    Do you think a doctor should be required, before administering a shot, to announce every potential side-effect without any context on how probable it is?

If someone asks what the potential risks are, I would bet that most doctors would gladly offer them up without a requirement to do so. It's their responsibility.

So then you agree with me? Great.

Yes I think we're in general agreement; I didn't mean to put words I you mouth earlier, and I may have misread your original comment. I don't think that it's a good analogy between labeling GMO and giving warnings about the autism connection. Perhaps simply labelling that a food contains GMO is similar to labeling a vaccine as containing thimerosal. Thimerosal is harmless, but people have a right to know. They can find out whether it's a toxic substance.
