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.
