All of your citations concern "opinions" expressed outside of context. Let's see some of their papers that back up what they said.

I tend to agree- no offense Former Lurker. For example, one contributor of quotes not listed in that post but that was listed on the source page is this one:

"Every vaccine carries certain hazards and can produce inward reactions in some people...in general, there are more vaccine complications than is generally appreciated." Professor George Dick, London University

Now, what that source page doesn't tell you is Dick was a developer of vaccines and continued to work in this field until he retired. He even tested an experimental vaccine on his own daughter. Not exactly what I would call anti immunization. He did call for ending smallpox vaccinations in Britain, arguing that smallpox was so rare in Britain that the vaccine killed more than the disease itself. But keep in mind- this was 1962 when he spoke out. This is quite different than him calling for "no vaccine" in a situation where the risk of smallpox infection is imminent or more common. Source http://www.whale.to/vaccine/dick.html (an obituary)

I'm not saying there isn't some merit to what some of these people are saying, but like political quotes- medical and scientific quotes can be twisted to just about any purpose when taken out of context.

I ran across a fair amount of 'conspiracy' type pages when researching some of these names. It makes me skeptical. In fact that link I provided about Dick is from one seemingly. Lots of articles about "dowsing developments from Russia" and that sort of thing.

Facts don't lie. It is finding those facts that elude most.

Keep in mind, wisdom comes in later years...
