To Vaccinate or Not

[Account1]

I think it's silly to say anti-vaxxers pose a threat to children when they are actually trying to protect their children

Is it silly to say a parent poses a threat to their child when they do, regardless of their good intentions? Get a grip.

Adults who were vaccinated have the "I turned out fine" mentality

Yes but reasonable people usually look beyond anecdotal evidence to see what is supported by facts and study. And if you think that the data suggests what Monica says to be true than I invite you to go to Africa without being immunized. Oh it's only the evil doctors and big pharma trying to suppress ebola.

I mean, for many people, it's just logical that we are not alone in the universe, so to take a mocking tone towards any belief in anything outside of planet earth was a little disconcerting. I'm not saying that ETs are essential to keeping my whole world view afloat, but I definitely don't consider IFLS to be progressive or forward thinking by any means.

They are extremely "progressive", but the thing is it's pop science, it has a target to appeal to, they cite the work of real scientists but it is released in digestible, diluted doses for uneducated people to understand. The article is simplistic as it is aimed at simple people, it doesn't cover everything and is not designed to, but it does a good job of what it was intended for.
Iirc they were more against the stance of believing in alien contact rather than aliens in general, which is completely understandable but I don't follow them that much

If you don't want to vaccinate your child talk about with your doctor don't just google s***
