Let’s throw out the dirty bathwater, but let’s not throw out the baby with it!

As much as I understand RFK Jr’s intentions to reform the entire vaccine landscape, I continue to caution against potential fundamental errors the new healthcare officials might make.
There is no doubt that despite all modern vaccine technologies and the extensive knowledge that has developed around them, vaccinology remains a highly empirical science. Any vaccinologist would have to admit that testing and developing a new vaccine is ultimately, to a large extent, a matter of trial and error. It may therefore be wise, indeed, to re-examine and analyze, using today’s knowledge and methodologies, the data underlying a whole series of vaccines that were eventually approved for the market in this way.
