I think you have to find out what the person is most concerned about. Then, hopefully, there are data to answer the question. But often data aren't enough. So I think it's also important to talk about what is at stake in the decision. I think it's reasonable to be fearful of anything injected into your body. So it's certainly not of value to be dismissive.

Lord yes. Trump has given new life to the anti-vaccine movement. They, like he, deny the evidence in front of them. But I don't think Trump could do much at the federal level. He's not going to disable the Vaccine for Children's Program without the consent of Congress. Same would hold for the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Everything else important about vaccines occurs at the state level.

I don't think it would be a massive outbreak. Rather, I think it would be like what's been happening with measles in the last couple of years. Small outbreaks followed by people who had originally chosen not to vaccinate now scared of the disease and choosing to get vaccines. I think that's exactly what happened during the Disney outbreak in southern California.

Hamburgers.

I think that if an adult is sexually active, it is reasonable to get 3 doses of the HPV-9 vaccine.

And thanks for the tip about mentioning my name. Although I might be better off this way. Not everyone is a fan.
