No, they don't. Ask any health official. We just had a high schooler die of meningitis 3 months ago, this kid was a star student, everybody loved him. 3 days later, DEAD. Why? Because his parents had "thought it best" to not give him the 2-shot meningitis vaccine. Vaccines are safe and proven. We in pharma, you know the actual people doing the medicine, spend billions to test them against giant cohorts to ensure safety and efficacy. Some rando on the internet feels they know better? Sit down please, you do not. Go get a medical degree ... you do not have the expertise to be credible on this, and neither does RFK.

- arjie 9mo agoMy parents are both surgeons. You're right in that I don't trust some rando on the Internet (that would be you, this time) over them.
- jaybrendansmith 9mo agoI'm happy you have surgeons to consult. But surgery has nothing to do with pharmacology. That's like asking a cardiologist about your cancer. The specialization of therapeutic area, let alone profession, is intense.

- mindslight 9mo agoThis comment is not 100% open and shut correct. But it is the correct 95% starting point and only worth deviating from after a significant amount of diligent work. If one doesn't understand this, then one simply has not yet appreciated how much work it takes to form even a single informed opinion. Also, wasn't revisiting the overall advice in the context of smaller ethnic and gender subgroups one of the things that many researchers were doing before the angry mob overran and burnt down our institutions?
