Heck, many free mobile VPN apps don't even encrypt your traffic. An analysis of VPN apps on Android done back in 2016 found 84% leaked IPv6, 66% leaked DNS, 38% contained malware...and 18% didn't even encrypt anything... Study is

Because there are hundreds of studies, and everyone's better served by looking at what's out there for themselves. I could have linked to the Google search, but that would've been pretty condescending.

I remember reading somewhere that some of the whooping cough in the States was actually being transmitted by the vaccine itself in some cases - but Google isn't returning any unbiased search results right now on that one.

The issue is not black and white - and laying the entire issue at the feet of non-vaccinated is blatant propaganda. For example, the recent whooping cough outbreaks are due to the fact that the newer (safer!) acellular vaccines are just not
