Are HC professionals even cognizant of what's actually in vaccines? Are patients permitted truly informed consent?

Using "intellectual curiosity" as bait is a classical example of the poor discourse utilized by pseudoscientists and snake oil salesmen.Adjuvants?
DNA/RNA fragments?
No intellectual curiosity of what happens when parenterally administered?
Or just pass the tests and pick up big fat checks and don't want to know nothing?

The ability to discard bad ideas is critical to the success of both science and the human species. For the same reason we do not touch every hot surface to make sure our prior knowledge about other hot surfaces does not also apply to this new hot surface, we do not need to re-evaluate the vaccine issue time and time again. It's been studied ad nauseam and diced apart many times in the literature, which you have conveniently discarded in favor of a random video on the internet. I look forward to the day that I can be on my state's medical board so that I might strip away the licenses of fools that happen to carry medical licenses, for the anti-vaccine movement is the most dangerous anti-science movement to be spawned in a century. If you are trolling, I implore you to stop, because some idiot might buy in to the nonsense and you might actually cost some people their lives.

The adjuvant is the part the body recognizes to develop immunity. Next time you get a cold your body will be flooded with them. DNA fragments are also everywhere and in anything you eat...

Note I didn't say it's not okay to discard legitimate questions, I said it is essential to discard bad questions about settled science. For the same reason we shouldn't be doing double-blind trials on germ theory or funding massive projects to determine whether the sky is, in fact, blue, we should not be wasting our time or effort on things like the anti-vax movement that legitimately cost measurable numbers of lives for nothingI disagree with your assertion that it is dangerous to ask questions. This type of authoritarian response is an attempt to quash a questioning mind. It is dangerous and destroys transparency. A open society with the ability to present independent evidence that goes against the accept norm is very important.

It is a problem for the same reason it would be a problem if he were demanding a trial testing germ theory. That is a question that will kill people just to re-examine settled science, and is this unethical to explore. There comes a point at which things can no longer be ethically explored, as the question has been thoroughly answered beyond any reasonable doubt, and the price of exploring such a question becomes a violation of a physician's duty to do no harm."legitimate" "bad questions" do you realize how subject and open to interpretation these adjectives are?

Oh, and as to "censorship-" there is a degree past which speech becomes dangerous. There is a reason you can't yell fire in a theater, bomb in an airport, etc. He is free to say whatever he chooses, but I firmly believe that those espousing opinions that endanger the lives of individuals should be held to account by licensure boards and the public. You may disagree, but you haven't had patients die because they forewent conventional medicine in favor of pseudoscience hawked by naturopaths, quacks, and chiropractors. I have. And I feel they should be held criminally responsible for manslaughter. Any parent should feel free to not vaccinate their child, but if their child contrats a preventable illness, they should be tried for child abuse, and if their child dies they should be charged with manslaughter. Because that's what it is- people with half-baked opinions killing other people in a negligent fashion."legitimate" "bad questions" do you realize how subject and open to interpretation these adjectives are?

You must have got a C on the immunology course. Haptens anybody?
And there's a lot more to adjuvants the industry does want you to know about.
One major reason that the vaccine schedule is more compressed than you would like, is the fact that younger patients are seeing their physicians more often/reliably. It’s a compromise for practicality.I would say that the current vaccine regimen we use could benefit from being revamped. I am definitely not on board with all the HPV vaccine pushing, as there have been some serious documented issues relating to it.
Additionally, there is no reason for the rush to complete all of the vaccinations we force on our infants. I think reducing the number of required vaccines and simply spreading them out over a few extra years could help a lot with the stigma behind vaccine based issues. Especially, pushing some of the vaccines until paste the age of 2 when signs of autism are typically noticed.
To make matters worse, the flu vaccine has been quite useful for fueling the anti-vax movement. It has been sub-optimal numerous times over the past several years. To go along with this, I wonder how much benefit we get from forcing mandatory flu vaccine every year. Yes the virus mutates year to year, but at some point your immune system should have enough variants of the flu vaccine to be as well protected as whatever their best guess is every year. Heck, if I recall, there were at least 2-3 years recently that used the same virus variants. I guess your immune system forgets what the virus looks like over the summer.

I work in hospital pharmacy so im not really up on it, but the vaccination requirements pushed buy CVS, Walgreens etc seem like a waste of pharmacist time. What kind of profit do they produce. You have to stop everything to give a $30 flu shot?

We don't live in a libertarian dystopia, thankfully. We live in a nation where life has value that is backed by law. Children should not die because of the dumb decisions of their parents, that is child abuse plain and simple. Your tribe could believe beating kids senseless is the proper way to discipline them, feeding them poison makes their body stronger, starvation will make them live longer, or faith will heal their easily treatable but fatal without treatment condition, but all of these things are child abuse and the parents should be imprisoned. Patients should be free to do whatever they want with their treatment, but anyone offering a treatment that causes harm either directly or by causing a patient to not seek conventional treatment that could save them is committing malpractice and should be in prison.IT's about patient Autonomy. If a patient has a religion or strong beliefs they should be allowed to chose their treatment or lack of treatment. I understand that this is controversial given that events like this happen Faith-Healing Parents Charged in Girl's Death: Officials but at the end of the day this is their tribal beliefs that they have chosen to live and possibly die by. I don't think the government or medicine should override individuals right to religion (obviously it does as the government has charged the parents with criminal charges which I think is unfair). I agree with you that the pseudo science snake oil medicine doesn't work but I still firmly believe people should be allowed to live their life the way the want with minimal government intervention, even if that means members of their tribe dying early and unnecessarily.

To be fair, the Libertarian Party doesn't have any official views on child neglect, and most libertarians really don't think about it. And when they do, most libertarians agree that saying adults should have the right to do whatever they want, can't really be transferred over to children, at least young children. In principle at least, libertarians will say that nobody has the "right" over another, and that includes a parent over the child. Now how that would actually play out in real life, is tricky, and libertarians generally don't talk about it.
To surmise, there is no indication that a "libertarian dystopia" would include the right of parents not to get their children medical care. Although it certainly could, as even today, parents do have the right to refuse medical care for their children in many cases.
I'm not a libertarian, but their logic is very simple. They don't want the government to have more control than the family. Why? Just look at Alfie Evans. Libertarians aren't too bad on domestic policy, but their foreign policy is idiocy. They want to withdraw from the world which would diminish our global influence and essentially hand the planet over to our enemies.

I feel like you guys are taking the argument against vaccines and misrepresenting it as a hyperbole argument for the more ridiculous voodoo science so that it can be easily dismissed. It can't be easily dismissed that vaccines are pushed on the public in a for-profit manner that makes large corps. millions in profit a year. Technicians are being forced to stand outside the pharmacy with a sign and try to sign people up for vaccines by bribing individuals with cash/gift cards. I'm not an anti-vaxer by any means but I feel that their effectiveness is being over stated, especially to the public due to the strong desire to make money/profit off the public's ignorance.

No. Voodoo science is based on cultural tradition of generations. Anti-vax movement is based on one man’s deception that cost him his medical license. I have more faith in voodoo than explicit lies.I feel like you guys are taking the argument against vaccines and misrepresenting it as a hyperbole argument for the more ridiculous voodoo science so that it can be easily dismissed.

Since I never met one of my uncles and one of my aunts (opposite sides of the family) due to succumbing to measles and pertussis before a vaccine was available, oddly enough, even if I accepted the problems to be certain, I'd personally prefer an autistic child to a dead one. After the longitudinal analyses continually done and increased monitoring, I simply do not believe the evidence. It actually does break my heart to see children hospitalized (or dead in the case of pertussis) for what should have been trivially preventable diseases. I have no sympathy for parents who should know better.
As for autistic children, assortative mating does not exactly help. Scientists do not marry secretaries anymore, they marry other scientists. What do you expect to happen besides the child has a stronger probability of resembling them and possibly even more trait-specific?

The naturopath I go to hasn't been vaccinated. Neither has his parents or his children yet they are still alive and thriving. Can you explain this? I don't want to hear the tired old "herd immunity" theory either. Herd immunity today has no correlation to its original definition. Someday you may have to admit that you don't know everything and be humbled.

Lol dude if you go to a naturopath... LOL. I’d rather blow my money at the casino, booze, hell even cryptocurrency... all of the above are a thousand times better than wasting money on a fake doctor.
You realize naturopaths are completely full of **** and selling you snake oil? Ffs... you’re a pharmd. Use your brain man.
Have you been to one or are you just referencing your 30 yr old brain? Or Wikipedia? That's the extent of millennial knowledge today. Experts at nothing.

I always encourage people who are "anti-vax"
We, as a society, have been undoing natural selection, or at least perverting it.
If the dumbest, most disease ridden dinguses reproduce at the highest rate due to modern politics, we might as well encourage them to bring back the plague

I don't respond to 9/11 truthers or flat earthers with "educated" responses either.Insults and no educated response. Typical. When the daycare owner complained about his kids not being vaccinated he simply replied, "If the other kids are vaccinated then it shouldn't be a problem. Should it?". That shut him up.
I give him credit for standing up to the vaccine Nazis. Other first world countries don't vaccinate to the degree we do. Follow the dollars. The CDC and Big Pharma work hand in hand and use the populace as guinea pigs.
