Remember that those who are ahead of science tend to be ridiculed by the current scientific establishment. It doesn’t help anyone’s cause to call those who have a different opinion “idiots” or “conspiracy theorists.” Anecdote almost always precedes science. Those “idiots” just might be right.[/quote]
Remember that those who are ridiculous also tend to be ridiculed by the current scientific establishment. It’s a cost benefit analysis. Yes, there will be a small number of people who are harmed by vaccines. But, overall, unless there are clear contraindications (egg allergy, etc.) being vaccinated is safer than not being vaccinated. For anyone who is interested, all of the reported vaccine adverse events since 1990 are here: http://vaers.hhs.gov/index. (Not sure whether someone else has pointed that out already.) My sister had varicella pneumonia (chicken pox in the lungs) in the 1960s at the age of 4. She was hospitalized where she contracted measles. She recovered, but it was a huge issue. Can’t understand why anyone would risk that.
