hopefully next time the host might actually ask for the evidence that the flu vaccine, or any other vaccine, is actually effective. Also worth questioning is the long term effect on the immune system. this would of course require some studies comparing population, but the best to my understanding the pharma community is not willing to do studies since it is cruel to expose a population of people to a life4 without vaccines. And I am serious that this is the reason given for the lack of studies
Point of order...... Pastor Washington's church is The Garden of Peace Ministries
