Vaccine Safety & Public Health?
Real-world feedback from parents, doctors, and community members
Vaccines are among the most rigorously tested and closely monitored medical technologies in the world. They have helped reduce or eliminate diseases that once caused widespread death and disability.
Yet despite decades of evidence, misinformation, political polarisation and mistrust in public institutions continue to erode confidence, leading to falling vaccination rates and outbreaks of preventable diseases such as measles and whooping cough.
This PByT Hub provides a transparent space for the community, parents, healthcare professionals and scientists to share real-world experiences. By combining verified feedback with evidence-based explanations, we aim to clarify:
- What is safe
- What carries risk
- What people believe (and why)
- Where trust has broken down
- How public health communication can improve
Your participation helps close the information gap and strengthens community understanding.

About PByT Surveys & Open Democracy
The PByT surveys represent a rolling snapshot of global sentiment from real people whose identity has been verified. The results can be analyzed in a variety of ways to get a better understanding of key issues utilizing Bayesian statistics - a mathematical concept that updates beliefs in light of new data or evidence.
As a result, these surveys have the potential to be the most definitive resources on some of the most critically important issues of modern times and serve as the basis for the idea of "open democracy."
Have your say and help shape the interconnected world of tomorrow based on trust, mutual-aid and cooperation.
