Disagreeing with one commonly accepted medical practice means you disagree with all medicine, science and research?
I think the premise is that if you don’t trust medical science on something like vaccinations, why would you trust it for other things? I think it’s a reasonable question to ask.Disagreeing with one commonly accepted medical practice means you disagree with all medicine, science and research?
Pretty long bow tbhI think the premise is that if you don’t trust medical science on something like vaccinations, why would you trust it for other things? I think it’s a reasonable question to ask.
Pretty long bow tbh
How so?Pretty long bow tbh
Why is EVERYTHING in medical science the same?How so?
Why are they conspiracy theories? .... cos you think so?I see it more as a demonstration of how stupid the argument against vaccines is.
IE why trust one thing with decades and decades of medical backing, but make up conspiracy theories about another?
That's rhetorical BTW. I'm well aware that answer has a lot to do with stupidity

Dont get me wrong, I would vaccinate my kid ..... but i dont dismiss the belief that vaccinations can f**k some people up
Geez Baz, we don’t always see eye to eye on things but this is an outstanding rebuttal for any antivax’s dribble. If only I had the go ahead from the powers that be to be as ‘convincing’ in my role in public health.There is always the risk of a reaction with any medication. Which is why vaccines are so important, especially for those who can't have them. There is a difference between that and the conspiracy theories, though. It's perfectly valid to not vaccinate for medical reasons.
Vaccines do not, will not, have not ever, and cannot possible cause a genetic condition like autism (one of the leading anti-vax ideas). Vaccines do not, will not, have not ever, and cannot possibly kill you or make you ill thanks to mercury (another fave).
The other thing I really hate about these idiots is the idea that, ultimately, a dead child is better than one with autism. Even if there was some way, and some chance, that a vaccine COULD cause it (hypothetically, obviously), the implication is that "we'd rather take the chance of losing our kid to a preventable disease than have them be a f**ken genius!" and I reckon that's disgusting.
Just do it mate. Your colleagues will respect you for your honesty.Geez Baz, we don’t always see eye to eye on things but this is an outstanding rebuttal for any antivax’s dribble. If only I had the go ahead from the powers that be to be as ‘convincing’ in my role in public health.
Kudos my friend.
I have no doubt they would as they all agree. Unfortunately I have to be a bit more diplomatic as a public servant.Just do it mate. Your colleagues will respect you for your honesty.

I play a role to an extent but this is a subject that genuinely pisses me off.
Especially as I have a good friend with a child who is actually autistic. How must people like that feel growing up and seeing this rubbish?
"Oh hell, I'm not vaccinating my kids because they might turn out like you...."
