number of vaccines given has inflated over the years to the point of absurdity

That's been my point for years. I mean I had the basic vaccines when I was a kid as did most of us I presume. It was the very small handful of basically eradicated diseases in those days. Now, on top of that there's so much extra shit. Then they want regular flu shots, Covid shots, they have a fucking Monkeypox vaccine on the schedule now. I'm a big believer in letting your body take care of itself and not introducing extra outside things without some thought behind it, and shooting myself up with a Monkeypox shot for the gay sex I'm not going to have is unnecessary even if it truly is "safe and effective."
