Other than the simple examples (polio, smallpox, etc.)
Are you arguing for vaccination in general or arguing, specifically, for every single vaccination that is recommended?
It's simply not as clear as you want to believe, with reference specific vaccines. And no, I don't actually subscribe to the debunked/fraudulent vaccine-gut-autism link by Wakefield. But I have actually looked for specific data regarding specific vaccines and found them to be incredibly lacking. Or non-existent.
In the case of the Hep B vaccine, it is given to infants, and yet, according to the CDC, the way infants get Hep B:
How does a baby get Hepatitis B?
A baby can get Hepatitis B from an infected mother during childbirth.
But the infant is given the vaccine regardless of whether the mother has it. Huh. Yes, there are risks related to Hep B, but what are those risks to the infant if the mother is actually tested? Suddenly, we are narrowing it down to the risk of getting Hep B and the risks of the illness itself
tl;dr: don't assume that people who refuse individual vaccines (1) think all vaccines are bad and (2) only research quack sites.
We don't have gas and we have our own (rather deep) well and pumps.
All the people that have city-provided water and gas, their electric bill doesn't really give a good picture "energy usage."
You buy car. The car says it has brakes. The car only has brakes that work, though, when you are going less than 20mph.
Bummer for you, I guess. You should have known better. You should take responsibility for your own choice to buy that car! Why didn't you get under there and check the brakes thoroughly first? What, you want to sue? Everything they said was completely true, the car has brakes...
Admittedly, this is a silly and exaggerated example, but I personally have no doubt that a lot of advertising does this.
The problem isn't necessarily that people are stupid now. The problem is that things are more complex. It's not like most of my purchases are
And even food is hard, now, since we do such complex things to it and with it... heh.
Memory fault - where am I?
