Not interesting in the least. Here is a collection of ancient quotes, taken out of context, with the
usual appeal to authority (notice the capitalization of Doctors and Scientists - a practice generally
resorted to by those who are neither doctors nor scientists), the misspellings (Perguia, for
example) and the absence of references (one quotation is given from 1937 - is this the most
recent?).

I am not saying there is not a good case to be made for the harm injections of vaccines can cause
some individuals, nor that there is much we do not know about the good and the bad effects of
immunization. What I am saying, is that this biased collection is not the way to do make that case
- or any other.

I also see no reference to the epidemiological aspects of a society/nation-wide immunization plan.
A case could be made that even if 10 in 100 people injected died from a particular immunization,
if 90 out of 100 were spared death from the disease, then the program should go ahead. I am not
making this case, but I am interested in the epidemiological side as well as the individualistic
approach taken in these selective quotations.

I also fail to see the relevance to Paleofood.
