    My niece has spent her whole life deaf as a result of a high fever with measles she had when 8 months old. This was 2 years before a vaccine was available.

    I have been attacked by antivaxers who said I'd given my son autism by getting him jabbed. I explained he had shown signs of autism before he was vaccinated, because he had leukaemia as a baby his vaccinations were delayed until he had a bone marrow transplant and diagnosed in permanent remission! People are daft. The Internet is creating idiots who don't think for themselves and aren't educated or bright enough to do their own thinking. Love you for this Russell.

    12:17 - 12:55 : Well done to this lady's colleagues. This conversation with this lady should have happened in her formative, childhood years. She was let down, educationally. It's most definitely not her fault. It's obvious that she was eager to learn from her colleagues. It's quite a refreshing side of humanity to see kind, and understanding people like her colleagues. She's not to be ridiculed; she was modest, and keen to understand.

      I agree. Ridiculing people does not inspire a learning curve. Filling in the blanks does way more - (..and understanding which information is missing and being able to explain it in different ways is also a higher skill, by the way).
      In her case, it's likely the curse of being very pretty.
      People don't correct you enough, because everyone always wants something from you (being in your company, or 'physical relations').
      For example; It's very hard to improve your jokes if everyone laughs at everything you say.

    On the upside: One in five turning down something new (like a vaccine) is stellar results. That means 4 in 5 (or 80%) are informed. When can we generally say that 80% of people around us are behaving semi-rationally?
    From my own experiences with my own family at a Christmas dinner, I have a ball if 60% of the attendees are behaving remotely coherently. My family parties are in general small, so I know percentages are precious from the start since my mother's uncle and his wife will be jumping out of the blocks with some "climate is imaginary because weather and CO2 are the food for plants" from the get-go. This is before some other distant relative pops up and proclaims his trust in crystal healing - after 2 bypass operations have saved his life twice from cardiac arrest.
    When a group of reasonable people reach 51% majority they should consider themselves lucky and never leave.
    I am yet to meet a person in distress that answer "yes" after I ask if they want me to call the emergency homoeopathy service during my 30 years in mountain/river rescue service. They are ALL really eager for me to treat them with science-based first aid and for me to call in helicopter rescue services that provide everything except "just water" and a "suite of pretty rocks" on board. An old-school ER is suddenly sounding great.
    Rationality seems to kick in hard when a limb has chosen to stick out at an interesting angle or when a friend has stopped breathing. Regarding Covid. It is funny how many chose to say "yes" to those very expensive respiratory machines instead of a bottle of bleach.

    I understand the pro-vaccine and anti-vaxxer positions. I certainly believe in science. I also understand the marketing and branding that is allowed in the process from research to practice.
    The truth is that the vaccine controversy is fueled by a failed communication campaign which was designed in 1986 to obscure high-risk groups. (Hint: Autism is a red herring, not the central problem.) Instead of exempting the high-risk children, who had serious reactions but escaped permanent damage, parents were encouraged to play roulette.
    The result is such that people without any increased risk have also lost trust in our public health system. This was further entrenched when WHO adopted CDC policies on adverse vaccine reactions.

      Yes, agree 100%.
      Unfortunately now if you even have any (I believe rational) concerns over vaccination timetables for babies you are shut down.
      You are prevented from being able to space the vaccinations out more so that a 2 month old doesn't have to have seven vaccines administered at once.
      In Australia I can get individual vaccines for my dogs instead of 3 or more at once if I'm concerned - but would be prevented from doing so for a baby.
      I can also get titre tests to make sure my dogs don't get booster vaccines until they need them because overvaccination has been recognised as a concern.
      Parents of human babies, on the other hand, lose family benefits unless they stick to a rigid timetable of vaccination that may not be in the best interests of their child.
      Can someone explain why a newborn needs to be vaccinated against Hepatitis B in the first week of life too ?
      Whenever I ask these questions generally I am ridiculed and labelled an 'anti-vaxxer' and people gleefully pile on.
      Am I stupid or is it really not a great idea to give tiny humans seven vaccines at once ?

    Also, i volunteered to test the covid vaccine and spoke to the researchers about it:
    1. Its normally very difficult to get people to volunteer as test subjects. Consequently it can take a long time to recruit enough people which slows everything down. With covid they had loads of volunteers and could get started straight away.
    2. Usually a vaccine development team would start with a small group of test subjects and run a full set of tests. They then have to apply for a second round of funding which tests the vaccine on another small group of subjects but larger than the original group. They then have to apply for a third round of funding which is to test the vaccine on a much larger group. This process can take a number of years because funding rounds tend to be annual. Plus add in the time it takes to recruit volunteers. With covid the funding was available immediately plus they went immediately into large scale trials. So yes, technically they skipped a couple of steps but FFS, the vaccines were still tested on a very large group of people.

    People believe this shit because they think it makes them unique and don’t like the fact of being told what’s right and wrong so they make their own right instead of being told what’s right. The typical mindset of ‘it’s my body so I can do what I want with it’

    People love conspiracies, coz apparently it's comforting to think that someone is in charge and controlling things, even if that person is insane and evil, rather than absolute chaos where the world is rudderless and everyone is basically pretending they've got a clue what they're doing.
