vaccination research/reading

Vaccination is probably one of the hardest topics to have a rational discussion about. I have some reason to believe that the author of http://whyarethingsthisway.com/2014/10/23/the-cdc-and-cargo-cult-science/ is someone interested in looking for the truth, not winning a side - at the very least, I'd like to help him when he says this:

I'm getting started on reading the actual papers, but I'm hoping this finds someone who's already done the work and wants to go post it on his site, or if not, someone else who's interested in looking through papers with me - I do better at this kind of work with social support.

Are you actually going to respond to anything CellBioGuy said? I'm mildly curious if you are at all able to explicitly state when a piece of evidence doesn't support the position you thought it did and update your position accordingly. If not, continuing to discuss this is highly unlikely to be unproductive.

He "explained it in the comment" ? He responded with various explanations, which are at best theories. I stated facts.

I didn't see any pieces of evidence I stated that don't support the position I think they do. Can you name one?

You think the fact that every animal study injecting animals with viral mimics or aluminum or the like that has been pointed out to exist, all find damage, do you think that supports the vaccine safety position? You think the fact that the only RPC study injecting children with a vaccine or a placebo and following their h... (read more)
