Abstract:

Major shifts underway in U.S. vaccine policies reflect widespread misinformation, notably including unproven claims of harms from vaccines. Vaccination misconceptions also include an array of falsities about the scope and extent of governmental powers and protections. Exposing these "legal myths" clarifies existing foundations of vaccine laws and policies, providing guidance on appropriate responses to quell vaccine hesitancy.
