In what can be referred to as a modern day book burning, earlier this month, Amazon caved to pressure from politicians and began to purge information that challenged the established view on vaccinations. Multiple books were removed that promoted "alternative cures" for autism as well hit documentaries like Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe. 

Regardless of how you feel personally about vaccinations, purging information in such a manner is alarming and should be cause for grave concern. Last month, during the hysteria over the measles non-epidemic, TFTP pointed out how this hysteria was being used to make massive shifts in online algorithms as well as legislation.

Not only do people react differently to different medicines, but these medicines are manufactured and administered by humans—who make errors—a lot. So, maintaining skepticism in the form of advocating for safe vaccines is a necessary counter balance to blindly accepting the word of companies who have been known to lie and cause harm to countless people — paying out billions to their victims.
