I never said don't take vaccines.
Yes, I do find it quite incredible that questioning the efficacy of vaccines is like a red flag to a bull for some people.
Even though the Lancet has published research examining the flu vaccine's effectiveness, it appears any kind of discussion is strictly forbidden.
I don't want to use the word "fascist" but this discussion has clearly shown that the people who are truly ignorant are those who fail to consider dissenting viewpoints.
- mikeash 13y agoWhat's a red flag is not questioning the efficacy of vaccines, but rather doing so in an ignorant and incredulous manner without doing any research.

I have little patience for the "explain this... oh... well, explain THIS! oh... well..." game vaccine doubters play.
- mikeash 13y agoIt's pretty incredible. "If this gravity stuff worked like you said, then cars would all be stuck to the ground." "Well actually, they are." "Sure, usually, but I saw a picture of a car that landed on top of another car. Clearly there are some flaws in this gravity thing." "It's true that there are ways to get cars off the ground, but they don't stay off the ground for long, and their behavior still fits entirely within the theory of gravity. This is pretty basic stuff and you should really research it." And then they call you a "fascist" for "not tolerating dissenting views".
