Why is there an international movement by researchers against vaccination?!

Pretty much everything in that article is a lie.

I don't have time to read the full document, but I'll go through the bullet points:-

1. In reality, only a small minority of medical personnel are opposed to vaccination. To be blunt, it requires massive cognitive dissonance. It means rejecting science and everything they have learned at school. But, there are cranks in every profession. Also, appeal to authority. What matters is the data. There is overwhelming evidence they work. Also, 80 MDs out of the thousands there are, is a drop in the ocean. It means nothing.

2. There is evidence of efficacy and safety- you've been shown this before. I can give you the evidence again if you want it.

3. It's a simple cost-benefit analysis. Vaccines are preferable. The diseases they prevent cause greater problems. The risks are very minuscule.

4. The Autism- vaccine link has been debunked to such an extent that this point, anyone still claiming the two are connected are dishonest or deluded.

5. With the exception of some of the newer ones, vaccines aren't that profitable to Big Pharma. Why do you think there is only one company left in the USA that still makes them? The treatment for the diseases vaccines prevent are profitable. In short, they make more money without the vaccine

6. Just because someone stands to make money from something does not mean it is bad or does not work. Do alt.med practitioners provide their services free of charge?

7. There is nothing wrong with any of the ingredients contained in vaccines. There is NO aborted fetal tissue is any vaccine. Claiming otherwise is terribly dishonest. In reality a few viral vaccines were grown in cell lines derived from an aborted fetus half a century ago. By the time the vaccine is produced no fetal cells are present. Naked DNA is harmless.

8. Doctors don't profit from vaccines. They simply charge the fee to administer. Uncontrolled diseases would unquestionably generate more money.

7. That's a lie.

In short, vaccines save lives, only crazy people oppose them.

This list is no different than the Dissent from Darwinism list or the Oregon petition (anti-evolution and global warming). You can always find cranks to add to your list or just include people without their consent. This is not how science works. You need data.

The data are one sided, which is why the antivaxxers have to resort to lies. Everything on that list is either an outright lie or public information you can get from the CDC.

You also really don't want to go down that line of argument.
What research credentials do you have? I'm an actual research scientist. I have institutional access to all those wonderful journals out there and I have read many on this topic.

Many of us in the alternative medicine community have grave concerns about the dangers of vaccination. Especially about excess vaccination of children in recent years, which is common. Very worrisome.

i consider it one of the most horrendous forms of abuse.
