All I've advised is to read the Cochrane review before settling on a decision. Does that seem unreasonable?
Not at all. My concerns about lack of scientific underpinnings extend across the range of pharmaceutical interventions. Not limited to vaccines, but the flu jab is a regular discussion point for obvious reasons.

Correct me if I’m being dim but my understanding of your answer is that you don’t believe in the efficacy of smallpox and polio vaccines. Can you elaborate please

Eh? That's a bit of a leap. Some things prove their worth by virtue of their performance in the subsequent 'big trial' - public release. Other don't. Vioxx springs to mind.http://www.theweek.co.uk/us/46535/when-half-million-americans-died-and-nobody-noticed …

Though even the seemingly most bulletproof examples I've noticed being questioned by some. "Which begs this question, what is the value of this polio-free certification when nearly 50,000 children fall prey to polio-like flaccid paralysis every year?" >https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/is-india-actually-free-of-polio/article7945687.ece …

I think the answer to your point is in the article itselfpic.twitter.com/z9EC7ZNgXA

Appreciated. The point's not really mine but the author's. It's not an area I've personally researched. I just draw attention to the fact that questions are being asked. I presume only the vaccine can cause VDPV, even if it is also held up as the solution? My overall point stands
-
And is your overall point that you don’t believe that vaccination has made any improvement to public health?
-
What? I think you're just being purposefully antagonistic now. Read back if you want to gain a better grasp of my overall point.

I apologise if I’m coming across that way. I’m just curious to know your views on vaccinations
