Why do you guys get so angry at anything vaguely anti-any vaccine?

• bsder 11y ago
  Why do anti-vaccine people get so upset when told to produce factual evidence? The problem is that anti-vaccine sentiment is NOT harmless. Anti-vaccine sentiment means we now have diseases killing children that were effectively eradicated 20 years ago. Anti-vaccine sentiment means that we don't have a Lyme disease vaccination because the cost of fighting anti-vaxxers exceeds the profit from selling the vaccine. So, if we look at the balance, anti-vaccination causes real, demonstrable problems while pro-vaccination has yet to have any demonstrated factual downside. So, yeah, we now have preventable diseases running amok because the logical community was tolerant about anti-vaccination instead of stomping the anti-vaxxers into the ground like they so richly deserved. Now does the vitriol make sense?

    The attitude seems a bit out of place but I understand your position more now. Thank you.
