  That's the dream. It would be nice to have something better than anecdotal evidence. I hope we do. I wonder why the evidence of lack of it isn't being publicised.

      Sounds like you’re not concerned about all scientific advances, you just want to give them enough to time to be sure there are no adverse side-effects.

Nobody is embarrassed about how the vaccines for smallpox, polio and measles have worked out (apart from some misinformation in recent years -- you’ll have to do your own research on that one. If you come to it with an open mind I think you’ll come to agree those vaccines are safe.)
