Nothing is 100% safe for all people. But it’s like 99.9% and vaccines have saved innumerable lives. Thanks to vaccine skeptics now we are seeing measles again and soon enough we may see polio. It’ll take much suffering to undo the damage inflicted by anti vaxxers.

Where do we get this 99.9% number when the very science needed to make that claim has never been done? If one resorts to just pulling numbers out of one’s ass, you ought to realize such a thing is a *belief* and not science. I realize that you and I were told this is true, but why is the largest demographics of those who are certain vaccines cause significant damage, made up of mothers of autistic children? There’s quite possibly no group *less* incentivized to believe such a thing as this group, yet here we are.

And if we just look at the general health of the population over the last 30-40 years and the explosion of chronic disease, it’ll have to be profound for “the damage” of people skeptical of those who refuse to back up their claims to compare to the damage of the health establishment’s practices and standards and their results.
