If the researcher does not produce the desired results you bin their research and don't use them again, if it's on a big scale you withdraw their funding. Most researchers will produce what they are asked to produce.

You make very good point at the end. For those who really believe in vaccines there are 3 things that can help protect you:-

1. NEVER receive more than 1 vaccine at a time (like dyna mo says). Unfortunately official policy is to give more than 1 vaccine at a time as it's good for business; they don't know if you'll come back in 2 weeks time.

2. NEVER get vaccinated when you have a fever

3. NEVER get vaccinated when malnourished.

If the three rules above were kept to we'd have a lot less people with auto-immune disorders and in Special schools.

For those who don't want to look any further into vaccines, it won't hurt you to take those 3 points above onboard for the future.
