Yeah. Okay, so time went on after the 18th century. There were several vaccines that came about. In the early parts of vaccine history, were there times when skeptics had a point, like, they were right to be suspicious of the pushing of certain vaccines?

So given that vaccines are relatively safe now, that there's a system in place for monitoring their safety after they come out, how do you explain why the vaccine skeptic movement at this moment, when vaccines are at their safest, would get so much momentum?
