As an interesting parallel; my dog started losing his hair. I went online to figure out the cause and learned a lot of good information. Food sensitivity causes canine hair loss, corn based diets are bad for dogs, large inexpensive name brands use suspect ingredients...there were tons of forum discussions available with information. Pages of talk with people's experience trying to correct the problem. Inevitably, they fed the dog such and such terribly expensive food and the problem went away...then the manufacturer must have changed the formula because it came back...tried new ultra expensive dog food which fixed the problem....

Everyone obviously loved their dogs and they were doing everything they could to fix it. Same story over and over, tons of money spent.

Until I noticed one random comment that was different; "seasonal pattern baldness". Nothing you can do, it's incurable and comes and goes with the seasons.

So all the anecdotal experience, one food fixed it then the brand changed and it came back...all of it was random chance as the problem naturally came and went. But when the answer was provided, you can't fix the problem, it was completely ignored.

I believe people reject that they can't control things in life. Isnt this what makes people reject science and turn to naturalism and religion? The idea that you can reshape the world, in your own mind, into something you can control.

The thing is, you CAN control things in life, like maybe getting infected with a preventable disease. People don't reject things they can't control in life, I don't think that's the problem. I think it's because some people, once they have a formed opinion about something on their head, they have neither the mental capacity and/or humilty to admit that they are wrong and others are right.

Have fraternal twins, one with autism and one without. its not vacines

Being the father of a 4 year old little boy who was born with a congenital heart defect, and has had several operations, I've spent more time than I care to think about in children's hospitals.

It breaks my heart seeing all the sick little kids in there.

It therefore makes me really angry seeing and hearing about kids that are sick/dying or crippled from illnesses that could have simply been prevented had they had vaccinations.

stupid is as stupid does. it may be harsh and cold, but if the genes of stupidity are present in the parents, it might be better if their kids didn't make it to procreation age.
