RE: Vaccines: When You're Neither Really Pro or Anti-Vaxx
Vaccines are huge lifesavers and the anti vaccine movement is insane. Even trivial research will show how much of a difference vaccines have made.
If you dont like the profit model in the USA thats a different conversation. But vaccines are fantastic, period. And the industry does push unnecessary ones. Travel internationallyand you will find a host of new things that you can get vaccinated against but arent because those diseases arent in your region of the world.
Yes, but I am asking for a more nuanced approach to the topic because, like most things, there are trade-offs. Some concerns about vaccines are unwarranted while others should be worrying, like this study that regressed vaccination against infant mortality and found a strong link:

Tell that to the parents of the dead ones. Period.
Baseless claims, appeal to common practice, and ad hominems do not an argument make. Please go back and do the research again. Try to dig a bit deeper than the trivial and you might find some facts.
Vaccines cause injury, period. Vaccines do exist, and are therefore not fantastic.
