Title text: The vaccine stuff seems pretty simple. But if you take a closer look at the data, it’s still simple, but bigger. And slightly blurry. Might need reading glasses.

Cueball: I try to meet people where they are, but I have such a hard time with anti-vaxxers.
[Zoom out; a tree to the right is visible]
Cueball: The pandemic brought with it so much confusing stuff.
Cueball: Ambiguous data, weird tradeoffs, disagreements, dilemmas, and uncertainty.
[Zoom in on Cueball]
Cueball: It just feels like a miracle that the best and most effective intervention to reduce suffering also turned out to be one of the easiest and simplest.
Cueball: That never happens!

Cueball: I hate that people are working so hard to make it complicated when it’s one of the few things in this world that isn’t.

Pick and choose science.
Some one claimed that they knew climate change was a hoax because there have been Ice Ages in the past.
So, you believe the scientist who tells you there was an Ice Age 60,000 years ago but don’t believe the same person when they tell you that climate change is real.
I told someone I don’t believe in their magical sky creature, I believe in science. They told me the “magical sky creature created science”, so then I asked why they are against science if their God created it?
Never got a response. Religion is just picking and choosing your way through life while using a magical sky creature as your scape goat.
I think people are just afraid of injection in general. And someone took that small fear and turns it into conspiracies and what not.
As far as i know the fear of vaccines started growing because of Andrew Wakefield.
Andrew Wakefield developed a vaccine against measles, however the MMR vaccine was already on the market doing its job just fine. So how could he make sure that his vaccine was taken instead of the MMR?
He had to start lying. So he started to spread the notion that the MMR vaccine would cause autism. My memory hets fuzzy from here on but basically it was MMR vaccine causing autism because it would mess with gut bacteria and to prove that he was messing with data and his colleagues and until they realized what was happening the damage was already done. And over time the lie from Wakefield turned into the commonly known “vaccines cause autism”.
Hbomberguy has a very comprehensive video about it: https://youtu.be/8BIcAZxFfrc
He never even had to serve prison time for any of this.
He did have his medical license taken away, which was basically the band minimum they could have done, but really he should have faced prosecution.
As a small correction from the video itself: it isn’t just that he wanted to sell the individual vaccines, it’s that the parents of the kids that underwent tests wanted the investigation to go through to sue the MMR vaccine company. It was all a sham from the beginning.
Antivaxxers are cartoonish characters created by the media to discredit those who opposed people in power. People like Trump or Bolsonaro said a lot of stupid and wrong things on purpose to discredit all the arguments. All the antivaxxers who appeared on the media are no better, actors playing the role of the idiots.
The opinion of the real opposition is:
COVID19 vaccines were available when the overwhelming majority of people already developed the antibodies on their own, therefore they were useless.
Viruses of that family mutate so frequently and are so contagious that there is no way to develop a vaccine on time. They will always arrive after people already came into contact with the virus and fought it off on their own.
Also the lock downs started after people already had their course with the virus and fought it off on their own. Lock downs were politically motivated, they saved absolutely nobody.
The story of the heart conditions looks like another false alarm to distract the attention from the real problem. Until now we used vaccines for a limited number of serious diseases and the vaccines were carefully tested over a long period. That was a sensible way to use vaccines because the mechanism is still not fully understood by science. Imposing by force two vaccinations every year with untested vaccines means playing too much with a mechanism we do not fully understand and nobody knows what the long term consequences could be.
Darkwolf in the explain pages is a fucking retard. And he earned the slur. Antivaxxers are plague spreaders.
