Comment on Is it weird to sometimes wonder wether everything you know is wrong?
AA5B@lemmy.world 5 days agoTo me the anti-vax thing is the worst “flat earther “ theory.
- if you do the math, you see vaccinations are an overwhelming benefit, second only to public health efforts as the most benefit to health at the least cost and danger
- if you have a basic understanding of contagion, it’s clear that avoiding vaccinations is antisocial, anti society. Personally I think should be criminalized. Where else are we allowing personal choices where someone gets injured or killed and the perpetrator faces no consequences.
- we all know how ridiculous the autism claim is. Even if you fell for it at the time, it’s been shown ridiculous for half a century now. Why would you cling to this?
- conspiracy theory? Really? Consider how many people would need to be involved in that conspiracy. Ask yourself: for what purpose?
I suppose I’d by not being first in line for a new one. There are manufacturing and logistical issues with any new product that might affect what you get

It depends what which country you live in.
On Lemmy, most of us live in Western Democracies, where you sort of can trust government agencies that checks their safety.
But in other countries, their public health department doesn’t actually do a good job of checking if something is acually safe.
Some Black people were skeptical of thw Covid vaccines because they remembered this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_Syphilis_Study happening to them.
Just imagine a developing country where either they aren’t democratic or has a very flawed democracy that’s even worse than thr US, with corruption everywhere.
Like, say for example, the US replace the FDA with all trump lackeys and started approving medicine/vaccines that are dangerous.
I’d honestly look at what the doctors and experts in Blue States have to say about it, the US federal government is no longer trustworthy.
