What is Vaccine Shedding?
Posted July 26, 2019
When you’re infected with a virus that causes an illness, that virus is shed in your saliva and other bodily fluids, and sometimes also via skin lesions. This means that a person who comes into direct contact with the shed virus may also become infected. The same holds true for live attenuated viral vaccines.

A Ban, not a Moratorium, is Needed on Human Embryo Modifications
Posted July 26, 2019
