    Although—it doesn’t make logical sense to discuss “vaccines” as a single entity. Like all medicine, some work better than others. Govt has pulled some off the market for safety reasons. Some people have adverse reactions to some; others tolerate same ones well.https://twitter.com/drvantilburg/status/1021183993650262018 …

    Sharyl Attkisson added,

    Miranda van Tilburg @DrvanTilburg
    More than 1 in 3 Americans think they are as knowledgeable as physicians. Those who do are more likely to be vaccine opponents and more likely to believe non medical experts such as celebrities. “Houston we have a problem”. #medtwitter #vaccineswork https://theconversation.com/why-vaccine-opponents-think-they-know-more-than-medical-experts-99278 …

        I'm surprised that a DNA analysis can't be taken of each individual at birth to tell you beforehand which vaccines , medicines and foods to avoid.

        They can. It’s very expensive. We had it done for our son. It was $4-$5k over a decade ago and insurance covers absolutely nothing.

        So at the current rate I pay about 4 months of insurance cost to prevent years of trouble...And that's without factoring economy of scale.

        No vaccine is perfect. Each individual/parent needs to be aware of the side effects, but understand what polio, diphtheria, tetanus, meningitis, whooping cough was like many years ago.

        It sucks when you learn the risks too late. Parents are not given full informed consent. I had no idea vaccines weren't perfectly safe. I was handed the V info sheet AFTER my kids were already vaxxed. 2 late. Benefits of vacs oversold risks downplayed.

        Vaccines are now given in singles doses that are larger than b4; at ages earlier than b4. It has nothing to do with believing ppl know more than physicians but rather common sense. A baby weighing 25 lbs vs a child weighing 40 lbs should not be receiving the same dose!

        @DrvanTilburg A physician is one who obtains “a license to practice medicine”. They are not all-knowing. They are not correct 100% of the time. They are practicing. #Practice

        Part of the problem is that big pharma is so heavily involved in the medical school education and they make $$ from these vaccines. A conflict of interest for sure.
