Current Events > Even if it's wrong the way we shut down "anti-vax" rhetoric is scary

(+) Yeah! (+)

"We should allow uneducated people to share baseless conspiracy theories or bad things will happen" is maybe the dumbest shit I've read in ages.

No we shouldn't respect the "concerns" of people who refuse to trust actual science because Joe Tik Tok got the heeby jeebies over a shot.

What's the current consensus on vaccinating children? It boggles my mind that our pediatrician, who seems otherwise very intelligent and has guided us through many things expertly, is staunchly against it and even commented he's worried they'll make him take a booster due to the recent spike/strains. It's like... what...

I'd be getting a new pediatrician.

Japan is starting vaccinations from 6mo old babies and above starting from September 20th.

COVID caused many in the medical communities to lose their damn mind and credibility.

The general consensus is that they're fine for children at a certain age, though if I'm not mistaken it's developed to the point it's safe for babies. Used to be like 5+

I wonder if that would actually be good

It's not trust me. I did that while I was drunk. Tasted awful

Tag checks out, yet again.

Ignoring the larger debate for a second.

Just no, do one. A memorial for someone who'd just passed is and will never be the place to start with "well maybe it was the vaccine", the mods of a pro-wrestling sub are absolutely right to shut that **** down. Even on a normal day, that's not the place, and minutes after Bray Wyatt's death was announced was most certainly neither the time nor the place.

I bet TC thinks it's acceptable to pop up on dead children's memorials doing the same in the name of "free speach"

The family literally said he developed further heart complications due to COVID. Not the vaccine, but the virus. COVID. Yet antivaxxers ignored that and turned it into a debate about the vaccine. They did exactly what I said:

there's no way to "shut down" anti-vax rhetoric because they've dug their heels too far into the dirt and refuse to budge.

They are literally being told they are factually wrong in this instance yet they refuse to admit it.

What could possibly be his tag

I asked in another topic. He didn't say and I've stopped caring about it. His tag and opinion mean absolutely nothing to me.

Well Im curious

I mean chili is amazing homemade. Mixing a bunch if different brands of canned chili is just gross. They all taste different.

And yet... The vaccines were effective and saved millions of lives - and no one in America outside the military was actually forced to take the vaccines, and the government fucking owns your ass and can send you into an active warzone to be shot at in the military.

he's just asking how something like that would give you a tag.

parents who try to prevent it should be imprisoned for neglect and wilful child endangerment

Why do I suspect the topic title is using we the same way the Trumper line we got him this time guys! uses it

Why we talking bout this, its the past. Covid is gone.

Covid isnt going anywhere.

Shocked that this topic is still up.

wtf are you talking about?

No doubt doing a "but they said the pandemic was over!" because it's become endemic and tools care not for the difference.

I don't like polio so I won't read TC's post. Polio and measles enjoyers may find amusement with this topic though.

its just an example of how vitriolic people are to anybody questioning

It's because less than 1% of 1% of people that are questioning are doing so in good faith.

You should not entertain people that are doing something in bad faith.

And virtually all people doing the questioning are in fact doing so in bad faith, thus should not be entertained.

for example: You

Are we still doing anti-vaxx shit in the year 2023? Genuinely: who still cares about this? And I mean, who still cares to be pushing this conspiracy theory junk about vaccines? In fact, so few of us care about Covid at all anymore that I cant imagine people are still pushing anti-vaxx bullshit

i think we should use a vaccine dart gun on people that refuse to get them :v like what they use to sedate large zoo animals
