    I have validated my own claims, to my own standard, under my own volition. That’s why I hold this opinion in the first place.

    You either haven’t, or have chosen to dismiss the evidence because it’s inconvenient to the opinions you want to hold.

    Also, links on social media are completely visible and transparent. You should know exactly what they link to and were information is hosted. A good study will generally have good sample sizes and plenty of peer reviews.

    It’s not stupid to click the link, its stupid to let someone on the internet assure you they’ve provided all the context you need.

    The British medical journal Lancet published a study back in 1998. It’s had hundreds of peer reviews. Does that mean that if somebody links it on social media, you’ll just accept it?

    Because that paper was the origin of “vaccines cause autism”. It has been linked millions of times by a group of people who are spreading misinformation that kills people.

    Want me to send you a link next time I see one? You can strut into their midst with links to the hundreds of studies that disprove it.

    I’m sure it won’t be a waste of your time and I’m sure every counter argument will be made in only the best of faith.
