"TheFirst, facts change." really? The fact is that swine flu vaccine in the early seventies was proven the cause of thousands of cases of neurological damage here in the U.S.. "Facts change"? Because this author states as such? LOL
There‘s a chance you may have missed what the author meant by that. Here’s that section:
The point being that facts change, in that what would be taught as facts changes as our understandings change. This is not because the author says so. The author isn’t trying to trick you. No more than climate scientists are faking extreme weather to gin up research grants, as you also seem to believe. If that doesn’t make any sense to you, try replacing ‘facts” with “the things we teach.’
About vaccines, the author mentions them a few times in passing. Nothing that relates to whatever point you’re making about vaccines, above. Are you saying you oppose vaccination? Or merely that some vaccines have been dangerous?
The fact is "facts" don't change.
"Americans think that there is no sound evidence for the existence of evolution or benefits of universal vaccination." nuff said.
If that doesn’t make any sense to you, try replacing ‘facts” with “the things we teach.’ Ooops, nope the things we are taught are oft not "fact" and if you believe otherwise you have not a critical thought process in your mind..............., you're a Leeming.
