>LOL, mass shootings. Mass shootings are largely crime-related shootings, That's correct in that shooting other people unless you're defending yourself or your property is a crime. However, the implication I'm getting from you (my apologies if I misunderstand you) is that most mass shootings (i.e., 4+ people shot) are related to ongoing criminal enterprises. If that is what you're asserting, I urge you to look at the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_... >there's links between vaccination and severe illness, autism being one. Ehhhh...Not so much...And there's a large corpus of data/research that debunks any link between childhood vaccinations and autism. Here's a sampling for your perusal: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/autism.html https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/autism.html https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8694782/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8694782/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36110492/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36110492/ https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/00_pdf/CDCStudiesonVaccinesandAutism.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/00_pdf/CDCStudiesonVaccine... https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/autism-spectrum-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20352928 https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/autism-spectr... https://time.com/5175704/andrew-wakefield-vaccine-autism/ https://time.com/5175704/andrew-wakefield-vaccine-autism/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5789217/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5789217/ https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/topics.html https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/topics.html I could add dozens more, but if the above isn't persuasive to you, nothing will be, will it?

I'm not him, but is there a point-for-point debunking of the RFKJ JRE episode. RFKJ, to a pro-vaccine layperson like me, was surprisingly compelling about his anti-vax position, citing research with abstracts & conclusions that seemed to support his assertions. Iirc the main problems were adjuvants and the profit incentive to increase the number of required shots for kids (something like 3x what I received in the early 90s). Basic media literacy suggests to me that he is obviously a huckster, but I prefer to be thorough, given the contention around the issue. [0]He totally fell apart on the stuff about microwaves & cell phones though.

  >[I]s there a point-for-point debunking of the RFKJ JRE episode I have no idea. I don't pay attention to either of those folks. However, a cursory web search shows a whole raft of folks debunking the various antivax claims made by RFKjr, many of which note his lack of consistency around this topic over the years. I suggest you take a look at what he's said over the years, along with the data/research around those topics and make up your own mind. I'd expect that many folks wouldn't mind if someone (maybe you?) created such a point-by-point discussion (whether it debunks JFKjr or not). As I said, I have no interest in JFKjr or Joe Rogan (in fact, every time I see 'JRE' I go to 'Java Runtime Environment' first, not the podcaster), but that's just me.
