Re: Safe Vaccines

Thank you for following up on the death of Zaire Knott, the DYFS child who, as you reported on October 22, did not die from a vaccine-related cause. Other news media were not as definitive in making this point. Vaccines are among the greatest public health achievements of the 20th century. Their safety and efficacy are high thanks to a rigorous approval process. -- David Bendich, Newark
