How about that time studies implicated the flu vaccine in an increased risk of miscarriage and yet, in the same breath, it was still adamantly recommended?
Or how about that time we found out that during trials for the HPV vaccine, participants developed autoimmune conditions, which were being labeled as new medical history instead of adverse events?
How about the time the ACIP voted "yes" on a new Hep-B vaccine (after it had been denied twice) even after 14 people suffered myocardial infarctions?
Oh, and who can forget about how the HHS admitted they haven't done a single report on safety, manufacturing, and proposed methods for reduction of vaccine injuries in 30 years (although such a report is mandated by the National Vaccine Injury Program)?
I guess all of that is no big deal if you aren't bothered by miscarriage, autoimmune conditions, heart attacks, or the fact that none of those things have been properly reviewed, reported on, or sought to be improved upon by the HHS.
Why do we think that sacrifice "for the greater good" is okay?
IT'S STILL SACRIFICE.
And that's assuming that vaccines are effective (which is, at the very least, debatable).
All the people who have been affected by vaccine injuries were/are real people. Sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters. People with dreams and desires and potential. We have to stop sweeping this under the rug and have an honest conversation about this issue.
