The below video might appear technical. However, there are two take-home points to consider. First, it can be very difficult to design and carry out a properly designed research study with sufficient numbers of participants; and to understand its limitations. Second, the risk of complications due to a disease entity could potentially be much less than the risk associated with taking the vaccine against that disease entity. This is a very good discussion for those who care to listen:

Well there you have it. I take from that there will always be risks in taking vaccines. The clinical studies should be longer.
I agree, Fred. The reality is much more complex than the general public readily understands.
None of the childhood vaccines have had placebo-controlled studies to prove safety or effectiveness. None! As he observed, most of the studies they did to get approval are quite short (days! or weeks) and with small numbers of participants.
Vaccine makers–govt-privileged with immunity for the harm they do and promoted by numerous departments of government–have an incentive to get approval of their product with the least possible information.
That’s absolutely right, J. Sobran.
The point must be emphasized that it is very difficult to produce a good medical research study. There are MULTIPLE criteria to determine when studies are well-designed and well-conducted.
Many studies are riddled with flaws of various types. And you often need MULTIPLE good studies to demonstrate that a specific scientific, medical question is settled. When looking at study results, you have to take into account the study’s limitations. All of this– in total– is pretty hard work to get things right.
