      People allergic to penicillin shouldn't take it, but that doesn't make them anti-medicine nut jobs.https://twitter.com/Rjinswand/status/1006768763759415297 …

      Except that no medicine can ever be 100% safe. In fact nothing can be, yet we still have to go about our day and take the most practical and safe options we can. When the choice is between vaccination and the possibility of serious disease, vaccination wins every time.

      Yes, but unfortunately you're not going to know you're allergic to penicillin until the first time you're exposed to it. There are people allergic to peanuts too, but there's no campaign against them. Simply put, nothing on the planet is ever going to be 100% safe.

      That's the point though--they do have ways to know in advance. That's what the former head of NIH Dr. Bernadine Healy was advocating. She and others explained that today we have the technology to identify the susceptible kids in advance. Why wouldn't we?

          Well from what I understand, if they can detect certain allergies they do. I'm not entirely sure who said that wasn't a thing?

          Not just allergies. Mitochondrial disorder. Tubular Sclerosis. Other things we could test for and then address while still vaccinating the majority the normal way.
