Yes, it seems to me that there is a confusion about vaccines. The problem is not vaccines per se, but bad medicine and bad science. Check “Rigor mortis” by Richard Harris, or “Pandora’s Lab” by Offit

I agree. The Harris book is in the same vein as "Malignant: How Bad Policy and Bad Evidence Harm People with Cancer," by Vinay Prasad. I also really like and trust Paul Offit. Like Prasad, he is overall pro-vaccine, but will tell you honestly when you are in a demographic for whom the vaccine is unnecessary or not recommended. I'm very glad he is on the FDA vaccine advisory committee. Both doctors stick to data for their recommendations, not politics. As a result, they tend to aggravate both the right and the left, so you know they're doing something right! :) Thanks for the recommendations.
