> I think the burden of proof is on those who want to force everyone to be vaccinated to prove that none of these vaccines will ever kill a child.
That's a poor argument. I was once a proponent of further study based on Dr. Wakefield's "connection". Turns out his findings were absolutely bogus. And yet, it continues to impose unnecessary fear, and at times - death.
The burden of proof is far-stretching in this matter. For example, any one could supposedly find anything and then progress needs to stop to prove otherwise.
If an issue with a vaccine were to come to light, the solution is to make the vaccine better - not eliminate it.
It reminds me of Aspartame, probably the most studied food additive in the world, yet it still suffers propaganda from armchair MDs claiming carcinogenic, cancerous connections. Some of the connections being made aren't even scientific, just anecdotal hearsay. It's really disappointing to see people pushing fear instead of progress.
