:chavez-salute:

every time I see anti-vaxx shit posted here at least one of you is already in the comments, fighting the good fight.

@admins please reconsider chapo's site-wide tolerance of anti-vaxx/vaccine-skeptical/vaccine-hesitant rhetoric

    I'll stop "punching down" then. If people want to buck medical science out of fear and nothing else, fine

      As you said, most people are not doctors. Describing the minutiae of medical science will only convince people who are trained to understand it. I do not understand it. I need to trust medical experts to explain it to me.

      Medicine requires public trust. Our problem is that The US medical system has been selling public trust for profit. Now there is none left.

      Over half this country does not plan to get the vaccine. That is a reality we have to grapple with. Telling people "this for-profit company is actually right this time" will not convince anyone.
