Also, i happen to have a number of family members in health care, nurses and doctors, and i get first hand accounts of how the medical system fails and in some cases kill people. My wife right now is suing a dentist for malpractice her attorney believes its a slam dunk. My mother had a pile of unused staples left in her gut during a gall bladder removal. If you havent yourself or anyone you know and love experienced this kind of thing you should thank your lucky stars and not be so rude to others who have.

I don't care if you question him or not. I question him. He to my knowledge doesn't manufacture vaccines or has any oversight whatsoever. And even if he did, just as Skippy can't tell me how many roach legs are in the peanut butter nobody can tell me what's exactly in vaccines. Just stop.
Many new vaccines will be made possible with the development of a new type of vaccine called DNA vaccines. This type of vaccine actually injects the DNA needed to make a specific portion of the pathogen into the vaccine recipient. The potential immunity that could be gained from a DNA vaccine would be effective and last for a long time. In addition, DNA vaccines would have very few side effects because the vaccine only uses the necessary component of the bacteria or virus to make a small amount of antigen.
Adjuvants are vaccine additives that stimulate the immune system. They are a hot topic in the vaccine conversation and serve a very important purpose. New adjuvants will make current vaccines more effective and are key components for future vaccines. Current and future adjuvant safety is thoroughly investigated. The right adjuvant has the possibility to enhance the interaction between the vaccine antigen and the cells of the immune system. At this time, there are over 20 adjuvants in clinical trials for serious diseases including influenza, cancers, and HIV. While vaccines are very effective preventative care, shots can be painful. There are already needle- and pain-free vaccines that can be given as a nasal spray and taken orally, but researchers are coming close to releasing a new form of vaccine delivery called vaccine patches. These patches could be self-administered, distributed to a large number of people quickly, and helpful for kids (and adults!) who have a fear of needles.
Pregnant women, infants, individuals with certain allergies, and the immunocompromised cannot receive some vaccines. Developing vaccines for vulnerable populations is a main goal for public health officials and researchers. New vaccines are possible with increasing knowledge of the immune system, advances in vaccine technology, and adjuvant development.

You got me..
Actually I live my life building New York City with my bare hands to pay for my mortgage and my retirement. That's some eye you got there.

its a good analogy.....except that the construction industry is rife with building codes and tons of accountability established by law.
vaccine makers have little to no accountability to the public and what accountability they have to regulatory agencies is hard to know since problems are handled mostly "in house".

we are talking about vaccines. Since you are so sure of your knowledge about vaccine regulations please enlighten me, with attention paid to public accountability. I wasnt lying, i specifically noted that whatever accountability vaccine manufacturers have is behind closed doors with the FDA, CDC and other orgs that are often staffed by agents working the revolving door between gov and big biz.
as others have pointed out, there are many meds that are fast tracked and do not endure the same vigorous vetting process of their competitors. Should i start finding the dozens of examples to prove my point?
please dont be so obtuse.
