And how many long term tests have you personally performed or at least how many scientific studies have you persnally analized to know if an ingredient is 100% safe?
"Natural" doesn't mean much these days. I presume here it means "it won't result in short or long term harm".
> Cars, the internet and modern medicine aren't "natural" either...
Yap not natural. And "new car smell" that so many people love and appreciety is pretty bad for you.
> There are literally tons of people who will ridicule anti-vaccination nuts, then turn around and insist all food be "natural", completely oblivious to the hypocrisy.
You mean real world is not 100% black and white? I think it is reasonable to assume vaccines are safe and result in a net benefit if taken yet to being skeptical of new and untested long term compounds. This has happened many times with known "safe" chemicals that let us down. BPA and plastics, DDT, medication that caused birth defects. The track record of vaccines letting us down doesn't come close to that.
