- tombert 8y agoIt's hardly an argument ad populum to say that the overwhelming amount of research says vaccines have no link to autism. That's simply asserting an undeniable fact Moreover, are you seriously asserting the argument of "because one doctor says something, it has to be right"? I'm sorry, but the scientific process trusts the research, simple as that, and I largely trust the scientific process. The argument isn't "I think vaccines are safe because most of the world says so", my argument is "in the overwhelming amount of research that has been done on this, it has determined no link between vaccines and autism".
- RobertRoberts 8y agoThe linked sources aren't saying "don't vaccinate", they are saying "weigh the risks". There is not a single scientific source anywhere that says vaccines have zero side effects and/or zero negative effects on _everyone_. (it's common knowledge that immune compromised people can't even take vaccines)
