RE: The Reality Behind Vaccines
It's an irrelevant request. Vaccines have been studied to death, the amount of work published on them is staggering. If your so obsessed over rat generational studies then go read about any of a variety of vaccines tested upon rats and deemed safe. Surely those generational breeding studies are fine? Probably not, because if it's not that then it's something else.
The antivax movement is irresponsible. It's not an accusation, it's verifiable fact. Really in this case those who refuse to vaccinate are being outright negligent and should be held accountable when an immuno compromised individual dies from an infection they brought around (they can't be, because you could never prove who is actually the responsible party, plus it could be a childs fault, and you can't blame a child for their parents destructive actions). Refusing to vaccinate is wilfully allowing diseases to harm others.
Anti science, anti health, unsafe, irresponsible, reckless behavior.
If rats are good enough why don't we just jump straight from testing on rats to the market?
This is not even about vaccines alone, we are not carrying out long term studies on anything really. That doesn't mean nothing works, it just means we really don't know if they do or how they really do.
I'm not supporting the refusal to get vaccinated, I am rallying for honesty. If we don't do long term studies then we can't really call it science.
Your definition of long term is just asinine. Plenty of vaccines have now been used for multiple generations to no negative effects. Like it or not, your data is there.
All the while antivaxers cause things like this:

Which is only going to get worse.
Questioning the experimentation around vaccines or any other treatment should not be equated to supporting discontinuation of use, that jump is asinine.
I'm not talking about using vaccines over several generations but the opposite, keeping a close eye on those who are not getting vaccinated over generations to have an actual comparison point and be able to call it science.
Ad hominem is not argument, neither is appeal to tradition. CBS news is not a reliable source. Measles has appeared moving through vaccinated populations as well.
