Don't forget there was a time when scientist were saying cigarettes were healthy. Obviously paid scientist, but if you look at what goes on today most drug companies have university researchers on their payrolls. Most research in this country that isn't don't by the private sector is done by universities. Now the pharma companies have the university researchers in their pockets, whom can you trust?

I'm not against vaccinations but there are some that are very sketchy and might be linked to other problems and everything isn't always black & white.
This is a little off the topic, but your mentioning side effects reminded me of it. A while back there were a bunch of ads on TV for a drug that helped with social anxiety. The commercials showed this hot woman finally feeling good about herself, putting on a tight pair of shorts and a tank top and playing volleyball at a park with a bunch of people that could have been models.

As they list the side effects suicide, anal leakage, diarrhea and high blood pressure were among them...so it's great! You will feel like hanging out with people again! Sadly, you will shit yourself and leak from your ass while out with them then go home and shoot yourself.

It made me laugh, but when you think about it, should we really be putting drugs on the market where suicide is one of the side effects?
