·In terms of vaccines (this is not anti vaccination or anti medical as I use both and it has saved my life) things can go wrong and it is good to have balances and control groups.
I have to say, in all good nature which I hope comes across, that I simply can’t understand your angle or your insistence upon it.
Wherever the v-word is brought up you pop in, as here and elsewhere, with some version of “things can go wrong and it is good to have balances and control groups.” The way you raise it, one almost looks around to find whomever you’re correcting, as if someone else had just insisted “things can never go wrong and it is bad to have balances and control groups.”
It seems your instinctive response is to assume that no one around you is aware of how both science and cost-benefit analyses works, and it’s your responsibility to insist upon it?
For what it’s worth, you should know it comes across a bit like the following scene:
[group of people getting into a car, chatting casually]
Driver: “everyone buckle up!”
Omegafanman: “Don’t get me wrong I’m buckling up, but did you know that car manufacturers sometimes make errors in their production of seat belts or air bags, that then lead to people sustaining injuries or death due to those malfunctions? Did you also know that it is possible to find cases of vehicle accidents involving flood or fire where the use of a seatbelt actually caused injury or death? We should buckle up but at the same time remember that it is good for car manufacturers to test their equipment and that sometimes things can go wrong”
Driver: “yes, you mentioned that also yesterday on the way to lunch, and the day before that”
