H/T WND. The American Academy of Pediatrics is apparently endorsing the end of conscientious objections to childhood vaccinations, apparently forgetting that in the past five years, multiple vaccines have been found to pose serious dangers to a portion of those taking them--for example, the link between COVID vaccines and myocarditis. One would think that failures like this would impart a bit of humility at the AAP, but apparently not.
Really, this has been my complaint with public health officials and vaccine advocates for over a quarter century; it never seems that they simply present the benefits and risks, and let us make our own decisions. Rather, it's generally been "do this or you're stupid", followed by attempts to make them mandatory, even when the vaccines are new and relatively unproven.
All too often, our public health authorities seem to be their own worst enemies. You've got this, you've got the push for pediatric transgender interventions (leading to a LOT of permanently mutilated young people), and finally we had the disastrous public health approach to COVID that did things like put COVID patients into nursing homes--the most vulnerable place in the world. Hopefully public health officials and the AAP learn their lesson and start actually working from data and evidence before their credibility is completely squandered.
