Will there ever be a safe vaccine?
Vaccines are not just for individual benefit - they're critical for public health. Saying you "probably didn’t need" the polio vaccine ignores the fact that polio was once a devastating global disease. Vaccines helped eradicate it in most of the world. You didn’t get polio because you were vaccinated and because others were too. Had you not been vaccinated against polio, its likely you would not have caught it because everyone else was - herd immunity. MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) is highly effective. If someone contracts one of these illnesses despite being vaccinated, it’s often due to incomplete dosing, waning immunity over time, or being exposed before full immunity developed - not because the vaccine “didn’t work.” Measles alone is incredibly contagious and can be fatal or cause lifelong damage. The idea that the hepatitis B vaccine for newborns is “silly” overlooks the fact that babies can be infected from carriers - including their mothers - without any warning. It’s about prevention before exposure, not after. Tetanus doesn’t spread from person to person - it’s a bacterial infection from the environment, often through small wounds. Just because you’ve been lucky so far doesn’t mean you’re immune. When tetanus strikes, it’s brutal and often fatal. The booster every 10 years is recommended because the vaccine’s protection wanes - and tetanus is one disease you can’t rely on herd immunity to avoid. As for the flu vaccine, calling it a "joke" ignores real-world data: while flu shots don’t always prevent infection, they do significantly reduce severity, hospitalisations, and deaths, especially in vulnerable groups. The virus mutates yearly, which is why annual shots are needed - this isn't a conspiracy, it's virology. Yes, pharmaceutical companies profit, but so do seatbelt manufacturers, and we don’t question the utility of seatbelts. The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines underwent rigorous testing and were monitored in real-time across billions of doses worldwide. While no medical intervention is 100% risk-free, the overwhelming evidence shows that the vaccines greatly reduced severe illness, hospitalisations, and death. That’s especially true for high-risk groups, including those over 50. There is a way to prove they were helpful: countless peer-reviewed studies and real-world statistics demonstrate a sharp decline in hospitalisation and mortality rates post-vaccination, particularly during the height of the pandemic. Reports of harm are rare and usually related to manageable side effects or pre-existing conditions. These vaccines were a historic scientific achievement, not a mass hazard. Not living in an outbreak zone today doesn’t mean there’s no risk tomorrow. The reason outbreaks are rare is because of widespread vaccination. If people stop vaccinating their kids, herd immunity collapses - and then diseases like measles or diphtheria come roaring back. We've already seen outbreaks in communities with low vaccination rates such as the recent USA West Texas outbreak. Vaccinating children isn't just about protecting them - it's about protecting those around them: babies too young to be vaccinated, the immunocompromised, and the elderly. The hepatitis vaccines you took years ago worked so well, you never even needed to think about boosters. That’s how prevention should feel - quiet, uneventful, and effective. -

Search for survivors after Houthis sink second Red Sea cargo ship in a week
The flow of missile and drone components from Iran has been greatly reduced. It is just a matter of time before the Houthis run out weapons. If Trump hadn't made a ceasefire deal the end would come even sooner. U.S. strikes were taking their toll.
