Local hypersensitivity reactions happen with all vaccines. That's why they tell you to stay in the pharmacy for 15 minutes after you get a shot. It has nothing to do with thimerosol. The reason you accept that is that we take immunological advice from immunologists, not from partisan nincompoops who read something that sounds bad on the internet and go, "SeE!? WhY mAkE ShOt? iT hUrT bAbY1!!"
I'm reiterating why your "why not play it safe" shtick is a toxic mischaracterization and deflection that downplays the very real harm his JAQ conspiracy ideation has caused in the world. The answer to "why not play it safe?" is "you're not playing it safe, your trolling and people are taking your megaphoned ignorance as gospel, often at the expense of their own children."
You're not making a great case to mandate over 30 vaccines for kids without proper testing.
Nobody is arguing that. But rigorous testing in line with most western nations, seems fair.
Yeah, I don't like when the government forces every child to get a shot from a big pharma organization that pays the FDA to get through the testing with shitty made up science. I think there should be rigorous testing, which there are good trials, but just to be more in line with most of western europe, as opposed to safeguarding big pharma companies.
ALL vaccines are properly tested. Stop implying they're not.

And I don't like when my toddler gets measles from your un-vaxxed kid before they're old enough to be inoculated. Don't want a government mandated vaccine? Then don't interact with the general public. Problem solved.
Bullshit. Source your claims. I'd bet my life savings you couldn't even read the findings of a Phase III clinical trial without relying on quora.com for support.
There is and there are. Next.
Done. Next.
Absolutely murdered. I upvoted your comment, kind stranger
