I still don't understand your point.

I thought I was being explicit. You wrote:

Its a fact that the only RPC study I know of that injected a vaccine or a genuine placebo into children and followed their health (not whether they got some specific disease) for more than a few months, reported vaccine recipients got 4 times as many respiratory illnesses as placebo recipients

You wrote that in response to a comment which specifically talked about the study in question, but made no effort to actually address the point about that study. That's completely failing to engage in the argument in question and makes one have to wonder if you actually read what he wrote to notice he talked about that same study.
