We are not allowed debate at all on any mainstream media and now you are arguing to take away our only platform. The Institute of Medicine admits that studies on the safety of vaccines are very poor and there has never been a vaccinated/unvaccinated study.
The IOM
“encountered many gaps and limitations in knowledge bearing directly and indirectly on the safety of vaccines.”43 The IOM also remarked on the poor design of the few vaccine studies that had been conducted, stating these “studies are too small or have inadequate length of follow-up to have a reasonable chance of detecting true adverse reactions.”44 Moreover, the IOM reported that “existing surveillance systems of vaccine injury have limited capacity to provide persuasive evidence of causation.”45

The IOM thus cautioned in its 1991 report that: “If research capacity and accomplishment in this field are not improved, future reviews of vaccine safety will be similarly handicapped.”46

As in 1991, this IOM Report from 1994 again stated: “The lack of adequate data regarding many of the adverse events under study was of major concern to the committee. Presentations at public meeting indicated that many parents and physicians share this concern.”54

Another acute concern raised by the IOM in 1994 was the potential risks posed by combining vaccines. The IOM noted that this subject simply had not been studied: “The committee was able to identify little information pertaining to the risk of serious adverse events following administration of multiple vaccines simultaneously. This is an issue of increasing concern as more vaccines and vaccine combinations are developed for routine use.”55
