[QUOTE="Ethan N, post: 3240580, member: 29267"] Woah boy that’s a big question. I’ve spent ridiculous amounts of time over the last three years looking for answers to that question, and I’ve mostly found more and more questions. But there is some head-turning data out there, and there’s more all the time. You’ll have to allow me to take some time to gather some things together on specific risks, in between trying to catch up on work after being sick for a week (don’t worry, I’m fully vaccinated other than the flu) and doing my own amateur title research on a house I want to buy. In the meantime, I’ll leave you to consider the non-specific risk that there’s a lot we don’t know about vaccine safety. For one, we have a very limited understanding of how the immune system works, and most vaccines administered today were invented in times when we knew even less. That makes it difficult to predict possible detrimental mechanisms that cause side effects or injuries. Second, while vaccines undergo testing and monitoring for safety, it is difficult to design informative studies on the safety of individual vaccines or the vaccine schedule as a whole due to ethical constraints and limited data, such as extraordinarily small sample sizes of unvaccinated individuals in most general populations. That combined with the fact that the standards for testing the safety of vaccines are not as stringent as those for ordinary drugs (e.g. a vaccine’s safety can be tested using a formulation other than what will actually be sold and administered, namely with different adjuvants) means what we [I]don’t[/I] know about the safety of vaccines is probably much greater than what we [I]do[/I] know. When you add to all of that the quietly growing evidence of various poor outcomes among children who receive the most vaccines and who receive them very early in life (which I’d like to identify more thoroughly as time permits), the need for more caution than is commonly recommended for evaluating the use of vaccines is clear.
