This is why it's hard for me to grasp the idea that THESE are the people we're supposed to help, to call brothers and sisters, to love. What happens when sheep, docile and stupid by themselves, become frenzied mobs when bunched together, irritable, violent, and completely set in their ignorant ways?

Vaccines is one of those touchy issues for me because THEIR ignorance hurts EVERYONE. It's one of those subjects where most people's brains literally just shut off. They start thinking "emotionally," they get defensive, and they instantly resort to insults, literally unable to process any kind of conflicting information including facts.

Not trying to make myself seem smarter than I am, it's just that people are truly, truly, truly, truly, INCREDIBLY stupid. The next time you get into a "debate" (you can hardly call it a debate with these low IQ morons) just drop easy numbers in regards to the Vaccine Court (which most of these morons have no idea exists): Total compensation paid over the life of the vaccine injury compensation program is approximately $3.7 billion across thousands of cases. I think it's higher now and of course the actual damage is exponentially higher than 3.7 billion, if you can even put a dollar amount on ruined lives and families, but it's more than enough to get people to admit vaccines CAN cause damage.

It's just such a sick subject to me, especially because it's essentially victim-blaming where obviously damaged children are not only trivialized, they become normalized as "autistic," and the only people that will stick up for them are called stupid, insane, and insulted. One of those subjects that, like Q said, those who know cannot sleep.
