So what, you and the rest of the anti-vaxxers would deny the credibility of any source that doesn’t support the anti-vaxxer narrative. Factcheck is far more credible than Malone, Mercola, Wakefield, etc.
"Credible"
Alrighty, then, fapper.
“So, you admit your belief in a conspiracy to use vaccines to ruin the health of millions while insisting you’re not ‘anti-vaxxer’?”
You need some review lessons in reading comprehension and logic.
No, I did not say that I believe that particular conspiracy. I said others believe that, but I don’t find it hard to believe at all, considering that communists killed about a hundred million people last century.
Also, believing in that conspiracy does not mean that you are required to believe that all vaccines are evil. I had rabies shots about two years ago and was thankful they exist. It was a precautionary measure.
“BTW, your anti-vaxxer heroes are making millions off their anti-vaxxer hysteria.”
Well, they don’t get it from me, but it is peanuts compared to the tens of billions the pharma companies are getting, and you are concerned about the few millions?
“Your personal history isn’t valid proof that ‘most’ have had numerous vaccines.”
Are you nuts??? Most people have had numerous vaccines.
I read FR fairly regularly, and I have not noticed multiple posters bragging about not having vaccines. A few, but not many. But I have seen multiple posters mention they have not had the covid vaccine. Again, covid vaccines are one concept, vaccines are another.
By the way, have you heard about SADS? Corresponds with the covid vaccine. Correlation is not causation, but it sure as hell serves as a warning a lot of times.
... most of us, have had numerous vaccines.

We did, but that was in the past, with known technology.
I’ve had fewer than many, being a member of the Silent Generation. I remember when diphtheria vaccine was a miracle and separate from tetanus and there was nothing for pertussis, which I had/resolved.
The old smallpox vaccine has been shown to have had side effects we never heard about. Same with at least one of the injected polio vaccines, IIRC. Pertussis vaccine has ben ubiquitous for decades, yet my small town had several outbreaks among the vaccinated over the 1990-2010 time period. I was told it was a milder version of the original disease we encountered 75 years ago. I’ve read about diphtheria but have never heard of a case in the US.
They combined DPT because no one was getting the tetanus shot unless they had a puncture wound and the companies were eager to sell more of it.
My generation experienced the childhood diseases and recovered, for the most part. Now we have had 2 generations injected with countless vaccines and people seem to catch flu more often even with a yearly flu vaccine. I never even heard of Shingles being so prevalent until very recently and not necessarily in the elderly.
Now, however, I read that all the vaccines are being changed
to mRNA or actual DNA technology. Once bitten, as they say.
I am now leery of vaccines. I need to add that I have physicians and APRNs in my family and am friends with some, as well. They are simply not as sanguine on this topic as they once were, but they couch their own reservations obliquely and in private.
In addition, I have experienced and witnessed and been told of reactions to more than a few of the ubiquitous medications taken by many. People confide, usually sotto voce, that they have quit all prescribed meds or cut the dosage on their own and they feel better for having done so, over time. Everyone knows the risks with OTC NSAIDS, with opiates, and even vitamins and minerals if they aren’t in balance with each other.
I’d venture to say, that the *anti-vaxxer* epithet is a social intervention to counter this quiet rejection by the populace. No one wants to be called names, so they just shut up and walk away from the offered concoctions. Parents are withdrawing kids from school for a variety of reasons, young people are reconsidering college for a variety of reasons, I hear of people rejecting job offers because of vaxx requirements.....if fewer people participate in the institutions where a vax record is required, fewer will be vaxxed, so trends must be apparent.
Just speculating, but given the contexts, decibel level and intensity with which *anti-vaxxer* is applied, could it be that the *pro-vaccine* contingent is actually the minority? Or at least that the trend is in that direction and the affected purveying industry is more than a bit panicked?
