Please allow me to introduce the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986. This law states: “No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable in a civil action for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death associated with the administration of a vaccine after October 1, 1988, if the injury or death resulted from side effects that were unavoidable even though the vaccine was properly prepared and was accompanied by proper directions and warnings.”
If vaccines are so safe and effective, what are the people who make them so afraid of?
That law was a wake-up call for me. Prior to its passage, I was sanguine about vaccines. What's not to like? Well, as it happens, there's lots to dislike and a great deal to seriously fear. At this point, I would not vaccinate a child with *anything* on the schedule. The risk is dreadful and the benefit is dubious.
