If there’s one thing I’ve learned about the antivaccine movement, it’s that its members dislike being criticized. Oh, hell, let’s be honest. The really, really hate criticism and react very, very badly to it. Whereas you or I or other skeptics might react to criticism by trying to address it using facts, science, and reason, the first reaction of many antivaccine loons is to attack, attack, attack.

No, not religion. Freedom! Freedom to research and make informed decisions for our families based on conscience. What part of faith, freedom, and conscience do you not agree with? Oh and don’t tell me it is settled science for those who actually know something. I have graduate degrees in science and teach at a Big 10 University.
Wooo hoo ad hominem fallacy
Collect ‘em all!
> I have debated anti-vax people on several websites and found them frequently vicious.
This thread stands as a testament to the viciousness of pro-vaccine arguments. Note how they are getting progressively more foul-mouthed and abusive as the conversation continues.
For the record, I haven’t even stated a position on the issue, I’m merely pointing out the logical flaws in the arguments made, which are global warming arguments to a “T”.
“You guys are serious global warmers. Just substitute “climate denier” for “anti-vax” in these assertions and it’s plain as day.”
You have it ass backwards. The anti vaxxers are using anecdotal “evidence”. They spread the ignorance through social media and rock star and actress wives. In this case it is also enjoyed by backwards faux conservatives who also believe in fluoride in the water as a plot and see anything anti government as automatically smart.
Whether they have a use or not is immaterial. The argument is being made to take away your right to drive fossil fuel means of transportation and your right to own a firearm. You don’t support those but do support this one. I happen to support freedom based on research and careful consideration of my own circumstances. So,I take it you’re not for freedom to make decisions about what you want your children to have or not have after weighing the risks and taking into account the circumstances of how much exposure they may or may not have to different types of environments?
AMEN
Bummer tried to MANDATE vaccines - right after he bought $50,000 in shares in the flue vaccine that fall - that he was trying to mandate. If we didn't all get it, we were all going to die ANd, AS OFTEN HAPPENS, THEY DIDN'T EVEN GET THE RIGHT STRAIN - and he and his ilk will still try.
that should clue people in -
Last time I had a flu shot, I got the flu straight after. Never got another shot, never had the flu since - 35 years and counting.
Maybe we lived in an era when disease was a very real threat, and saw them eliminated. Now we are seeing idiots actions bringing the old eradicated diseases back.
Wait a minute. Trying to get you to answer a very simple question has a very familiar feel to it.
Are you a chick?
Where did polio and whooping cough go? Why have they returned?
Wow, what’s wrong? Don’t trust your vaccination to protect you from my Christian kids? That’s the problem, you hate our freedom of choice and conscience. You hate our healthy unvaccinated children.
Why are you even on Freerepublic? You hate the thought of families making informed decisions based on research and freedom!
I am pro freedom. My one child that I stuck all these diseases and immune adjuvants (metals) and media and preservatives into his infant bloodstream before he had created a healthy biome (the immune system) is neurologically permanently damaged. Because I believed the men in the white coats and didn’t do proper research.
It is foolish to defend vaccines as they are today when their manufacture and combinations are 1950s science and scarily ignorant of current immune-genetic knowledge. And when vaccines are the ONLY product eerily exempt from any manufacturer liability at all.
Why would a FReeper defend (primitive) medical tyranny?
Those who seek security over freedom receive and deserve neither.
Adding misogyny to your resume isn’t improving your situation.
If I were you, I’d put the keyboard away for a while because you’re going to get yourself in legal trouble if you continue to libel others.
Tell us more about how BREXIT can’t happen.
Just out of curiosity and not wanting to start an argument: would you have been against the small-pox vaccine?.
Because I’ve been here a year longer than you....noob. And I earned the right to my opinion here. The 1950s had it right on polio and whooping cough vaccines.
Everything isn’t Bunker Hill moron.
