there's no credible research that supports the idea of a supreme being

there's your difference - there's no way to prove or disprove the existence of god, but there is a ton of evidence supporting the use of vaccines. if something can ONLY be discussed via feelings and anecdotal evidence, then have what beliefs you want. that doesn't fly for something that has its grounds in science.

That's a really good point.

ayrt

i totes understand being distracted and not thinking enough before posting! no need for excoriation. :)

I don't know if you should be excoriated but I think the reasons people are coming after you is that your initial response seemed to be saying that her position was valid and defensible in a way that you don't think it is.

You also kind of just picked a bad issue to make this your test case on b/c it's one where there is a side that's demonstrably right and demonstrably wrong. Also kind of a hot button issue on the Internet right now.

I said some stuff that was really terrible in hindsight due to thinking that responding to certain comments when I'm running on too much sleep deprivation is a good idea. :P

The reason why people are miffed is this: most political debates boil down to a disagreement of priorities, and which facts are important. We generally don't debate about the facts themselves. But the vaccine movement is a debate about the facts themselves, not which facts are relevant or about a moral issue/an issue where facts are irrelevant. In other words, it is a genuinely scientific debate that is being treated like a moral one, when it isn't and we have proof.
