    What I really dislike is the parents who refuse to vaccinate their children, because big pharma/nature best/other insane arguments, but then take them to an ER when they inevitably get that preventable disease. For fuck’s sake, stay consistent. If you don’t vaccinate, do not go to the hospital later.

        Which is why we have decades of medical science that has gone to great lengths to discover these things. They can’t be seen by the naked eye but they can be seen with a strong enough microscope. We know they exist and we know what they cause. We know how to prevent that from happening.

        Yet these mouth breathing troglodytes have been conned into distrusting science on a fundamental level.

            Says the twit regurgitating Fox News propaganda with absolutely no basis in fact, no sources, no data, nothing. Go find some credible primary sources for your horseshit - you’ll see there are none.

            No one is talking about the “talking heads on TV”. I’m talking about scientific institutions that have dedicated their entire existence to studying these things.

            If you’re actually smart, you don’t trust the way you feel because human feeling and intuition is heavily flawed and prone to fallacy unless you have extensive education on a specific subject and even then you still don’t trust it unless you can back it up with evidence.

            You trust institutions of authority that have demonstrably shown themselves to be correct with decades of empirically backed evidence and study.

                Wow, so not only are you just completely stupid but you also completely lack even a semblance of media literacy.

                You do know that scientific institutions and the state are two completely different entities, right? Don’t answer, that was rhetorical, we all know you don’t know a goddamn thing.

                    Your point is entirely bullshit and unworthy of any respect. Your lack of understanding of their differences is on full display by you attempting to assert that the nuance doesn’t matter.

                    Just because you’re to stupid to understand it doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter. It just means you’re fucking dumb.

                    Now fuck off with your illogical fallacies and faulty rhetoric. Or don’t and continue to expose the extent of your ignorance.

                If you only use secondary and tertiary sources and never bother to look into the primary sources of information then you’re incredibly ignorant.

                Fuck off, delusional moron. You are a walking ball of fallacy and Dunning-Kruger. It is clear how sorely lacking you are in education. Spoiled rotten idiot who has lived a life of relative safety thanks to the very science you try to dismiss.

                    No shit, dealing with fucking idiots who are confident in their idiocy is infuriating.

                    You clearly have never been to college and I doubt you even passed fucking high school.

                    The only one who has stopped thinking is you. Now piss the fuck off, moron.

            Da fuck do you think you’re doing when you’re distrusting experts from all over the world and specifically only trusting a small number of serial liars who are known to deliberately hurt people for fun?
