> Other vaccines, for example DTP, have been shown to cause higher long term mortality rate

Sure. This one hasn’t.

That said, I frankly think people should be free to vaccinate as they please, and cities, states and private businesses free to include and exclude folks based on vaccination status as they please. (I’m also in favor of letting insurance companies choose if they want to cover diseases someone chose to get by going unvaccinated.)

That is exactly why we need to apply the precautionary principle for new drugs like this one.

Never said they shouldn't be. Just need to be skeptical of organizations like GAVI and their PR, as they have a huge conflict of interest in promoting and profiting from these drugs.

Agreed. We could decide it over Facebook. Who is allowed to buy food etc.

That would be democratic and efficient.
