    No, shit? Are you guys having a stroke? Should we send help?

    It’s clearly a joke. Poking fun at the “Regulations are written in blood!” crowd who have to scream “It’s safe and effective!” in everyone’s faces because their very souls on the line if they’re wrong. They’re telling themselves. Especially when they’re yelling it at me.

    For me, if evidence pops up years down the road that it has a statistically increased chance of causing cancer or whatever, it’s no big deal because I know regulations have to be written in blood because that blood is the evidence that there is a problem. We can’t act till we have evidence.

    The question is are you perfectly okay with waiting till people start exploding? What if you explode?

      So you’re just a troll. “Why don’t more people adopt an unreasonable position?”

      There were/are plenty of antivax hippie types. You seem to be trying to lump everyone on the left as being on the same page as them. Who are all these people screaming “regulations are written in blood,” at you? I’ve never heard the phrase in my life. Apparently this represents some broad cultural movement? Can you name some notable public figures who oppose all regulations except when it comes to vaccines?

      Or are you just pulling all of this out of your ass to troll?

          So you can’t name a single notable figure.

          “Google it” is that the standard now? All that shows it that some random people on the internet say it. It doesn’t prove that those people are the same ones who support regulations regarding vaccines. It also doesn’t show that it represents any real meaningful movement.

          It’d be like if I said, “Why do so many people scream ‘taxation is theft’ and then support burglery?” and when someone asks, “Do they support burglery? Who?” I respond, “Just Google it and you’ll see lots of people saying that phrase.”

          You’re just a troll. And one of the worst kinds of trolls, someone who trolls about vaccines. Your stupid little games get people killed.

            This is an unhinged non sequitur. I am clearly in favor of vaccines. I am clearly pointing out how incredibly safe they are.

              The way you troll is by saying more people should be antivax and then explaining (once pressed) that you’re actually pro-vaccine and just want them to be internally consistent with principles they don’t actually hold.

              You’re not being clever with this shit, you’re just helping to poison the well.

                  But it surprised me that the crowd that are terrified of Forever Chemcalz, atomz, BPA, microplastics and frequently scream “Regulations are written in blood!” were chomping at the bit to force everyone to get injected with a product from Big Pharma that was fast tracked and bypassed all normal regulations to get to market as soon as possible by the executive orders of a billionaire president they despised.

                  That sounds a hell of a lot like criticizing pro-vaccine people as hypocrites because we’re supposedly the same group that scream “Regulations are written in blood.”

                    It’s criticizing political hobbyist. I got the vaccine because it was rational to get it. You got the vaccine because it was fashionable.
