I’ll start by introducing myself and trying to explain why on earth you would trust my opinion. I live in California. I have a Ph.D. in environmental and molecular toxicology. I studied the effects of environmental contaminants on fetal and neonatal health as an academic. I now work in biotech, and it is my job to assess the safety of drugs prior to testing in humans. I don’t work on vaccines currently, and the company I work for does not produce or profit from any pediatric vaccines. I do, however, assess safety for a living, and I am very familiar with how the safety of vaccines is determined.
There is another reason I have educated myself on this topic. I have an autistic daughter.
