It's just knowledge!

"I don't care what they say; that's the way I feel about it."

Man, that's exactly where ignorance begins, with feeling a certain way that makes you comfortable in spite of fact.

I learned this from YouTube and VS!

Ugh. My patience with these kinds of people is wearing thin.

On a lighter note, if all of these people stick to their guns, maybe good 'ol natural selection will finally klil all of them off and get them the hell out of my gene pool.

Looks like a win/win here.

Mixed in with confirmation bias, what could go wrong?!

I'm generally ok with the practice of stupid as long as it's not hurting anyone else, but these anti-vaccine assholes put a lot of people at risk. So start with fining these nutjobs $100 per day for every day they refuse to vaccinate. If that doesn't work, throw their asses in jail until they get the point. If they still don't vaccinate, take their kids from them and vaccinate them anyway.

Your freedom to be stupid ends when you start putting lives at risk.

The internet IS knowledge. That the way I feel about it.

They dont actually keep us sick, but they keep us close.
For example here in Germany its much more profitable to dish out cheap drugs than to actually try to heal with other options.
Some, not all, exploit this. Its actually common knowledge. For example dentists use low quality fillings so that people have to come more often or doctors use drugs first on any case, so they can get more money from the patient.
I have to say its mainly here in Germany because of our 2-class health system which has many holes, but I could very well imagine its not much different elsewhere.
For example the 2-class system allows doctors to treat one of the class with significantly less effective methods, because the effective methods are more expensive. Also they arent allowed to treat too many people of the lower class. Well they are allowed, but they only get money for a certain number. If they exceed that number they dont get money for the ones that are over that number. So they try to stall them until a new months starts or just give them drugs that wont help (they get money for prescribing drugs).
That has nothing to do with doctors trying to heal people. Its all about the money.

You just have to look at the sheer numbers of pharmacies in this country. Even in very small towns its common that there are 3-5 of them in the same street. They make a lot of money from these practices.

If there is a possibility to exploit something and get money from it, people WILL use those exploits.
Oh and I didnt get that from the Internet, I got it from personal experience in both classes, statistics that are openly available plus my brother actually works in a pharmaceutical firm.

lulz

Everything in the below stated comment is a product of a shitty system, not shitty doctors. Blame your politicians.

they should have interviewed bill maher for this
yea, normally smart as he is, he really believes in this kind of shit
sure, people today are way overmedicated
it's a very good principle to keep unnecessary chemicals out of your system
but that doesn't mean that some things, like vaccinations, are actually a very good idea and not a conspiracy to make you sick
if you have any prescription lasting longer than a month or two, you should make sure there's damn good reason for it, and review your drug intake with a doctor atleast once a year
