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.

When the world shut down and snatched routine from our family, I did not have to be a genius to know the harm that would befall our family; the profound pain and hardship this would inflict on our family.

The Government’s “Religious Exemption” Process Is a Farce

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Whether deliberate or not, the language in the new request form reveals the government’s impatience and hostility towards those who have religious objections to the COVID vaccine. Words mean things after all, and the message could not be clearer:  those asking for a religious exemption belong in the “other” category.

CDC Director Almost Admits Failure

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The CDC director’s tweet won’t settle all the COVID19 debates, but it is an admission that our current policies have failed and must be abandoned. We cannot eradicate the virus. We have to live with it, and balance it against all the other important things: school, work, and our mental health.

Get the Courts Out of Science

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

My highest hope is that the majority opinion here, if it goes the right way, will not be narrow and evasive, picking apart the mandate based on technicalities, but sweeping and fundamental. It should say in no uncertain terms that this mandate should never have been issued and that the court should never have to intervene in such matters in the future.
