    Someone responds to the question, “Which vaccine(s) do you consider sufficiently safe and effective to recommend in general for children without a medical contraindication?” Guess what? Answering with a bunch of questions like this is an excellent indicator that he’s antivax.https://twitter.com/usergenic/status/1201739944856711168 …

    Are all contraindications tested for adequately? Do they include family history? Are pediatricians sufficiently prepared to recognize them? Is the vaccine absolutely necessary? Has the vaccine been studied for safety and it's risk profile defined? Is there reliable monitoring?

        "Is the vaccine absolutely necessary?" Is your left hand absolutely necessary?

        Is the Hep B vaccine for all babies on day 1 of life absolutely necessary? That question doesn't make me anti anything.

        It is if you refuse to listen to any answers no matter how well supported those answers are if they contradict your already set beliefs. That is not legitimately asking questions.

        You should seriously consider taking a sabbatical from doctoring. Anybody is free to ask any questions about any medical procedure or drug. It’s a sign of intelligence and interest in own health to not follow blindly any random doctor’s order.
