Vaccines are important and they save lives; every medical intervention comes with both benefits and risks. Taking a stand for independent scientific verification of vaccine safety is not “anti-vaxx,” no matter how many times that lie is repeated.

Thanks for responding. Who would sit on your commission and who might advise? And I wrote today about new efforts from folks who also bristle at the “anti-vaxx” label. Some stalk doctors and parents with infants outside pediatricians offices. Thoughts?https://www.nbcnews.com/health/kids-health/anti-vaccine-groups-take-dangerous-harassment-offline-real-world-n1096461 …

I adamantly oppose any such harassment, as it is violent and uncalled for. Regarding your other questions, I will respond with specifics tomorrow.

The funny thing about damages related to vaccines is that the law around the court makes the burden of proof incredibly low in order to help boost confidence. But grifters like you use it as an excuse for your shameless but profitable anti-vaccination position.

Ensuring vaccine safety is NOT anti-vaccine! Everyone who gets vaccinated should want to ensure they are safe. No one should blindly trust the industry that regularly commits fraud and knowingly and purposefully caused the opioid epidemic for profit.
-
Not to mention, the industry also knowingly killed 10s of thousands with Vioxx and tried to cover up the fact that they were well aware of the danger pior to selling the first pill.

Go to Samoa and talk to the parents there who have lost children to measles. Ask them if they would take the minuscule risk of vaccinating if they could have their child back.
-
Samoa didn’t have measles outbreak until after UNICEF launched vaccine campaign on October 1. By November 15 they declared state of emergency, 6 weeks after they brought the live virus to the island. Vaccines shed between 30 and 45 days.

If we ever get a vaccine for HIV you're really gonna have a fit.

Yes. They’ll treat it just like HPV vaccination. Because, of course, if people would just refrain from sex this would never happen. We wouldn’t want to protect people, would we?
