So the old kind of science is a bunch of antivax rumours unbacked by anything?

  People with certain medical conditions that leave their immune systems compromised risk death if they get vaccinated. There exist groups of people that cannot be vaccinated reasonably. Should they be completely shut out of society, locked down at home for the rest of their lives? I'm a fully vaccinated person in support of all adults being vaccinated, and at the same time, I believe that individuals should make that decision for themselves, or their children, with the best guidance they can get from their doctors. It's not up to the government, reddit, or the Twitter mob to decide. It's not a black and white issue, and you're a vicious ideologue if you believe otherwise. It should be a private decision, and it is patently absurd that vaccine proofs are being touted as the new normal.

    Thanks for the character assassination! So supporting public health makes you 'vicious' now. In other news, folks are vicious ideologues if the oppose murder (Individuals should make the decision for themselves!)

  No, the old kind of science is scientists disagreeing and ultimately, after putting all ideas out in the open and putting them to the test, people choosing the best ideas they see fit for themselves. That doesn’t involve silencing controversial ideas.
