Which vaccines that are widely used today do you believe are unsafe? And why do you believe they’re unsafe?

> “anti-vax" is a term used to dismiss [dissent]

No, it’s a term used to dismiss people who keep bringing up the same arguments that have been refuted over and over.

All the brand new vaccines with no sufficient testing can be considered unsafe. I like vaccines in general (I am European, we have lots of free and mandatory vaccines as kids), but I don't like to be a test subject for brand new ones. Yes, someone needs to test new vaccines to gather data about safety, but some people are more risk adverse. I am a "take it later" guy.

		I specified "widely used", which effectively excludes brand-new vaccines. I don't have any issue with what you're describing. The J&J COVID vaccine would be an example of caution being advisable, since you never know what unusual interactions (e.g. with blood clotting) might occur in a larger population than the safety studies looked at. But that's not the usual definition of an anti-vaxxer. Anti-vaxxers carry on about things like thimerasol which (1) were removed from most vaccines 25 years ago and (2) give you an exposure to mercury equivalent to eating something like a single can of tuna.
