All you've done so far is spread FUD, and repeat issues were first visited 100+ years ago, and which have constantly been revisited over that century. Looking now, there was a set of articles about public health and constitutional issues for the centenary, like https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1449224/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1449224/ and the topics on the sidebar. You'll note that it goes into the changing understanding, in part to avoid new atrocities.
You haven't added anything new. Even your complaints about 'trusting of "the government"' are older than my parents. By "added nothing new", I mean that the existing policies have long since tried to respect people with viewpoints similar to yours.
You haven't proposed anything better than what we have now. All you seem to want to do is throw away a framework which has seemed to mostly work for generations.
You also malign me and the system with your statement "trust in the purity of the process". No system is pure, including whatever alternative you might propose. But yes, the vaccine system we have is a lot more transparent and externally verifiable than most of what goes on in government. What angels do you think will run things for us?
Of course different countries have different vaccine policies. The world isn't in lock-step, different countries have different levels of wealth and medical care, and many diseases are only regional. Most people in the US don't need the typhoid vaccine or yellow fever viral vaccine, even if they are required in places where those diseases are common.
The case law says that children with contraindications and adults are not required to follow a vaccination schedule. That's what I mean when I say that children with a medical reason do not need to follow the schedule.
- unclebucknasty 10y agoFUD? Anything but blind allegiance to the schedule is raging FUD, huh? The real problem here is the zero-tolerance approach that people like you take to the meekest expression of any concern, even while you acknowledge that the system is imperfect. What is that, exactly? "It's the best we got, so sit still while I ram it down your throat" seems to be your argument. I'm not "anti-vaccine", but you seem to feel a need to lump me into that group in order to trot out the same tired lambasting of anyone who even raises his hand with a question. Calm down. >different countries have different levels of wealth and medical care, and many diseases are only regional I'm not talking about developing countries and I'm not talking about yellow fever. Look up the history of the varicella vaccine in Britain, for example. So, the set of vaccines you'd demand of others would be different based on the opinions of experts in your locale. And, you see nothing wrong with continuing to make those demands? No room for questions? OK. I won't even refute the statement about maligning you, etc. I don't have the energy to continue pointing out the contradictions.
