Last Week Tonight has a nice episode on Vaccines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VG_s2PCH_c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VG_s2PCH_c It explains why vaccines are important, why "taking it slow" with vaccines is a bad approach, and other important stuff. Please vaccinate yourself and your kids.

Congo and surrounding countries have a long history of tainted vaccines. The CIA and the apartheid South African government worked very hard to poison people with numerous illnesses including infecting them with HIV using vaccine centers. I'm sure many of the operators in the area just realized HIV takes a lot longer to work than ebola, measles, plague, etc. You guys are assuming all the players involved in this region are fair and honest, major error. Some of the world's most valuable mines are being fought over, humans are collateral damage to the international orgs involved.

  Proof? A quick google did not bring up the CIA, Congo, and vaccines.

    The most recent accounts I've seen were in Cold Case Hammarskjöld (documentary). They found a few defectors/whistleblowers that had visited and worked at SAIMR's (South African Institute for Maritime Research) CIA funded labs used to synthesize these bogus vaccines, mainly HIV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLclWdK0cy4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLclWdK0cy4

      HN Commenters: "Africans have nothing to worry about with vaccines..." White SAIMR ex-agent: beware of the "'white philanthropists' coming in and opening free X to help treat Y..." Seems a mixture of ignorance, white, and first world privilege are at work here at the same time.
