Let's start here, can we agree there is a possibility of shedding with live virus vaccine? I'm trying to have an honest discussion and start from the same spot

What do you mean by shedding? Do you viable active viruses? Or some RNA? And do you mean historically or with current vaccines?

Those are all valid questions. I'd add another - why are you concerned about viral shedding? What does this have to do with known vaccine risks in terms of modern vaccines?

As the opv indisputably proves, live virus vaccines can and do shed.

Fact. It's why we usually don't give the OPV in countries where the risk of polio is low, like the US, UK and Australia

Let's not get into that part lol, it really riles me up what gates is doing. So when we know that live vaccines can shed, and we still use them in the mmr although attenuated, why is there nothing done after to ensure no shedding when it is known to be possible. I see a flaw

Because, as I said, different vaccines are very different. The OPV sheds, and that's actually one of the things that makes it so effective. There's no evidence that the MMR sheds, because the attenuation is different btwn different diseases

There are a few reported cases of shedding specifically into breast milk, but it's an extremely low risk unless you're currently lactating. Since we mostly vaccinate kids, not usually a problem

It's also something that doctors usually mention when they're vaccinating breastfeeding mothers, because they might want to take that into account before being vaccinated

I'm liking this conversation and so far can agree. There are cases of mm shedding but it's rare. However varicella shedding is not so rare. Why do we even have chicken pox vax, it was a fun week

Mostly because it can be very disabling and occasionally deadly. Not every country vaccinates against varicella
