The US CDC has updated its vaccine safety page to promote long-discredited claims about vaccines—namely that they cause autism
Autism and Vaccines
The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.
Oh look, the bizzaro scientific method.
Prove me "crazy thing" wrong! No I don't have to show evidence you have to show evidence against it.
It's so stupid. You can't prove a negative. The people claiming vaccines cause autism need to show evidence for their claim, not the other way around.
The claim that "vaccines do not make you actually super hot and cool" is not an evidenced-based claim because no one has actually ruled out that vaccinated people are cooler and actually better hangs.
Equally valid statement
Unfortunately they are starting to exploit the biggest “weakness” in science. That theories are valid only because they have yet to be disproven. And that theories will change if new evidence is introduced to the contrary.
They are now basically saying “well since you can’t prove it, there’s a chance” which is fundamentally correct at its base but it’s in extremely bad faith.
They’re now basically forcing people to prove a negative, which is impossible as a means of forcing their views.
That theories are valid only because they have yet to be disproven.
No, scientific theories are valid because they are overwhelmingly supported by evidence.
While it is true that they can be changed or replaced by evidence that dos not fit the theory, they are not just speculation waiting to be disproven. The 'biggest weakness' you are describing is a complete misunderstanding of science.
Your last sentence is correct, but also contradicts your first paragraph.
The weakness of science is its vulnerability to sophistry and its demand for trusting evidence over what sounds right. The strength of science is that no other framework has ever come close to it in ability to draw practical conclusions about reality.
I thought living in the future meant we would all be super smart and know shit, not whatever the fuck this is.
Idiocracy wasn't a movie, it was a documentary sent here from the future.
I re-watched Idiocracy recently... it was smarter than this.
Thank you for your daily contribution to capitalist society. Unfortunately, your woke-style awareness of social dilemma is counter to the goals of:
You’ll have 15 social credits deducted and may participate in free speech once again starting at 12:00pm tomorrow. Be aware that your score is nearing levels that will prevent job occupation, social program participation, social media participation, sunlight exposure, and time spent with family. Should your score decrease further, you may be required to shop exclusively from Grade D consumption centers. Have a good day.
Have a good day.
Have a productive day.
That was before income inequality and oligarchy won
It's crazy that the CDC can no longer be trusted as an information source now. 😖
Corruption is a cancer that destroys everything it touches.
Also normalized fascism but that's kind of redundant
