No one says this. No one. What we do say is that vaccines don’t cause autism (because this question’s been studied to death and no positive signal has emerged), and we show why antivaccine tropes are BS.https://twitter.com/JayGordonMDFAAP/status/1190801979674546177 …
I don’t think it is quite as simple as that. To say that there are absolutely no risks associated with vaccines for all is wrong (recognized), just as it is clear that vaccinations for infections with high risk and morbidity is important. There is a lot of grey between the poles.

No grey area at all. There are very few people who can not be vaccinated for medical conditions. Everyone else should be vaccinated. The benefits far far outweighs the risk.

It would be like telling people not to go out and walk for exercise. Because maybe someone might trip and hurt themselves.

I once knew somebody who had a kid who was perfect until they went for a walk and tripped. Now he has autism. And measles.

Nobody ever said that there are absolutely no risks associated. I have said, and I'll stand by this, that the risks for serious rxn is so low we can't distinguish them from background population rates.

You have no concerns with an escalating frequency and density of vaccines at an increasingly young age? If not, that is your choice but I cannot agree that this application has been anywhere near adequately studied to rule out significant unknown risks.

Vaccination policy is a population program. If we are going to play with schedules like our own personal Pinterest project, we might as well fold it in, b/c we know that doesn't work. I'll bite - which vaccines are not worth it to you?
-
I get the population arguement and it’s obviously valid, but there has to be room for choice, discussion and responsiveness to how some children react. Having multivalent applications force a process that may not always be best. I am not the arbiter on which should be avoided.

The only people that would use the term "no risk" have absolutely no clue what they are talking about. If course there is some small risk. Hell there is a risk if infection when the needle pierces the skin. You want no risk go live in a mine shaft.

That would be why nobody says that, then. Apart from antivaxers putting words in people's mouths.
