Facts
The flu vaccine causes more deaths per year than chicken pox.
The direct injection of RSV immunoglobulin, commonly known as the "RSV vaccine" would prevent 16x more deaths than the flu vaccine does, but is too expensive.
There is a vaccine for the plague, and that is why it is no longer an epidemic.
Ebola is caused by vaccines.
There is a vaccine for autism, but it causes mumps.


Opinions
Vaccines do not contain thimerosal, a known toxin.
If you snuck up on your neighbor's kid and cut open his skull, you would be arrested.  But when brain surgeons do it, and charge hundreds of thousands of dollars, it considered "medicine."
99% of vaccines do not cause autism (HT JJ1000).
Every pedi has seen healthy kids become sick physically & mentally hours after a vax (HT Baryochai)
Vaccines cause cancer, infertility, astma, adhd etc (HT Baryochai)

My father has a scientific and medical background. And 30+ year's as pharmacist, medical science and medical research.

@jj1000  and I were discussing a cure for pancan s4. The cure works for rats, my father tried to get them to give us the drug through right to try. They wouldn't. It just wasn't ready for humans. My father's cousin died at 58 z'l

Anyone who thinks they are smarter than modern. Medicine go join Steve jobs.

Sure we are hurting ourselves by chemicals, pollutants etc etc but I detest people blaming everything on modern medicine. Very few people lived passed 40 even 150 years ago.

Those mother's crying how vaccinations are killing their kids? Just look up genealogy from 1800's, maybe 2 of 10 survived. The queen of England buried 17 kids!!

You cannot argue with these people. It's true that I avoid floride but I'm hardly Dr strangelove paranoid

This is skyguys point. Just be open instead of shouting people down, and hopefully that will listen to common sense. If there are any antivaxxers that could possibly be convinced, it will not be through the current tactics of bluster and condescension, deserved or not.

You mean sky121, not skyguy. And I would argue that while the 'shouting' doesn't work, neither does the common sense. It's not like no one has tried that before - it happens all the time, it just doesn't work.

Sorry, got confused. I dont think the common sense happens in the way described. At least I have not seen it. All I see is people loudly proclaiming that there are absolutely no risks and anyone concerned is looney

I've had 28? I think surgeries. Without them I'd be paralyzed.

The rebbe always says regarding doctors they are instructed "v'rafoh yerapeh"

I'm sorry these people want to piss on modern medicine. Dr Fred Epstein, the greatest neurosurgeon to live looked me in the eyes when I was 12 and said " you have 3 spinal tumors, 2 in year spine, 1 around it.. I can take them out but there's a 5% chance you'll be paralyzed"

And that was scary but we didn't run home.  We did the surgery and bh I'm great.

But I can tell you that had we run home from fear, the tumors would have paralyzed me.

I just don't get it... The average parent reading medical ingredients like it's a bottle of juice.. who the heck are you?!?

There's no rationality with these people. How about the many people who are alive only because of immunosuppressant drugs?!?! I'm sure that doesn't align with your kale smoothies.

P.s. my father's cousin and many other sick people I know used cannabis and it helped diddly squat shit so maybe it helps some but really it's not a miracle cure.

There are risks in drinking water and breathing air.  Do you do it?! Well you have no choice.

With a 90% spread rate, someone who doesn't vaxx and causes others to get measels is a rodef. I'd sue them straight up!!

We all have fears in life. That's nice, don't vaxx?!? Keep your kids the f*** home forever, ideally lose custody of your kids.

The idea that non-vaccination is exclusively (or even primarily) amongst the uneducated is just plain wrong.

There are risks to childbirth. Someone took those risks and had a child.

The article is backed by scientific proof. It's why we get frustrated by Rav kaminetzky who will say oh I heared from such and such doctor about such and such case

We can't question a gadol but he can trash medical science?!! ..so maybe he heard of 1 case.  Out of millions of vaccines given.

What happened to achrayos?!? I thought kashrus was about neemanus?!? Where is the neemanus here?!?

I have friends with real medical issues like agenesis of the corpus callosum and GVHD and people dying from cancer and I've seen yes in cases traditional Chinese medicine gekoe in part but it's 21st century medicine really helping people.

Also as someone who went deaf at 19 and can only hear due to an auditory brainstem implant.. I wonder how these people would have coped without medical science

Was gonna make that joke, but couldn't formulate it properly. You nailed it though.

We knew that this event was geared towards those without secular education. That was very apparent from the sign. It shows nothing about the movement in general.

I think that most who have been in this thread have seen how I am vociferously pro-vaccines. That comes from my having reviewed what anti-vaxxers have presented to downplay the benefits of vaccinating and seeing from their own sources that it is all a bunch of bunk. With the tremendous benefits of vaccines has come a streamlined approval process and a different vetting process with different check and balances than other drugs.

THIS IS THE WAY IT NEEDS TO BE.

On the other hand, this means that some of the claims made by the anti-vaxxers about the safety of vaccines are not entirely false. They are not tested in the same way as other drugs. The drug companies do not face the same liabilities if they produce defective products. The potential issues from this are made worse by the anti-vaxxers using this to push their agenda. That causes concerns and issues to be swept under the rug to counteract their dangerous claims.

Again, some of this is needed to avoid the false claims from gaining a larger following than they already have, but people eventually see through it. This is causing some who would otherwise be pro-vaccines to have concerns which may or may not have some level of legitimacy to them. Maybe there should be a level of post-approval testing to bring them to the same stringent approval standards of other drugs or something of that sort. Maybe there already is and it is not marketed well enough.

He addresses the testing about the effectiveness and not about safety. Either way, I fully agree and an only saying that testing can continue post-approval.

further to @aygart and the @yitzgar etc. There is a very nice and nuanced letter from the Federation Beis Din in UK, that I thought was delicately written and makes the point nicely and with consideration https://www.federation.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Press-release-on-measles-_-Federation.pdf

Why would you need testing post approval? And is the monitoring that's already in place not enough for that?

Maybe it is, but the logging of reactions by doctors in the field may not be as comprehensive since it relies on them connecting it to the vaccine whereas when there is a controlled test done all symptoms of any sort within the group will be recorded to find any patterns even if there is no apparent connection. When doctors are on the defensive about the vaccines their knee-jerk reaction will be to dismiss any connection and therefore not report it.

Also,
