I am not sure why you think people shouldn’t be made aware that Bill Maher is spreading antivaccine misinformation.

Yes. I’m wondering why the doctor above thinks it’s unhelpful.

Notice that supporting vaccines is not “aligning with pharma.” It’s aligning with public health. This is framing the antivaccine movement builds on, and I agree it can be effective, but that’s a reason to correct it, not embrace it.

And for public health we made legislative changes like vaccine court, and liability reform for vaccinations - things we should do because it is good for the public not for Pharma.

Actually, vaccine liability court is somewhat of a scam. Majority of awards made for not real vaccine injuries. Plus, tax to fund it comes from doctors, not pharma, I think. Could be wrong. It's a payoff to make lawsuits go away.

I disagree. It's a compensation program, and it is designed to be generous - that's a value choice - but the special masters do a thorough job, and it provides a forum. I think it's a reasonable system. There's a great book by Anna Kirkland on it.

Indeed. If anything, the Vaccine Court bends over backwards to award compensation for even some injuries that probably weren’t due to vaccines. It also pays complainants’ legal costs win or lose, which no other court does, making it possible for anyone to bring a case before it.

Vaccine court was created by Congress. With broad bi-partisan agreement and support from antivaccine groups. It did limit pharma liability, but saying it was created by pharma is just incorrect.
