Aaron Siri: Vaccines, Amen The Religion of Vaccines; "They're just products. Judge them as products"

Aaron Siri comes at vaccines from a lawyer’s angle: what was tested, how it was licensed, what the government claims, and what the data actually shows.
He begins with history. “In the early eighties, we had three routine vaccines—MMR, OPV, DTP. That was it. No apocalypse.” Children passed measles, mumps, and chickenpox among themselves. These illnesses, inconvenient and sometimes dangerous, did not end society. In fact, he notes, “study after study shows those who had measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox have lower rates of cancer and far lower rates of heart disease.”
The COVID vaccine studies, often criticized as too short, were—by comparison—the best we have ever had. “The COVID vaccine trials, as short as they were, were more robust than almost any childhood vaccine trial,” he says. “Not a single routine injected childhood vaccine was licensed on a placebo-controlled trial with something inert. Not one. And most safety reviews? Days. Weeks. Laughable.”
