They are just not aware that they have this fear and can’t therefore understand and work on it effectively. Some people just seem to be stuck in emotional toddlerhood.

    Do you know what that is? That’s a child with smallpox in 1973. Do you know why we don’t have to deal with that anymore? Because of fucking vaccines, dumbass.

    Now, you idiots are bringing back diseases that were already nearly eradicated, like measles, because you’re blindly trusting “Dr. Wojak, M.D.” instead of every actual doctor on the fucking planet.

      A picture of a suffering child does not prove vaccines eradicated smallpox.

      The question becomes:

      Why do you believe what you believe?

      Why do you get triggered when your identity feels attacked?

        Why do I believe vaccines work?

        Because science is verifiable.

        Why am I “triggered” because my “identity is under attack”?

        I’m not triggered, and you’re not attacking my identity. You’re refusing to believe in verifiable facts. If you tell me that the sky isn’t blue, then the proper response isn’t debate. The proper response is to look at the sky, see that it is blue, and conclude that you’re fucking stupid.

          Thank you for your response.

          I am willing to learn from you and verify your scientific results and in-depth analysis any day.

          BTW, you know the sky isnt just blue right? Perception is not Reality mate.

          For now, please consider the following inspiring video:

        A picture of a suffering child does not prove vaccines eradicated smallpox.

        THEN WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK DID?

        All of human history, plagued by this disease, 300 million deaths in the 20th century alone, someone developed a vaccine, and poof, it’s gone. Just like that. Country by country, as the vaccine spread, the disease disappeared. Countries that didn’t have the vaccine yet, like the one where that picture was taken, still had smallpox, when other countries had eradicated it. Then they got the vaccine and it was gone.

        How the fuck do your conspiracy theories explain that?

        Why do you believe what you believe?

        Because of overwhelming scientific evidence.

        Why do you get triggered when your identity feels attacked?

        Because you are promoting lies that are getting innocent people killed as we speak.

          Hey! Thanks for the honest response.

          I understand that vaccines seem like the obvious saviours for eradicating some dis-ease states. Although there is much more to that story which may require exploring various perspectives and worldviews with more time.

          “Because you are promoting lies that are getting innocent people killed as we speak.”

          That is your perrogative.

          This is a conversation that many people are in such denial about!

          If you don’t defend yourself by filling your mind with the true understanding of what’s happening in the world, others will fill it for you. And use the conditions planted in your mind, to use you.

          Knowing a ledge is only half way to Wisdom.

          Since Children are the future!

          And we are all Children, it is urgent to be empowered as opposed to disempowered or down.
