the vaccine may develop insulin dependent diabetes or another autoimmune
disease from the vaccine.

Student
Mental Health
The human brain takes 25 years to fully develop. Your frontal cortex
— the part of your brain that plays a huge role in decision-making
and impulse control — is the last part to develop. This leaves
students under the age of 25 more susceptible and vulnerable to drug
and alcohol use.
