Re: Another vaxer who counters conscience with arrogance
"He's a naturopath in British Columbia."
That is a doctor, despite what you may think.
"His implication that mercury in vaccines disappeared from the blood only to go into bodily organs has no foundation in science."
What a ludicrous statement, the toxins clearly enter the blood system, and are pumped through the body by the heart. They cannot trace where those substances go without injecting more toxic substances, and scanning the body continuously. Which I doubt has been done on an extensive basis.
"He is wrong in saying that mercury preservative in vaccines was not removed in 2001 but only reduced."
They(CDC) say there are still trace amounts in vaccines.
"Even if he _had_ been right about mercury only being reduced in vaccines, if that mercury had anything to do with autism we should have seen a corresponding reduction in the incidence of autism by now. We haven't - rates have been stable or increased."
This is questionable I've read reports that there was some decrease, but that's beside the point. Mercury is a known neuro-toxin that exists in reality. It does cause brain damage, just ask your local mad-hatter. Infants don't have a fully developed blood brain barrier so they are more susceptible.
"Matsen also employs the classic dodge of the antivaxer - when one pet theory is shot down (mercury), he changes the subject and tries to blame some other facet of
vaccination - in this case aluminum (there is no evidence this has anything to do with autism either)."
There is also no evidence it does not have anything to do with autism. Once again you pulled off the classic Vaquisitionist move of ...well we can't see a problem with these toxins going into the system so they must not be problem.....stupifying logic
"Clueless antivaxers are like the Energizer bunny - they keep going, and going, and going..."
Clueless jackboot proto-fascists deny individuals rights, and try to force others to comply to their lock step march, in the name of psuedo-scientific and ideas like "herd immunity" which are not proven, but none the less stated as fact. More signs of the coming fascist state where people say..."but its for the public good."
