If there were organizations that promoted smoking as healthy online, do you think the AMA would and should urge social media to suppress that information? Both vaccine preventable infectious diseases and smoking are public health threats. Would that be pro-censorship?

The AMA did advertise cigarettes at one time despite suspicion of harm. Unsafe vaccines may be more of a public health threat than the diseases they are intended to prevent. Another AMA coverup to protect its commercial interests?

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?

I notice you avoided answering my question: Which vaccines on the CDC's recommended childhood vaccine schedule do you personally consider safe and effective? Be specific and justify your answers.

It's a simple question: Which vaccines on the CDC's recommended childhood vaccine schedule do you personally consider safe and effective? Be specific and justify your answers.

Note that I will keep asking this question from time to time until I get an answer.

I don't give one-size-fits-all advice on how doctors should treat their patients. You apparently do.

You were asked a reasonable question. You responded with an insult like a petulant teenager. Not a good appearance.
