If the pharmaceuticals believe that vaccines save lives and bring a net health benefit, they have to prove that scientifically. So far they are not willing to, we need science, not assumption.
Huh...
I guess that small pox vaccine then was just a myth?
EDIT to add: I ran a search for Dr Graham Downing on the General Medical Council which is the UK register for Doctors and his name isn't on it. In fact it shows no results whatsoever for that name suggesting that he never even has been registered because when you search for a actual real medical doctor it shows their status including if they have relinquished their registration to practice. "Doctor" isn't actually a protected title in the UK and so this guy could literally just be talking out of his arse hole without a GMC registration claiming to have been whatever the hell he wants despite it being utter crap.

. The World Health Organization has the money and the vaccines it needs to stamp out the disease out once and for all — but it hasn't been able to finish the job. A major obstacle is Pakistan, where heavy opposition to vaccination programs in some regions has let polio regain a foothold.
Smallpox could return...
The success of the smallpox eradication program is evidenced by the fact that many people today don't even remember how awful smallpox was. Caused by the Variola major virus, smallpox killed a third of people infected and over 300 million people in the 20th century alone. Even when people survived the disease, they often suffered blindness and disfigurement from the blisters caused by the disease. For five centuries, smallpox plagued the world until a massive endeavor that involved thousands and thousands of people, starting with the discovery of a smallpox vaccine in 1796 by Edward Jenner, continuing with the WHO agreeing in 1958 with the Soviet Union proposal to attempt global eradication, further continuing with a specific resolution in 1966 to end smallpox in ten years, and ending with the last known naturally occurring case in Merka Town, Somalia.
I think the proof of the value of vaccines is pretty obvious?

There was certainly a small pox vaccine, but countries which didn't have mass vaccination programs also eradicated small pox, and the locations which were being given the small pox vaccines would then go on to have the worst outbreaks.
Anything like this needs to be studied very carefully, with high-quality studies, the industry will try to mislead and tell you their products are great, but solid evidence is required to prove the point. Many people were left disabled by the small pox vaccine, and small pox wasn't particularly contagious, so it was perfectly possible to eradicate simply by the use of quarantine.

What a load of rubbish.
Typical reinterpretation of reality and pseudosciebce by people who don't like vaccinations. I made it for 17 minutes listening to the bias and selectivity, by gave up on the statement "...Public Health England which is not a government body but is kind of an industry linked body blah, blah, blah". In fact Public Health England is part of the English NHS. With basic errors like that...
Also note that the Dr Graham Downing who is in this video is not a "real" doctor as he's not on the UK List of Registered Medical Practitioners. He could be a doctor of silliness and quackery though and his bio from another site gives a varied career and qualifications from Texas Chiropractic College.
Edit - credit OtherSide who ran to the GMC and posted before me. Great minds think alike. I'm a professor by the way; well I am one every other Thursday. A professor of abosultutely bugger-all

I think your using bad sources here to justify something that makes no sense in reality.

I think your own bias and perhaps fear of medicine is warping your judgement. This really is flat earth style territory here. Vaccines have saved millions if not hundreds of millions of lives and that's just reality.

Snake oil is what they sell on the sites that cater to the anti-medicine crowd, not the opposite. People will disparage actual medicine like vaccines that save lives and then buy a bottle of grossly overpriced mystery juice and willingly drink it down.

Many people die from vaccines and are left disabled, we would need solid studies to answer the questions, each vaccine would need to be studied, the ingredients in them, the full schedule, the timing etc. The current reality is that we have no way of knowing if they bring more harm or benefit overall.
Bollocks.
A small minority of people will have some side-effects or anaphylaxis reaction to vaccinations but for the most part they are safe there is zero evidence that there is a significant enough risk to vaccinating a child that would support advising against vaccinations. All medication has its risks but a vaccine is about as safe as a paracetamol, probably more so.

Blaine91555,
Unfortunately the World Health Organization have many conflicts of interest with the pharmaceuticals, similar to the CDC, their information is hence not independent.

On the Polio vaccine, Polio is a disease of poor sanitation. Also the oral polio vaccine actually spreads polio, the vaccine strain is now the most common circulating strain.
Here a doctor explains the polio story in great detail, it's quite different to the mainstream narrative:-
On Small Pox, please look back to the my response to OtherSideOfTheCoin.

hiddencode,
This video is incredible.... I'm still analyzing the information, which is impressive. Thank you so much for posting this
