Believing vaccines are safe because Big Pharma says so is just as stupid as believing cigarettes are safe because Big Tobacco says so

Beautifully put, I think you've left them speechless.

There are a greater number of independent studies that prove vaccines are harmless.

There are a greater number of independent studies that prove tobacco is harmful.

The hypothesis is testable and repeatable in both cases and has been done so. Don't create a False Equivalency just because you have a Truth Boner.

I really dislike how those who have been sucked in by lies try to browbeat those who haven't to believe too.

Do you think vaccines should be mandatory?

Since vaccines work using something called herd immunity, they don't work unless the majority of the population get them.

If you don't want to get vaccines you should be cordoned off to an area with other unvaccinated people so you can all die of preventable diseases without affecting the rest of us. Like how people are now dying of measles in the "hip" areas of the US where vaccines are evil even though it was all but eradicated before Jenny McCarthy opened her mouth.

Again, do you believe vaccines should be mandatory?

Should every tiny newborn baby, in this delicate condition, be forced to have multiple vaccine shots?

Herd immunity is a myth.

If you're vaccinated you're immune is also a myth.

Congratulations on your brainwashing!

What morons are upvoating this bullshit? There's literally no evidence that vaccines do more harm than good. Literally, there is no evidence. Fucking retards, I hope you contract polio.

I love that the first thing people do when this idea is proposed is curse whoever said it with polio.

Since you did not bother to read the article here is a quote.

While the report itself was funded by the US government, the RAND Corporation from which its authors were drawn is funded by the very corporations (.PDF page 70)[3] that manufacture various vaccines, including the MMR vaccine which was the primary focus of the report. Big-pharma sponsors of RAND include GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Merck - that latter of which is listed by the US Center for Disease Control (CDC)[4] specifically as the manufacturer of the MMR vaccine.

Since this is /conspiracy and you mentioned polio... Wasn't the conspiracy/rumour that big pharma was adding infertility drugs to polio vaccines that went to Africa or some such similar?

Let me guess, you use the industry's own work saying they aren't lying as proof.

Have I got a bridge to sell you!

It is the morons who know that the vaccination program reaps in 1.6 BILLION dollars annually. With that kind of money you can buy any kind of study you want.

Why would you include video of comedians as a source to prove your point?
