Oh sure, sure…
You understand that it is professional scientists conducting systematic reviews who repeatedly find vaccine safety research to be low/very low quality, right?
Just by the laws of averages I'm sure that there a some low quality studies, but I'm fairly certain that the overall body of work is robust. I explained to you earlier what the aim of this study cited was and how it was impossible to create a true control group here. Why do you believe it's low quality?
The context of the meaning of safety?
As a parent, the context of the meaning of safety is, what is my child’s risk from the disease versus the vaccine? If you want to give my healthy child a vaccine to protect against an almost non-existent threat, you’d better have something better than low/very low quality evidence that it’s safe.
I recognize that this is a privileged position, and that I have the benefit of healthy children and easy access to care… vaccination might make sense for others without such privilege, and I’d imagine risk skews in favor of vaccination in other areas/circumstances.
The fact that your are casting aspersions and resorting to name calling and deflection is very telling, and suggests that you probably understand your argument has no merit.
Do you forget that your privileged position was brought to you by modern science, engineering and MEDICINE. Most people in the western world today don't need to worry about the infectious diseases which used to plague previous generations because of modern advancements which includes herd immunity brought to us by mass vaccinations. Your fine with accepting and living with this privilege and not acknowledging and taking part with what gave it to us? How is a child contracting the measles and passing it on to others safer than the measles vaccine?
And if you're going to cite febrile seizures, we've had this discussion in the past. You didn't respond to this post:
