Vaccines

Vaccines articles deliver critical analysis and commentary on policy, safety, efficacy, mandates, and their effects on public health, personal liberty, child development, and social life — questioning official narratives and institutional claims.

We cover major issues like COVID-19 vaccine mandates, mRNA risks, vaccine injury reporting, childhood immunization schedules, ACIP decisions, liability protection, informed consent failures, and calls for evidence-based reform and voluntary choice.

All articles from Brownstone Institute are translated into multiple languages to reach global readers, support international open dialogue on science and policy, and defend individual rights worldwide.

The Media Ignored the Parliamentary Debate on Vaccine Safety

One does not have to agree with all of the points made by the MPs, and one does not have to dispute the fact that the vaccine rollout saved lives, to understand that questions raised by elected politicians in this debate – around the scale of adverse events, potential breaches of medical ethics and regulatory capture – are serious.

In Search of Safety Signals – Let the Light Shine In

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Policy in public health should be only made on the basis of the evidence available. The evidence available indicates that the strategy of universal vaccination of the whole population exposed some groups to unnecessary risk, and that a differentiated risk-based strategy would have led to better outcomes. Some countries are now belatedly moving in this direction at least for boosters.

Organized Chaos in South Central, Los Angeles 

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Part of what makes this all so frustrating and demoralizing is the way the whole system is set up. No one is really accountable for any of the decisions made regarding exemptions, testing, appeals, or terminations. Everything is done through third parties and anonymous emails.

How College Mandates Shattered My Dreams

When I was canceled from UConn, I was in the middle of writing a neurosurgery research journal article and my participation was abruptly stopped. I was planning to study abroad in my junior year, which would have been this year. I looked forward to entering dental school and eventually opening a dental practice. I made a choice for my body – and my college life was interrupted indefinitely.

The Demonization of the Unvaccinated: A Look Back

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

It was never remotely realistic for any government to expect every single person to get vaccinated, especially when the vaccine in question involved a novel genetic-based therapy. Thus, these proposals to impose draconian hardships on those who refused Covid vaccines would inevitably involve the state imposing draconian hardships on a sizable portion of the population.

The Real Reason Vaccine Mandates are Wrong

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Vaccine mandates are wrong not because they fail to generate a net benefit or because the risks to vaccinated persons outweigh public health benefits (though both are true). They are wrong because they trample on the very thing the noblest version of a liberal democratic society should be trying to create.

The Mandate on Health-Care Workers Is Still Unjust

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Biden’s vaccine mandates are another demolition of freedom that do nothing to end the most politically exploited pandemic in American history. But the government has no liability for the injections it mandates or the freedoms it destroys. For bureaucrats and politicians, gaining power and compelling submission are victory enough, even when their policies fail to vanquish a virus. How much longer will politicians pretend that their iron fists are a magic bullet?
