    Are you implying the anti-vax crowd relies on facts, data, and logic and not conspiracies?

      I’m implying that someone can question a “consensus” without being crazy, and can question evidence without being anti-vax. Look at Paul Offit on the more moderate end, or Vinay Prasad on the more extreme end.

        This post is about anti-vaccine rhetoric. Vaccines are safe, get over it

          Relatively safe. They can still cause harm. That’s why the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme is a thing, at least in the UK.

          What I said was two very pro-vaccine vaccine researchers who were called conspiracy theorists for saying there may be some costs to mandating vaccination.

          Any and every intervention has a cost, even if its just the cost of paying someone to administer and produce it.
