I sent out the statement earlier. Without using the "cause-effect" phrase, perhaps you would agree with some scientists and CDC who believe vaccines may "trigger" autism in certain children (susceptible for genetic or other reasons). https://twitter.com/WaynesterAtl/status/937123500694876165 …

Let’s say vaccines do that. (I’m not inclined to believe they do, but willing to concede). The real question is whether that risk is worth the gain. This assumes we can’t identify the susceptible in advance.

Bingo. The scientists I've spoken to including Dr. Healy said that's the rub. They believe we *can* identify many of the susceptibilities quite easily today (when we couldn't have years ago). And vaccinate the others more safely.

That would be a wonderful advance and so much better an outcome than the status quo or the “all vaccines are bad for all people” histrionics.

Right. But I have to say it's hard to blame people for histrionics because I think our govt has fallen down on the job of providing honest, timely, up to date info and advice -- it is conflicted by vaccine industry.

I’m a libertarian at heart. I never downplay the industry-government angle. But even ignoring that vaccination has a really solid historical record.

Some vaccines (oral polio, rotavirus) have been pulled from market for safety reasons, so their record is different than the record of other vaccines. Etc. That's all...there's nuance. People are reasonable to think logically about medical issues that are different for each.
