I'm curious if you believe that only scientists can practice science.

  Since we're talking about vaccines and medicine, what kind of science and what kind of scientists are we talking about here? What would amateur medical empiricism with human subjects look like? Every society has scientists and doctors, and every society must decide how to establish harmony with their professional medical groups.

  Of course not! I would hope every student practices science as part of a general childhood education. But when it comes to potentially life-saving medicines or therapies, the standard should be a bit more rigorous than sixth-grade classroom experiments.
