I get frustrated with her sometimes, because her ideas are incredibly rational and coherent, but she doesn't understand presentation or how to sell an idea.
I would recommend her book if you want to gain an understanding of the rationalist arguments against modern vaccination:
https://www.amazon.com/Dissolving-Illusions-Disease-Vaccines...
It's controversial thought, but it is enlightening, especially if you want to understand why some "otherwise" smart people believe this nonsense
My early childhood passed in a city where meat was sold on pushcarts and where drinking tap water was an easy way to have an infection. I guess having the unnatural disease matter filled with metals injected into my muscle might have saved me from becoming a statistic.
I've never heard of Humphries before your comment. I searched and found a long video of Humphries where she says, at the outset:
>> "never has there been a safe vaccine, never will there be a safe vaccine, and it is not possible to have a safe vaccine." [1]
IMO, a reasonable person would call that an anti-vaccine point of view, don't you think? Calling it pro-vaccine-safety seems disingenuous.
Anyways, I agree with you that she seems well read and she articulates her position in a level-headed manner and I'm even open to her being correct. But her position seems to be very anti-vaccine because she tells us that vaccine safety is "not possible" and that there will never be a safe vaccine.
