      The surgeon general led the very unpopular fight against cigarettes in the sixties and seventies after the landmark U of Florida lung cancer trial. Much like cigarettes, you should produce indisputable evidence that vaccines are more dangerous than the diseases they prevent.

      Considering the indisputable evidence of the harm that vaccine preventable diseases cause, that is going to be one hell of a high bar

      Suggesting that vaccines do more harm than the diseases they prevent is the very definition of antivaccine.

      It depends on the vaccine, the disease, and the circumstances. Rigid adherence to protocols from conflicted authorities, while ignoring adverse reports, is anti-patient and contrary to the Oath of Hippocrates

      So you think some vaccines are good. How would you argue against someone who felt all vaccines were bad all the time. Would you appeal to evidence and the scientific consensus?

      Vaccines and drugs, though "good" in some circumstances, all have risks. Why not try to figure out why and to whom bad reactions occur instead of denying them?

      Almost no topic has been studied more than vaccines. Why pretend these studies have not been done? (This meme is old and there are now over 300,000 studies.)pic.twitter.com/MKmSIjJBze

      Studied does not mean proved safe

      By your standards name one medical treatment that you think has been “proved safe.” One. Band aids can harm. And despite your claims, no one claims vaccines are perfectly safe.pic.twitter.com/K374yf1w7m

      I notice Dr. Orient STILL avoids answering my question: Which vaccines on the CDC's recommended childhood vaccine schedule does she personally consider safe and effective? She should be specific and justify her answers.

      I wonder why she won't answer such a simple question. It couldn't be because she doesn't want to admit that she's antivaccine and doesn't consider ANY childhood vaccine to be effective and safe, could it?🤔
