You have a few valid points. But the way this topic is discussed is that if you even _question_ vaccine safety you are a complete nutter.
The fact that companies don't want that label is evidence that vaccine safety is not being discussed rationally, but with a mob mentality.
This is how I think we end up with 1984, through mobs and irrationality, not thoughtful discussion.
- tombert 8y agoI understand your point (and please don't take this the wrong way) but of course there is no thoughtful discussion for this nonsense. Debating against people with absurd, unproven, and dangerous claims does nothing to help the legitimate sciences, but works depressingly well at lending credibility to the erroneous claims. If I were to make the claim that "all kale is radioactive" and that "there's a strong link between eating kale and growing tentacles out of your brain" without providing any evidence of this in the academic literature, you almost certainly wouldn't "debate" me on this, and you'd probably make similar points to the ones I'm making. I'd then fire back with "if you even _question_ the radio-kale theory you are a complete nutter". I might even exclaim "see, they won't even debate me on the kale question! They're trying to censor me! ORWELL!!!"
