Want to protect yourself against cancer? Get vaccinated

I vaccinate myself and my kids with every vaccine available and accept the tail risk of an adverse reaction. I just got my flu shot and latest Covid vaccine (my sixth Covid vaccine, if we’re counting). My kids get every vaccine they are eligible for, including HPV.

We’re already autistic, the vaccines are unlikely to maxx the superpower unfortunately (autism is genetic). Vaccines don’t just prevent acute infection, they also prevent cancer and dementia (shingles vaccine). Please get them. Risk management is my day gig. I will die on this hill.

The autism concern is baseless.

I'm not sure what is the "COVID fumble". They worked! I think there were a lot of uninformed people overselling the capacity of the covid-19 vaccines, but the protection was real.
