> Take anti-vaxxers. If you try to argue with the science, you've already lost, because anti-vaxxers have been propagandised into believing they're protecting their kids
What do you think causes vaccine injury?
Do you believe in these zoonotic origin theory of Covid, rather than the Wuhan coronavirus Institute accidentally releasing a coronavirus in Wuhan? Why do you think that is?
Why do you think vaccine manufacturers asked governments for blanket immunity from prosecution?
Why does the United States require children to get so many more vaccines than other developed western countries?
Do you think you are assuming which side is rational?
Vaccine injury is a thing that actually happens. It really does.
Also, unvaccinated people die from diseases that vaccines prevent. That happens too.
The problem with the anti-vaxxers is their assessment of the balance of risks is distorted.
The problem with the "vaccine establishment" is that it's so certain that the balance of risks are in favor of vaccines that it's willing to hide the actual risks in order to get more people to take the vaccines. That's not only morally wrong, it also may do more harm than good in the end. (Which is the same thing if you take a consequentialist view of morals.)
