THANK YOU for keeping us up to date and well informed on vaccine policy!

YES! This misguided eccentric was dangerous. Trump picked him and the Republican Senate endorsed him. A well meaning person with a “Witch Doctor” Philosophy should not have endorsed.

“immunization” was banned in 1840 in England. vaccination was a homeopathic idea based on the law of simila and had no theoretical way of providing immunity. Ofcourse there was claims made but when Louis Pastor introduced his version of the germ theory even germ theory did not support the idea that ‘cowpox’ could provide immunity to ‘smallpox’ These days they even claim that this years ‘flu vaccine’ didn’t ‘work’ because there was a slightly different strain than expected so the idea that ‘cowpox’ could provide immunity is ridiculous in modern germ theory. Theory or rather presumption is far away from actual evidence but even theory does not support the idea that vaccination constituted immunization. No variolation was banned and rejected by the people in favor of a fundamentally different homeopathic approach. https://hpathy.com/homeopathy-papers/hahnemanns-views-vaccination-reply-peter-fisher/

I’m a physician, trained in epidemiology and public health, who has led vaccine programs throughout my career. I’ve taken most vaccines and my kids are fully vaccinated. What I said above is absolutely factual. And only after I actually did the research and discovered that vaccines (pretty much all of them) have not undergone rigorous evaluation, did I come to the conclusions that I hold now. I would not take any vaccine nor would my kids be vaccinated knowing what I know now.

This is not a win for vaccine policy, nor for science. The goal was simple, and long overdue: stop effectively mandating vaccines for children that have not been adequately studied. Someone trained in epidemiology should know that important medical interventions like vaccines and pharmaceuticals should be subjected to rigorous double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trials before approving them (and effectively mandating them) for millions of children. None of the current vaccines on the childhood schedule have met this most basic principle of evaluation for risk/benefit. NONE. Please clarify for me, what is scientific about that?

This is your opinion and is not based in fact. All vaccines underwent rigorous testing and are constantly monitored for safety with risk/benefit assessment by regulators all around the world. This conspiratorial view you have is devoid of understanding the rigorous process and requirements for conducting vaccine development and testing and even more so the ongoing Global surveillance happening continuously in addition to the further clinical studies done around the world.

See my comments above. Everything I said is factual. There is no “rigorous testing” or “constant monitoring” of vaccine recipients going on anywhere in the world. All you need to do is show me one study that meets appropriate guidelines for safety and efficacy, as I mentioned. I’m not aware of any.

I remember back in 2009 there was all this spam/ slop sites like ‘science blogs’ and ‘skeptical raptor’. They generated so much content it was like a virus. By 2020 they generated the first massive AI atrocity with the ‘covid’ propaganda. There was bots all over the internet so it is not so much that AI slop is spreading in science but it originated in quackzines to “flood the space” with scientism long before it reached social media and video etc. In the early days maybe they did employ some ‘journalists’ but it would be difficult to dfiferentiate them from AI given the lack of sense displayed.
