“That’s not how science works. You can’t separate the good effects from the bad effects of vaccines. “
Oh yes it is. The effectiveness of vaccinations in protecting against communicable disease is not even a subject of debate. The means and methods are subject to change as improvements in those means and methods are made - and the supporting data becomes available.
It’s the BS from the anti-vaccine crazies that is the only subject of debate. Yes, there are effects for everything you do, medically, but ultimately, with the state of vaccine research today, you are left with the statistics of illness and vaccination as your guide, until we get better data. The statistics say that you are putting your kids at risk of severe illness if you ignore the vaccination guidelines.
As vaccine research advances, guidelines change - this is a strength of science, not a weakness as some of the crazies will have you believe.
Anyway THAT is how science works with regards to vaccines.
I did not argue that vaccines do provide protection from vaccines, though it isn't a perfect protection.
What I did say was that vaccination carries some risk, which you want to ignore. Science doesn't ignore the risks, it's politicians and marketers who hide the risk and only talk about the benefits.
