What do doctors learn about vaccines?
Unfortunately doctors know practically
nothing about vaccines. They are not taught. As vaccine damage is not immediately evident, they
don't feel the need to know.
Faced with vaccine injury I was at a
loss to know what happened to me and why. As a close friend was studying MBBS I
had access to the college library and I scoured through books on paediatrics
and immunology just to meet a dead end. Except for the schedule and the need
for vaccines there was nothing beyond the warning to watch out for anaphylaxis - a
sudden allergic reaction.
The doctors and Professors I met
politely smiled at my questions. Through another friend I haunted the library
of a medical research organization. Books on immunology and related research
yielded nothing. The immunologists informed me they studied immunology, not
vaccines.
Later as I made friends within the
Indian Academy of Paediatrics, the then President sent me a lot of books. They
were full of positive studies and industry sponsored research. As I and my
doctor and scientist friends made inroads and started exposing the downside of
vaccines, one of the books carried a warning about how the anti-vaccine wave
had reached India.
Being the member of Paediatric forums
I often watched as some members trying to raise the alarm were silenced by a
powerful coterie. The anger took another form and the financial incentive to
carry on the vaccine trade was exposed. Today the principal author of many of
the IAP books, Dr Vipin Vashistha speaks against vaccines.
As I started posting on the main IAP
forum, the senior doctors started responding favourably. But soon I was blocked
and the forum itself was shut down. It reappeared in another form in a closed
environment. Another forum too went from open to closed just as things were heating up. However some of the members continued to be in touch with me and
expressed their concerns.
How do we save the doctors from their
own ignorance?

What Doctors Learn in Medical School About Vaccines
Published July 27, 2018
There is the following quote from biochemist Boyd Haley, PhD, who taught at the University of Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington:
I can tell you, having been in a medical center, having taught biochemistry to medical students, and talking to hundreds of medical doctors, they get very little training in toxicology… I mean, no courses that are specifically designed, such as a PhD student in toxicology would have, or a PhD student in biochemistry. They don’t understand it at all. They are not trained to evaluate the toxic effects of chemicals, especially at the research level. One, they don’t do research programs, they don’t have the insight that’s developed and required for someone writing a PhD thesis in toxicology or biochemistry of materials that inhibit enzymes. They just don’t understand the science and the chemistry at that level. And certainly pediatricians don’t.1 2
It turns out that this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many testimonies by medical doctors (and professors who taught them) regarding how little they learned about vaccines in medical school. It is important to listen to them so that the magnitude of the myth that physicians are the experts on vaccines can fully sink in.
