  1. Wow. Someone with ethics and honesty to discuss this issue in an understandable manner is so refreshing. Informed consent requires that a full disclosure is given to the patient or their guardian. Parents have a right to know and it’s so easy to say it only happens to a fraction of the children is fine until it’s your child. We can’t address a problem until research reveals the facts and all the facts are considered. Vaccines are needed but so is safety. Great reporting and many thanks to your guest.
