I get that anti-vaxers are considered dangerous. Equally dangerous is the revolving door between the CDC and vaccination companies which prevent correct levels of scrutinization when batches of vaccinations or specific vaccines are deemed unsafe. Without this comfortable level of accountability, vaccine companies can move forward indefinitely without supplying realistic testing which could prevent detrimental affects that very rarely occur, but can happen. Furthermore, sending bad batches of vaccines downstream to poorer countries should be illegal. Certainly things like this have happened historically.
Additionally, the way the government has cozied up to vaccination companies to prevent nearly any lawsuit from taking place related to vaccines seems ridiculous. Vaccines do represent a public good, and as such some protection seems appropriate, but to make it seem like the best possible thing we could ever do to protect populations? I think that's a touch overreaching.
People should use vaccines, absolutely. However, vaccine tech has not progressed much in 50 years and part of this may be attributed to the protection of vaccine companies.

This particularly affected those with special needs, e.g. autism, thus completely skewing the numbers. The vaccines didn't cause autism in these populations; the autism caused vaccines. Additionally, linking to vaxxed is like linking infowars: https://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/vaxxed-guide-wakefield-fraudulent-film/ https://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/vaxx...

- daeken 8y agoYour links don't say what you think they do. 1) You're blaming the CDC for not holding people accountable, then linking the CDC ... holding them accountable. 2) The second two links don't have anything to do with the US, thus aren't in the CDC's purview. Additionally, none of these talk about intentionally bad vaccines, which is one of your claims.
