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)

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,
Maybe there is and the only reason you assume there isn't, is because of all the noise made by the antivaxxers?

I think I wrote exactly that.
Maybe there already is and it is not marketed well enough.
I did try to find it but didn't.

My point was just that the reason you feel a need for it to be marketed better is because of fear mongering by antivaxxers

Maybe, but if I was able to find sources for their claims of lowered testing but nothing about how that is compensated for then the door is being opened for such a movement to start.

They would get a crowd of a few hundred people or larger in any other city, that they got a few hundred in a city with 40k+ people shows nothing about Orthodox Jews.

There were busses from Lakewood and probably also other areas. So it was 500 people from the whole tri-state area.

These parents are  soft and weak. Besides paranoid and disillusioned.

I'm sure there are ways of improving vaccination, but this mentality is scary.

Quote
average life expectancy has been between 20 and 40 years. In Britain it was only in the mid-1800s that this figure consistently rose above 40 years. Today in the UK average life expectancy is about 80 years. The main reason for this extraordinary advance is the fall in infant mortality. In 1800 one-third of British children died before their fifth birthday. Today that figure is less than one per cent. The big killers used to be infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, scarlet fever, smallpox, influenza, typhoid and cholera. If progress at reducing mortality continues then many children born since the year 2000 will live to celebrate their 100th birthday.

Part of me is shocked at some of the things that were said..but most of me isn't.   Such mishigas.    Was anyone there that can give us more info? Curious if anything helpful was said at all.
Doesn't seem like it.

Personally I wouldn't be shocked to find out that antivaxxers forged vaccination records to not have problems getting into school
