    Science isn’t self correcting too well…

    This is in the same category as anti-vax. How do you prove a vaccine is safe to an anti-vaxer? You show them the clinical trials. They say it’s too small of a sample size. You do more tests. They say it’s not on a long enough time frame. You wait decades to show them the long term effects. Then someone releases a paper about a link to autism, and no matter how hard you discredit the paper you’ll never convince them

    You can’t beat pseudo-science with science. You can’t tell budding science enjoyers that some people think vaccines do more harm than good… There’s no evidence of that, and a mountain of evidence to the contrary

    Just like there’s no evidence humans are fundamentally different than other animals. That’s the claim scientists should be attempting to prove, do it the other way around and you just make the next generation start in the dark
