> a) Vaccines have been tested/developed on people in Africa who were not told of the dangers of experimental treatments

Running medical trials on unsuspecting people is wrong whether it's a new drug or vaccine. It also has little to do with the well proven safety vaccines.

> b)Some vaccines contain trace amounts of metals like mercury.

Ah, the classic anti-vax 'toxins' argument. I said that vaccines have been proven safe time and again (which they have). I never said they don't have trace amounts of stuff often found in much larger amounts all around us in the environment [1].

> When I was child, I was literally vaccinated with a re-used needle. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

There was a time in not so long ago medical history that things like needles were reused. It wasn't specific to vaccines.

> I don't understand why you can act like vaccines have never hurt anyone ever, and claim it as the scientific view

Talk about moving/making up goal posts. Nowhere did I claim that no one was ever hurt in the history of figuring out how vaccines work. What I claimed is that vaccines today have been proven safe over and over again. They also do not cause autism.
