with other comments that focused on these main<br />
areas of criticisms to vaccination:<br />
1) Discredited autism/mercury/thimerosal statements<br />
2) Pseudo-science, fake news and alternative<br />
facts<br />
3) That Immunize <strong>Nevada</strong> is a shill for bigpharma<br />
vaccine companies<br />
4) That people promoting vaccines will “burn<br />
in hell” because vaccines are made from<br />
aborted fetus. Vaccine proponents were even<br />
compared to Nazis.<br />
5) And that the lawmakers should “do more<br />
research.”<br />
That last statement about doing research I agree<br />
with, but the research must be from valid sources,<br />
not conspiracy theorists. All of the legislative<br />
committee hearings are taped and if you want to<br />
spend some time you can view their comments by<br />
going to <strong>Nevada</strong> Legislative archived videos that<br />
is found at this link: https://www.leg.state.nv.us/<br />
Video/. All you have to do is put in the date of the<br />
session you are interested to view and it will come<br />
up. And the anti-vaxxers are at it again to the point<br />
of disrupting a mass vaccination site at Dodger<br />
Stadium in California.<br />
A few anti-vaxxers brought up “herd immunity”<br />
and that is the danger of their movement. If they<br />
convince a large enough portion of our population<br />
that vaccines are dangerous and discourage enough<br />
of us from becoming vaccinated the pandemic<br />
could slam us again with a fourth wave, possibly<br />
bigger than the one we have just been through. If<br />
that occurs not only will more physical suffering<br />
and death occur, but <strong>Nevada</strong>’s economy, which is so<br />
dependent on tourism, will not recover either.<br />
A good resource to address the anti-vaccination<br />
movement is a website called, “Shots Heard Round<br />
the World.” It provides resources to combat the disinformation<br />
and intimidation that some members of<br />
this group distribute. (6) https://www.shotsheard.<br />

It is time for our red vs. blue, North against South,<br />
rural vs. urban, us against them – mentality to end.<br />
It is time for us to put aside our political divides, join<br />
forces and work together in unison to fight the war<br />
on Sars-CoV-2. It is time to create common goals and<br />
defeat the virus that has been ravaging us for the<br />
past year.<br />
