I went looking for some support for ant-vaxers. This was a top DDG hit <http://traceamounts.com/ten-lies-told-about-mercury-in-vaccines/> http://traceamounts.com/ten-lies-told-about-mercury-in-vacci..., which was remarkable in its lack of references. The very first claim is
The Facts: The Eli Lilly Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for Thimerosal acknowledges that exposure to Thimerosal in utero and in children can cause “mild to severe mental retardation and mild to severe gross motor impairment.”
Ok, so where is the actual data sheet? You've got a link to it to bavck up this claim, right? Err, No? The rest of it isn't much better.
I actually met my first and only anti-vaxer a few months ago. She quite clearly didn't have a clue about chemistry and wanted to make out this big pharma conspiracy (I used to work in medical trialling so I knew more about the crap that goes on than she ever would). I basically called her a crank.
Seems there is no reasoning with these people because it's not about reason or truth.
- dean177 7y ago> I basically called her a crank That doesn’t help. The people that get swept up in these movements have been called similar in the past and if anything it strengthens their resolve when they finally do find that group of likeminded people.
- tempguy9999 7y agoThen what will help, because if reason doesn't then I don't know of an alternative. I listened carefully to her - I didn't prejudge her. I wanted to hear her side. She was clueless. Tell me what I should have done.
