🤖 Conclusion [15/100]: The statement includes an absolute claim that "vaccines kill," as well as encouragement to use "Dissolving Illusions" as a research resource on vaccine safety. Available evidence and the sources cited overwhelmingly show that vaccines are safe and save millions of lives, with severe adverse events (including deaths) being extremely rare and much less frequent than from the diseases vaccines prevent. Major public health organizations and studies consistently refute the idea that vaccines generally result in death.
The secondary claim—that critics are branded as "vaccine deniers"—is not fully supported or rejected by the sources, but there is no evidence that honest concern always leads to that label; the term applies to those who reject overwhelming scientific evidence. The recommended book, 'Dissolving Illusions,' is written by authors with a history of promoting discredited anti-vaccine narratives and is not considered a reliable or scientific review by the medical community.
Overall, the truthfulness of the core statement is very low, scoring a 15 out of 100, mainly because while any medical product comes with potential side effects, the implication that vaccines routinely kill or that reputable research begins with anti-vaccine literature is highly misleading and not supported by credible scientific evidence.
