*The FDA once said Vioxx was ok in 1999 and had was removed from circulation just 5 years later because of how dangerous it was
*We've all heard about how doctors promoted smoking a long time ago
*Dentists now even say they were wrong about flossing
I'm sure there are hundreds of examples....remember when we were supposed to breath into an unresponsive persons mouth during CPR? "Science" evolves.
Blindly following rules because "science" told you to is unwise. You should not knock people for questioning motives and effectiveness of vaccines when many have been misinformed for a hundred years by these same doctors.
Your CPR point is actually a perfect example why you and many others aren't really qualified to question the science or speak on it, which is really the larger issue in all of this. While science does evolve and change, the vaccine pushback is based on pseudo science bullshit and misunderstandings of the science behind the vaccine as a whole. About a decade ago guidelines came out for compression only CPR which created a bit of misunderstanding and misinformation about the effectiveness and use of rescue breaths.
There were a couple issues with standard CPR that were causing people not to perform CPR at all. One of the main issues was that people didn't want to actually put there mouths on other people, even as they died. The other issue was that people didn't know what to do and thought they could hurt the victim worse by messing up all the steps. Studies showed that in many cases you could get away with hands only CPR and be about as effective for the patient if it occurred within the first few minutes. This was what drove ADDING hands only CPR as a way to perform CPR because it eliminated barriers and would hopefully prompt more people to help strangers. That said, you are still supposed to provide rescue breaths and compressions in multiple cases including people who were drowning, overdosed, have been without oxygen for a while or are children.
