holy fucking shit i am losing my mind over the hbomberguy vaccine video
(yes i know it came out almost 2 years ago i only just got into his stuff alright)
like i knew andrew wakefield's original study was bullshit; when i did a module on autism in undergrad, one of the first things my professor said was that this study was bullshit—it was only done on 12 kids, he owned the patent for the seperate vaccines, it was later retracted for being total bullshit and wakefield wankfield lost his medical license; HE IS NO LONGER A DOCTOR
we were not told:
the study didn’t even FIND anything!! even after wankfield tweaked data, lied about what parents said, his conclusions were that he hadn’t found any actual evidence BUT he really thought there might be a link between the MMR vaccine and autism
(that, for those of you not in the know, is not how academia works, you need evidence)
some of the children in the study weren’t even autistic
of those 12 children, only about half of the parents were reported as saying they thought the MMR vaccine caused their kid’s autism (BASED OFF NOTHING BUT SPECULATION, I MIGHT ADD) and at least one of the fathers has said that wankfield straight-up lied about him saying that
wankfield was hired by a lawyer to ‘‘‘find’’’ evidence of autism so that lawyer could launch a class action lawsuit on behalf of like, 12 parents who thought their kids’ autism was caused by their MMR vaccinations
in the same journal edition the original paper was published, there was another paper by other doctors saying that wankfield’s assertions seemed deeply fishy
the parents were not able to give informed consent to their kids’ medical examinations because wankfield didn't list the risks of the procedures on the ‘consent’ forms
let me say that again
the parents were not able to give informed consent to their kids’ medical examinations because wankfield didn't list the risks of the procedures on the ‘consent’ forms
honestly, if you haven’t already, you should probably just watch HBomberGuy’s video. he cites all of his sources and there is so much more insane stuff i’m not even getting into here
but like, i get parents being scared of medical stuff they don’t fully understand, i get wanting nothing but the best for your kid because they’re your kid and you want to protect them, that is a noble and reasonable thing to want to do!!
however. the SLIGHTEST glimpse at this ‘‘‘study’’’ and it becomes painfully, dangerously clear that there is no and indeed never has been any link between vaccines and autism. by refusing to vaccinate your children, you are actually putting them at more risk and in more danger.
if there’s one thing people need to understand about vaccines, it’s that they weren’t created on a whim. measles, tetanus, polio, mumps, rubella, used to KILL hundreds if not thousands of people a year:
the vaccination rate in france for measles fell below 90% around 2008 and it caused an outbreak in the population that killed at least 10 people
the effects of long-COVID are only just becoming apparent, and even young and healthy people are getting seriously harmed by infection
herd immunity is about 95% vaccination in the population, and it is so, so crucially important that everyone who can get vaccinated does get vaccinated, because people with weakened immune systems (like very young or old people, or people undergoing chemotherapy) will be relying on herd immunity to stay safe. so it isn’t just your kid you’re putting at more risk, but other people’s kids, too
and, also, one final lil’ note:
EVEN IF VACCINES DID CAUSE AUTISM (and they don’t) IT IS MUCH BETTER FOR YOUR CHILD TO BE AUTISTIC THAN TO BE KILLED BY A COMPLETELY PREVENTABLE DISEASE

the insane thing about the antivax movement is that the guy who wrote the paper everyone claims proves that vaccines cause autism wasn't even advocating for parents to stop vaccinating
the paper suggested that one vaccine, the mmr vaccine, was too much for a child's immune system in combination and caused a gut problem which led to autism - which is still bonkers but he insisted that parents should still vaccinate their kids, with separate measles, mumps and rubella vaccines.
and yes, wakefield stood to gain from this separation (he was trying to push a patent for his own measles vaccine and was being paid by a lawyer to find proof to push a class action lawsuit) but again - he was not pushing for parents to stop vaccinating their kids.
that the whole thing spiralled into the idea that all vaccines cause autism is proof that
a) most people pushing the antivax movement have never read his paper
b) all of the celebrities who push this shit are grifters. full stop. it's been a grift from the start and most anti-vax celebs are fully vaccinated and just want your support. the truth doesn't matter to them. they just want your money.

Oh if anyone has pro vaxx sources/statistics send them my way please so I can successfully form a counter argument against some antivaxx graffiti that has personally pissed me off

If I could have just one day pass at work where NO ONE complains about Politics or Covid, I would be a happy woman.

the main difference between the two sides of the dance of the dragons is that the greens are antivaxxers because alicent is logged the fuck in to larys strong westerosi infowars tracking chip conspiracies and keeps getting ravens from her dad about how the septons and the maesters all believe leeches are the only vegan organic non toxic good way to cure diseases. the blacks are antivaxxers because daemon refuses to let foreign substances touch his pure valyrian blood or whatever but he also does coke

I know that I've mentioned several times how I had to go through a period of relearning once I got out of the religious environment in which I'd been raised, and like... A lot of the things I had to research and learn about all over again were fairly obvious, like climate change. My parents and teachers told me that man-made climate change wasn't real, so I believed them. Once I got to college, I realized that I'd been misled, and I had to relearn the whole topic.
But not all of these things were obvious! I went through this period where I didn't even know what part of my education I should be questioning. Like... what do I even research?? Do I actually understand weather? What about history?
One of the reasons I bring up history is because one of the things my parents told me wasn't real was radiocarbon dating. And I don't just mean "well, these are estimations, can't be used for precise dates, and might be somewhat off due to atmospheric conditions." I got the whole "well, this is unprovable* and goes against the history the Bible gives us so you shouldn't trust carbon dating at all."
(*I was taught that anything that wasn't like... observable in real-time was not provable.)
Let's just say... a lot of my childhood was adults around me hedging their bets like "I'm not saying this is fake, I'm just saying it can't be proven and they're asking us to take this hypothesis as fact! I'm just saying you should question things! And not believe those liberal scientists!"
(carbon dating, evolution, the big bang/quantum physics, whether humans and dinosaurs coexisted, climate change, how hiv works, etc.)
And uhhh I went into archaeology (among other things) when I first started college, so you can imagine how this impeded my studies. lmao
idk, I guess I'm not going anywhere in particular with this. I was just listening to a podcast that's currently talking about the paleolithic period and I still had a gut instinctual reaction of "well, you don't know these things are that old" that I had to squash like a fucking bug.
I definitely understand exactly how the "it's good to be curious and read sources critically" to "question everyone, especially experts" to "those liberal scientists are trying to trick you" to "fake news!!" pipeline comes about. ;;

On the off chance there's any fellow victorians following me, reminder the state election's coming up, and you should go check your enrollment's up to date.
Early voting from the 14th, democracy sausage map here as ever (not a whole lot of points yet, for obvious reasons), and the election itself is on the 26th of november (I mean, obviously).
Also postal voting's open for enrollment as of today (2nd nov), though the website seems to be a bit janky atm so maybe try later in the week - ballot packs start being posted on the 14th; enrollment for postal votes closes the 23rd at 6pm.

People can choose.
People can choose not to get vaxed. I will not judge them if it’s for legitimate medical reasons, but I will judge others as they are endangering others and themselves
People can choose to be vegan. I will not judge them if they don’t force their beliefs onto others, but I will when they make their pets vegan and scream at passers by to be vegan
People can choose to not have an abortion. I will not judge them as it’s their right to choose, but I will if they use their situation as a way to say “pro-life” and to force their beliefs on others
People can choose to be religious. I will not judge them as they have a right to faith and belief’s, but I will if they force others to believe the same as them and if they don’t then they hate them
People can choose. But that doesn’t mean I will judge them.
People can choose. But that doesn’t mean I won’t judge them.
