full of unsubstantiated fearmongering, and a complete disregard for the facts.

if you want to posit that a vaccine is dangerous, you have to have more than..x number of people got y. because z number of people probably get y over the same time frame, anyway.
then you have to look at the d number of people who die from the disease the vaccine seeks to prevent.


if a discussion of vaccines does not contain that framework, AT LEAST, it is a useless, and probably dishonest exercise in tongue flapping.

love you, bs, but please do not fall for these kind of stories. vaccines have changed the world. there are costs, including human costs. but the costs of not having them must be a part of the equation to have a true answer.
