LOL.
There are a lot of people out there who think they are being smart by constantly being "skeptics". Pros and cons need to be weighed, good arguments on both sides, etc., etc. So much smarter than those "sheeple" who believe everything they're told.
And of course in general, it's good to be sceptical and question things. But that doesn't mean that all evidence or arguments are equal. Just because a bunch of people spend hundreds of hours creating Youtube videos about 9/11, moon landing, anti-vaxx, and rigged poker conspiracy theories doesn't make them credible.
"good arguments on both sides" of the vaccine debate? LOL. I didn't mention that to start a debate about it, but your reply fits in with other posts of yours, and says a lot about your "skeptic" mindset. This whole quads nonsense is a great example of this flawed mindset. When shown the probability calculations that disprove your contention that they happen too often, you can't simply admit you're wrong and drop the subject - you keep coming back to it again and again, talking about your "observations" and how they can't be proved or disproved, and you're not saying for sure that there's a problem, but gee it sure seems like there might be, all the while making no mention of the fact that it's already been shown not to be a problem.
