"Should I Vax, or Should I Go?"
Vaccinations can be a controversial topic - But they effect us all, so we should learn to hear each other's views. Whether that's:
- An inflammation scientist in my dance class told me the flu is on a STEEP rise this year, and she's a huge fan of the flu vaccine, or ...
- The Weston Price Foundation released this quiz about vaccinations (which I'm keen to fact-check)
Personally I hadn't gotten the shot in many years, because I remember it making me sick. BUT - starting my new job, I learned ...
