No one has said everything is ok.
Just by claiming we are being told “everything is ok” you are showing the absolute lies and false straw men and disingenuousness that is at the centre of the anti vax movement.
Somehow you don’t apply even close to the same standards to the anti vax side, where the only evidence is proven to have been falsified.
Also, Anti vaxxers claim they are sick of experts, yet are unwilling to show even the slightest bit of curiosity. Have they seen any iron lungs lately? Maybe they should go talk to their grandparents about the scourge of polio, and how Salk and Sabin were heroes in their time because of their efforts in making the polio vaccine possible.
You don’t even need to go that far in history. Just read current events about measles, and how it’s popping up in precisely the pockets of the US where the anti vaccination movements are strongest, whether it’s religious nutjobs in Texas and Brooklyn, or Hollywood hippie nutjobs in California.
- kolbe 7y agoI have more empathy for people who are intellectually stunted and now buy into conspiracy theories. They really never had a choice. If the US or their parents had provided them with sufficient education, maybe it would have been different, but it's hard for me to get as mad at them as you are. On the other hand, the doctor who knows better, but chooses his own pocket book over the well being of millions is far less empathetic in my mind. Both people suck in their own way, but I'm less inclined to get worked up about the former.
