What a difference three years makes

This is generally what I remember my kids getting. I think we even had a magnet on the fridge that was easier to read. I think in general my kids had about 10 or so vaccines. Sen Tuberville sounds a bit like an idiot....I know no one that died from the COVID vaccine, healthy or not.

Again, they are counting jabs, not individual types of vaccinations. So 4 DTaPs within the first 3 years, 2 HepB, 3 RV, 4Hib, 4 Pneumococcal, etc…

So Tuberville is worried about just the polio deaths.
Imagine at today’s population levels.
Vaccine-Preventable Diseases and Deaths (Pre-Vaccine Era)
1. Measles:
• 400–500 deaths annually
• Over 48,000 hospitalizations and 1,000 cases of encephalitis (brain swelling) each year.
2. Polio:
• Caused thousands of deaths and left tens of thousands of children permanently paralyzed annually during major outbreaks in the 1940s and 1950s.
3. Diphtheria:
• 15,000 deaths annually, mostly in children, before the vaccine was introduced in the 1920s.
4. Pertussis (Whooping Cough):
• Up to 9,000 deaths annually before the vaccine became available in the 1940s.
5. Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib):
• 1,000 deaths annually before the vaccine’s introduction in the late 1980s, primarily from meningitis.
6. Rubella (German Measles):
• Caused congenital rubella syndrome in thousands of infants during outbreaks, leading to up to 20,000 deaths or severe birth defects annually before the vaccine in 1969.
7. Tetanus:
• Approximately 500 deaths annually, including neonatal tetanus.
8. Chickenpox (Varicella):
• Caused 100–150 deaths annually and over 10,000 hospitalizations before the vaccine was introduced in the 1990s.
9. Rotavirus:
• Caused 20–60 deaths annually and over 200,000 hospitalizations in children under 5 before the vaccine became available in the early 2000s.
10. Pneumococcal Disease:
• Caused 200 deaths annually among children under 5 from meningitis and bloodstream infections before the vaccine. -
The fact that infant mortality is at an all time low doesn’t slow these cretins down?

Let’s play this game.
As far as what I have seen, the primary proposals Kennedy seems to be laying out with regards to vaccines are:
-
removing the legal protections given to vaccine manufacturers from liability claims.
-
A rigorous 3rd party independent study on the current crop of vaccinations to reevaluate efficacy, risk, and need.
So let’s say that they conduct the survey, and for the sake of having a discussion on a rainy and cold day, let’s say the study comes back and DOES show a link between vaccines and Autism… What then? Let’s say the numbers are 30 out of 1,000. Do you shut down the vaccines over that? What if the numbers are higher? Lower? What are the thresholds for what is an acceptable trade off?

There are dozens of studies with n in the hundreds of thousands and meta studies with n in the millions.
Adding one to their number won’t hurt anything per se. It’s these guys continuing to sow doubt in the minds of tens of millions of Americans. Damage is already starting to be done. We can thank Trump for that for giving this clown oxygen.
The mere idea of the government saying ‘we need more studies to see if these are safe’ would, and already has, sown doubt.

I think that the FDA in the US is the strongest in the world, and there is the longest time before approval of something entering the market.

Not when each and every one of us know someone murdered by the Covid vaccine.
I know someone who had it and the booster at minimum four times (if I recall correctly) and each and every time, it induced at least a one hour nap in the living room lazy boy recliner within 45 minutes of the shot.

Ive seen more flexibility in the EMA (Europe's equivalent). Pretty much all gene editing therapies do first-in-human tests in Europe and/or Australia. Same with RNA editing, though they might do Canada too. Then they come to the US after they have some safety data.
-
We have a drug in clinical trials that has approval for an achievable clinical trial end point in EMA but not yet with FDA.
While I know they ultimately need to get FDA approval to be financially successful, I asked them if there was a conceivable path where they got the easier EMA approval then applied for FDA approval based on ‘real world evidence’ (RWE) from a couple of years of usage in Europe. They took a look but in the end they told me the numbers didn’t work.

I'm guessing single digits.

RFK isn't basing his claims on science. It's a religion to him. We all know this.
What good will yet another study do? The autism claims have been gone over so many times. Enough already.

The problem that everybody is ignoring is that after COVID, a lot of reasonable and rational people walked away with a significant loss of trust in the current public health systems. A lot of people saw “thumbs on the scales” on a significant number of studies and tests and now wonder if that hasn’t been the case for a long time. And if public health was exaggerating and or outright lying on something’s, what else have they been fudging on? All the studies over the past 20 years are tainted now thanks to what we saw during COVID (as well as the ridiculous claims accepted by physicians over gender transitioning in children. For years we’ve been told that chemically castrating children to delay puberty is a good thing by “science” and decent physicians shrugged and went along with the experts… Studies are studies, after alll).
I personally believe the vaccines are fine. There are too many normal people running around the world, and too many other probable causes for various problems. But is it possible that a nontrivial number of infants are being damaged by some of these vaccines.? Let’s say the number isn’t single digit like @Jolly supposed. Let’s say it’s 30 out of 1000. From a public health perspective against something like Measles, that’s a win as the alternative is so much worse, right? But for a mother that’s reading the warning labels in the literature, she may figure those odds are a little too high when compared to the relatively low risk of her child contracting measles when everybody else is vaccinated. So she decides not to. If enough parents make that choice on an individual basis, then we introduce real risk. Maybe it’s best to round this 4.5 down instead of up. Hey, it’s 3 out 1000, much better!

I don’t think that was a problem at all related to studies. Rather losing trust through the ‘regulatory bank shot’ of saying masks didn’t work to keep the public from buying them, then doing a 180 once supplies were up and mandating their use. Or insisting everyone avoid crowds unless a sacralized racial group was involved in which case the virus would understand. Or labeling lab-leak as racist to make the subject taboo. Etc.
But not studies.

Sure, there are some concerns, some may even be valid. But putting RFK Jnr. in charge of HHS is like asking Alex Jones to form a task force to address media bias.
