The fact that they put effort into making a vaccine makes it pretty clear what the medical community's position is.

Well, yes and and no. If the medical community was free to choose and not utterly dependant on financing from pharmaceutical and other companies, there'd be a ton more vaccines and medications available already. This stuff is really going downhill since the 80s.

People often forget what the medical research and medical authorities say are not always the same.

See heart disease for another one of these fun ones.
