I would be first in line though.
I only objected, reluctantly, to what I felt was a blanket indictment of vaccinations. However, even if I disagree with many of his opinions, I do enjoy his writing style, especially when he relates his personal experiences. But it seems to me he has some (quite a few) blind spots when it comes to the whole TMO experience, and I voice those objections, when I think he is particularly off the rails. > Where have vaccines been declared to be > > a "panacea that cures all ills".
