The difference is that one side is data driven and one is not.
Consider the measles vaccine. In the last 60 years in the US around 200 million people have been vaccinated with it. That has generated a lot of data on its safety and effectiveness. And not just short term safety--we've got plenty of data from people who were vaccinated in childhood and are now retired so we've got good data on long term safety too.
This data overwhelmingly says that is is extremely safe and effective.
The RFK Jr side has no statistically significant data to counter that, yet they still say it is not safe or not effective.

- refurb 2y agoIf you’re not interested in an actual discussion just be upfront about it and save both ourselves the time. I didn’t make the claim, so asking what backs up that claim is called “discussion”. If you’re more interested in shouting people down, then maybe HN isn’t for you.

- refurb 2y ago> I can be, but not with an obviously dishonest user like yourself. Dishonest how? By holding views you disagree with? I’ve engaged on a good faith effort so far and your first response was to act like my questions were some nefarious action. I’m not sure one can actually discussion complex topics without questions. Then when I respond nicely you come back to tell me to “fuck off”. I’m not sure what set you off, but I don’t think any of it is deserved.

- refurb 2y agoInstead of replying with reasons why you won’t engage in a respectful discussion you could just downvote and move on. Like I said it would save both of us a lot of time.
