RE: Vaccines Increase Your Chances of Catching Infectious Disease - Study Reveals!

in #vaccines • 7 years ago

You cite a single study as infallible proof? You are scientifically illiterate then. I don't even mean that as an insult; it's just matter of fact. This is actually problematic and shows a fundamental misunderstanding of science.

I say that as a scientist, and as someone who was formerly part of the conspiratorial crowd and quasi-spiritual neo-hippy community. I understand the thinking and reasoning behind all this, and it is flawed. I have been wrong before, and the hardest part was realizing how wrong I was to uphold such narratives that harmed others; all the while I acted so self-righteous with an imagined self-importance.

If we can help, please let us know. Until then, don't talk shit about science then use it in a tag as if you understand it at all.

    It seems that you are the illeterate one as you seem to have trouble reading and discerning - you've done it twice in two comments so you have a 100% strike-rate.

    Clearly you have not properly reviewed or understood the post and the sources that the data came from. The data came from multiple studies, in multiple nations for 7 different diseases.

    If you can't read a simple post and understand it why should I listen to you? You are clearly biased which may explain why you are cherry-picking sections of the post and ignoring others. The irony is that this is what you are accusing me of!

    The sciences were bought and paid for over 100 years ago. Most scientists do not know this, most of them are good people that mean well but unfortunately most of them are deceived.

    Maybe you will listen to what these scientists have to say about medical and scientific studies?

    “The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.” - Dr. Richard Horton, the current editor-in-chief of the Lancet – considered to be one of the most prestigious peer-reviewed medical journals in the world.

    “It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of the New England Journal of Medicine” - Dr. Marcia Angell, a physician and longtime Editor in Chief of the New England Medical Journal (NEMJ), which is considered to be one of the most prestigious peer-reviewed medical journals in the world.

    “The medical profession is being bought by the pharmaceutical industry, not only in terms of the practice of medicine, but also in terms of teaching and research. The academic institutions of this country are allowing themselves to be the paid agents of the pharmaceutical industry. I think it’s disgraceful.” – Arnold Seymour Relman (1923-2014), Harvard Professor of Medicine and Former Editor-in-Chief of the New England Medical Journal

    “Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud, and that the major cancer research organisations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them.” - Linus Pauling, Ph.D, two-time Nobel Prize winner in chemistry and one of the founders of 'quantum chemistry' and molecular biology'. He was invited to lead the chemistry division of the Manhattan Project but refused.

      "Most scientists don't know this. Click here to find out why!" is basically how most of this material reads. Make better clickbait before you tag Science again.

      You said: "If you read the article (and my previous one) you would know that the graphs and the study were carried out and written by Dr Raymond Obomsawin Ph.D. If you have an issue with it take it up with him."

      GIven that statement and the terms "study" (singular) and a singular person given direction to, yeah, I'll have my skepticism of your interpretation of someone else interpreting their results, especially when they perpetuate a dangerous anti-science narrative.

      What happens when I get to three strikes? Does your entire community come and smite big bad science to exercise their moral supremacy and absolutism?
