    Taking chemicals out of food is dangerous. Wanting informed consent for medication is dangerous

    Transparency and accountability are the prerequisites of trust. If vaccines are safe and effective then why are their manufacturers shielded from liability? Why are the vaccines not safety tested against placebo like other medicines? Why don’t we have data publicly available on all health outcomes in vaccinated vs unvaccinated?

      A big vaccine trial will involve about 30,000 to 40,000 subjects. Such a trial is not likely to reveal harmful side effects that have an incidence of 1 in 100,000 or 1 in 1,000,000. Juries are likely to be sympathetic to the victims rather than the pharmaceutical companies, even if the companies are not at fault. The end result of a lot of lawsuits like this is that no pharmaceutical companies would remain that would be willing to take the risk of making vaccines. There is no big money in vaccines. Pharmaceutical companies make most of their money on pills that people take every day. Instead of the pharmaceutical companies bearing the cost of vaccine lawsuits, The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) covers most vaccines routinely given in the U.S.
      When a vaccine is developed for a disease for which there is no existing vaccine, it is tested against a placebo. To be licensed, it has to perform better than the placebo. When a new vaccine is developed for the same disease, it is tested against the existing vaccine. There is an ethical reason for this: people who get a placebo are not protected against the disease.
      There are publicly available data on the safety of vaccines. The FDA and the CDC jointly operate the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS). Anyone can report an adverse event, and anyone can search the database. There is a tutorial on the VAERS website on how to search the database. You do not have to show that an adverse event was causally related to the vaccination in order to report it. The United Kingdom has a similar system called "Yellow card."

    Katie, ask someone to share their story of losing their good health due to side effects of meds. Meds that are banned in other countries.

      But Katie won't do that, because she would be shunned by her leftist tribe. For people like her, that is a fate worse than death. People like Katie prefer to remain willfully blind.

    However, so many medications with horrible side effects ( thalidomide, for one) are pushed by the medical field and okayed by the fda. There is some legitimate concerns and distrust of the medical profession

      You shouldn't say "pushed by the medical field". You should instead say "pushed by multi-billion dollar corporations".

      Thalidomide was not approved by the FDA because the safety data were incomplete.

    Many of the scientists and engineers I've worked with have a benevolent aspect to their personalities. They couldn't find job satisfaction in most other careers.

    Tyson is correct: there is a chance Kennedy may shift from representing and being close to grieving parents. He was committed to their need to place blame for their children's illness. Mother's especially harbor self-blame irrationally. Now Kennedy will be representing the public interest and being in different circles. I hope also.

      We have nicotine receptors in our body.
      There is nicotine in natural foods.
      Governments enjoy high taxes on tobacco while shaming and fear-mongering citizens over side-effects.
      "Adults" can make their own informed decisions, surely.
      Ban socialist, communist, marxist regressive nanny-state big-brother over-reach.
