Meanwhile African countries are still waiting for a vaccine against Malaria to be delivered to them.

The only people who dislike vaccines are those who live in a world where vaccines are so successful they no longer have to care about the problem the vaccine is solving.


I think this is a true statement, but the lack of further comment is in itself a value judgement.

The only people who dislike vaccines, are people who felt lied to, or were forced to take them. Their concerns may have been invalid in some instances, or even most instances, but the fact remains that at least a few of their concerns were valid.

Aluminum, btw

Yeah that’s one of them.

There’s also often mercury - https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/thimerosal/index....

I actually had a similar theory as to where egg allergies come from. Many vaccines have egg in them

I thought mercury isn't used anymore in vaccines?


Still used, just not recommended in vaccines for children under 6

"Most vaccines are effectively laced with a chemical or biologic that the body will respond aggressively to"

Adjuvants to be exact. They're actually what Im annoyed at the most with (traditional) vaccines.
