    The vaccine wasn’t a disaster. Politicizing the vaccine was the disaster, a disaster for many of the Filipinos who became scared of every vaccine because of the political fear-mongering. We have a measles epidemic in Mindanao precisely because of this vaccine fear-mongering. The vaccine Dengvaxia works fine and are being rolled out in Australia, Singapore, and other European nations. We have to pay $80 for it in Oz, here in the Phils, it was for free. Dengvaxia, however, cannot be administered if you haven’t had Dengue before.

    @wre83 thanks for the link to the WHO report. It mentioned that 4 out of 5 recipients were better off and the 1 in 5 was worse off. The worse off group got a lot of the spotlight. Most of my opinion was formed from watching the Senate hearings.
    It's difficult to have an informed opinion now a days with so much incorrect or incomplete information out there.
    Mia culpa Mia culpa.

    No it didn't. There was a very small amount people that had problems and a ton of fear mongering and grandstanding by politicians and antivaxers. The vaccine did everything it promised and the risks and recommended uses were published and known about.

    The vaccine is still available in countries without dipsh*t politicians and doctors.
