So it occurs to me where Siggy gets the idea that I have very low standards.
I have very high standards in evaluating science.
I have very low standards in evaluating what to use in my personal life. Little to no science in my personal choices. (But I have a very narrow definition of "science.")
This goes back to the dichotomy that science and my personal life are not the same thing.

Scientifically speaking, I do not reject vaccines. I think they are a useful part of our arsenal against infectious diseases, if used judiciously and intelligently.
In reality it does have to do with science.
You doctors seem to be making sugestions based on what they have observed, in you and others. That is science. Your making desicions based on your observations, such as the fact you don't respond well to flu vaccines.
See you have to understand that a scientific study regarding a large number of people will not give you information on an individual.
I do not fear God, I fear the ignorance of man.

Observation is only the first step of the scientific method. By itself, it is not science.
I can observe that pixie dust appears to make someone's diabetes disappear. That observation itself is not science.
You have to form a hypothesis. Then test the hypothesis. Lather, rinse, repeat. THAT is science. Without experimentation with proper controls, there is no science.

Yes, by all means question and study. Evidence and data is often biased. Like the media, it is easy to lie by omission. EXAMPLE: A study by maker of Synthroid... showed that the brand name was more effective than the generic. Good as far as it goes, but what they DIDN'T tell you about was the nine other studies which showed no such thing. All of the studies funded by Knoll brand, maker of Synthroid.

So parse the data carefully. But ALSO be prepared to get answers you don't expect, or don't like. And be prepared to accept them IF the evidence points in a direction you don't "like". Otherwise you fall into the same behavior as any other hack.

Re: Vaccines? I'm getting more worried about them. I know that sometimes they work, and can be important. I used to work with hep-B+ downs syndrome people, and so I got the vaccine. Everyone who got it did fine, those who didn't, got hep-B. It was one of the new genetically engineer vaccines, but I was convinced it worked. That said, there are dangers that we were not told about. It's possible that one of the four or so mutations that caused my sister's brain cancer came from a vaccine-borne hitchhiker virus.

American kids get some crazy amount of vaccines for school these days. I think I heard that by the time they hit middle school now they've already gotten over 70 of them.
