American Academy of Pediatrics: 'No Science' Needed to Prove Vaccines Are Safe - Really!
After publicly declaring that all vaccines are safe and not linked to autism, the American
Academy of Pediatrics refused to provide a single shred of scientific evidence to support
their claims.
Even more laughably, the AAP said that there� no need to provide any evidence at all, since
the safety of vaccines is assumed to be true.
Thus, who needs science when there�s such a widespread feeling of certainty?
This is the sad state of the abandonment of science by the entire medical establishment,
which now employs troll farms to viciously smear and attack any person who refuses to
mindlessly worship the �Religion of Vaccines.�
Vaccines are uniquely declared exempt from all scientific scrutiny � or even any convincing,
legitimate evidence of safety � based entirely on the woo woo feelings of vaccine promoters
whose actions resemble psychopathic cult members more than defenders of legitimate science.
American Academy of Pediatrics Refuses to Back Vaccine Claims with Science
When asked whether it could provide studies to support specific claims it made about vaccine
safety, the American Academy of Pediatrics ultimately declined.
On January 10, 2017, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) issued a press release
to express its opposition to a federal commission that has been proposed by the Trump administration
to examine vaccine safety and efficacy.
The AAP argues that since we already know that vaccines are safe and effective, therefore
there is no need for further examination into their safety and efficacy.
This argument, however, begs the question � it presumes in the premise the proposition
to be proven (the petitio principii fallacy).
And the press release itself illustrates why, apart from the question of whether there should
be a federal commission, critical examination of public vaccine policy is very much warranted.
In its press release, among other things, the AAP stated that:
Vaccines prevent cancer.
Claims that vaccines are linked to autism �have been disproven by a robust body of
medical literature�.
Claims that vaccines �are unsafe when administered according to the [CDC�s] recommended schedule�
have likewise �been disproven by a robust body of medical literature�.
According to the AAP, its own claims are backed by solid science.
Yet when asked whether it could provide citations from the medical literature to support its
claims, the AAP first failed to do so, then essentially offered a �No comment� when
pressed for a comment about its failure to do so.
With respect to the claim that vaccines prevent some forms of cancer, the AAP was asked:
Can you please direct me to any studies in the peer-reviewed medical literature showing
any vaccine prevents cancer?
With respect to the other two, the AAP was asked the following questions:
Can you please direct me to the studies you are referring to in this body of literature
that took into account the possibility of a genetically susceptible subpopulation?
Can you please point me to the studies in this body of literature that have compared
health outcomes, including but not limited to developmental regression (i.e., autism),
for children who�ve receive the CDC�s full schedule of vaccinations with children
who�ve remained completely unvaccinated?
An initial email to the AAP containing these questions went unanswered.
The email was followed up with a phone call.
Lisa Black, the AAP�s Media Relations Manager, assured that she would get back with answers
to the questions.
In a subsequent email, Ms. Black replied, �Please see information that AAP has posted
for parents on this page�, which was followed by a link to a list of studies on the website
HealthyChildren.org.
However, none of the listed studies on that page supports the AAP�s claim that �vaccines
prevent � forms of cancer�.
None apparently considered the possibility of a susceptible subpopulation with a genetic
susceptibility to adverse reactions to vaccines.
And none compared health outcomes of fully vaccinated children with completely unvaccinated
children.
The list provided does contain numerous studies finding no association between vaccines and
autism, but even the listed safety review by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) doesn�t
go so far as to say that the hypothesis has been �disproven�.
On the contrary, the IOM acknowledges that it is biologically plausible that vaccines
might cause autism in a genetically susceptible subpopulation, but characterizes this hypothesis
is still �speculative� and �unsubstantiated�.
That is a world apart from saying it has been �disproven�.
One would think that the IOM�s conclusion, if its inquiry was a scientific one, would
be that since this is such an important question and this specific hypothesis is plausible
and not well studied, therefore there should be further study into this question of whether
vaccines could trigger autism at least in some children with a genetic predisposition
to vaccine injury.

Hold Press Conference to Expose Massive Corruption in Vaccine Industry
But rather than calling for more research into this area, the IOM actually advocated
that no further studies to test this hypothesis be done.
Its stated reason for this was partly medical, but at least equally political � and certainly
favorable to the profits of the pharmaceutical industry.
The IOM�s reason was:
Using an unsubstantiated hypothesis to question the safety of vaccination and the ethical
behavior of those governmental agencies and scientists who advocate for vaccination could
lead to widespread rejection of vaccines and inevitable increases in incidences of serious
infectious diseases like measles, whooping cough, and Hib bacterial meningitis.
In other words, since studying this hypothesis further would undermine public vaccine policy
with its one-size-fits-all approach to disease prevention, therefore no further research
to test the biologically plausible hypothesis should be done.
The AAP was sent a follow up email noting that none of the studies listed appeared to
support the claims it made in the press release.
The AAP was welcomed to correct the record, but did not dispute the observation that none
of the studies listed showed that vaccines can prevent cancer, considered genetic susceptibility
to vaccine injury, or compared health outcomes for vaccinated
and unvaccinated children.
