"Senators on key panel reject Donald Trump’s skepticism about vaccines"




"In his response, the Republican chairman of the committee, Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, put it plainly: “Sound science is this: Vaccines save lives.”

“They save the lives of the people who are vaccinated,” Alexander said in a statement. “They protect the lives of the vulnerable around them—such as infants and those who are ill.”

No senator who responded indicated any level of concern regarding US vaccine safety. Allegations about the dangers of vaccines have been thoroughly discredited by the current science...

Contrary to Trump, the Senate health committee’s leaders have, if anything, lamented over the last few years that fewer children are being vaccinated."

Feeling better - these are the people whose opinions we should know and care about.
