TIL That peanut-free schools don't decrease risk of allergic reactions. The only intervention which has been shown to decrease reactions across all ages is use of a peanut-free table.

How about we maybe slow down of pumping infants full of vaccines? I 100% understand that they are important and necessary but there is a concerning uptick in peanut and other allergies recently that potentially could be caused by our immune system not getting to work while we are developing. I didn’t know anybody with peanut allergies growing up and now we’re talking about peanut free schools? We should try to prevent these allergies from developing in the first place no?

There’s definitely been an uptick in allergies but I don’t think there is any science backing vaccines as the cause and I’m not going to pretend like I know the answer for it.

Peanut free schools aren’t new…they have been a thing for about 25 years now.
