Why People Ignore Vaccine Denialists (Part 3)

----PLAYLIST: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=C0BBEA8C43CBD8BE

Why do people ignore vaccine denialists? Because you reference people like Dr. Blaylock.

that's not THEE 'Bill Maher" from HBO, is it?  If not you may want to clarify...if so I'm surprised, and skeptical of the claim.

[deRoyLight]

@verstwo2 It is. Bill Maher compartmentalizes very hard. He's rational on some things, then misplaces his skepticism on other things. The quote shown from Maher was actually taken directly from his website.

Also, you suggest that the reason why people were so prone to pneumonia is because the flu destroyed cells in the lungs. This is very nebulous, at best. While it is true that the flu does kill cells in the lungs, which can invite bacteria, then pneumonia, you failed to mention that bacteria can cause pneumonia INDEPENDENTLY of the flu. However, you probably know this already cus you said the flu made people "more prone," which again would invalidate your gun shot vs bleeding out comparisons.

[deRoyLight]

That's a ridiculous statement. You can also bleed out without getting shot just as you can get pneumonia without having the flu. That's entirely missing the point.

[trufbetold]

Blaylock did not say that the flu virus did not cause pneumonia, rather that many people died from pneumonia and not the flu virus ipso facto. By him saying it this way, he suggests that the pneumonia was not solely caused by the flu. Certain spores, bacteria or parasites may cause pneumonia also. Thats why your comparison to death by gunshot vs bleeding out does not really apply. He makes the distinction between one cause out of many, and your comparison is strictly 1 cause and 1 effect.

[deRoyLight]

To clarify that further... his entire argument was that so many people died not because of the flu, but because of pneumonia. He did so as a means to argue that the flu virus was not particularly dangerous. He then goes on oddly enough to acknowledge this by trying to argue that the only reason the virus was of any danger was because we couldn't properly treat pneumonia, which was the common complication with the influenza. Hence the response following this statement.

Generation Rescue is a disease preying on logic and reason.

[dangerouslytalented]

This guy was a former neurosurgeon?

I am glad I never needed brain surgery.

He is also (surprise surprise) a rightwing conspiracy theorist who believes that there is a leftwing initiated war on Western Culture.

I guess that if vaccines were such a slam dunk then why is it that the pharmaceutical companies are spending BILLIONS on marketing and special perks for Doctors to use their products.

You gotta look at the big picture. It's easy to cherry pick and debunk a couple of ant-vaccine movies, but where is YOUR , scientific evidence that vaccines are as safe and effective? Besides hearsay

[soulinite]

This is a great series. Thank you.

Please debunk Alex Jones's anti vaccine bullshit next.

[naturalmotionraptor]

@swingvalse Um... sure... it's a myth, I wonder where the recreated virus came from then. Argument tip: you can't refute an argument by saying it's impossible, you need to say why, otherwise you're just shouting "no you're wrong!"

[swingvalse]

@Daneoid81

yes I love in when medical septics shoot themselves in the foot, have you seen the one on vaccine denialists Bill Mahir eats the medics alive, they just can't handle him at all. keep posting the videos, I am so glad that I didn't have a flu shot and nor did anyone I know.

[swingvalse]

@naturalmotionraptor

Sorry you are recreating a medical myth here, you can't do histology on a corpse that is 80 years old and recreate a virus, that's the stuff of movies. It is a shame that people quote this nonsense and then build arguments to make a point!

[swingvalse]

@naturalmotionraptor

This is another sci fi myth, they didn't do a placebo trial along side injecting loads of jet trash into the brains of monkeys from the bodies they 'reconstructed virus', that's another myth too. If I injected childs spit into your brain it would kill you! By the way the traditional transmission route of flu is not intracranial injection!

[swingvalse]

@PolitikalJunkie

so are you a left wing system sucker who believes everything your doctor and the CDC tells you?

[swingvalse]

@deRoyLight

Most of the people who died in 1918/19 did because they were given between 5 and 30grams of aspirin to bring the temperature down. It is amazing how many dorks want to believe we are all going to die from the lurgy, the only virus spreading is the misinformation that we are all going to die, it's total bollocks. All we have to do is inject a pile of untested jet trash and all will be saved, until it mutates and then we have to buy another shot!

I don't know anyone who had a shot
