Obviously Tracey is the best and a well deserved Best guest winner.
But never have I loved her more than when she quickly shut down Chemdas anti-vaccination bullshit conspiracy theories. |

This could be helpful for understanding the importance of the flu shot. I used to think I didn't need it since I'm not a child or older and I hardly get sick, but then it was explained to me that even though I am not likely to die of complications from the flu, I can still be a carrier of it and pass it on to others. So it's important to get the flu shot even if you never get sick. Even when you do get the flu shot and still get sick, it doesn't mean it's not working. It still might help prevent you from getting something that you then carry and pass on to a child, older person, or someone with a compromised immune system. You're helping to raise the protection of those more in danger.

Chemda is the queen of not wanting to take medicine and while that's fine for some things I just can't when it comes to anti-vaccine rhetoric.
If the message was - Hennessy researched it and I can't take the vaccine because it interferes with my condition/meds that's fair. But don't randomly spread that vaccines don't work anyway and contain dangerous ingredients pretty please. Last edited by Lanfear; 02-15-2018 at 05:19 PM. |

When I asked my child's doctor what to look for in case a particular vaccine had adverse affects on my kid, the doctor said "Oh that won't happen." When I repeated the question three times and got the same answer, I left feeling pissed off and much more untrusting that either the doctor was lying (wtf would that benefit?) or straight up had no idea what the possible side effects could be (I mean for christ sake doctors get pamphlets for this shit how couldn't they know?) and that's scary in and of itself. Any time the first response is to shit all over someone's decision what you're doing is A)not listening and B)making the decision that theres nothing you could possibly learn. There are LOTS of reasons why vaccines scare people. Conspiracy and autism is a small chunk of those people.

This conversation is interesting.
I get both sides. There seems to be a lot of distrust of science because it is not perfect. Millions of children get vaccinated each year, a handful have allergic reactions (or have some other extremely rare condition that cause an adverse reaction). That handful gets the news stories and the blog articles about the dangers of vaccines. Suddenly everyone "knows" a kid who got a shot and xyz happened to them. Or I see a Facebook meme where someone has used Google to freak themselves out over a chemical being in something without a basic understanding of chemistry. Stuff like "Did you know the NaCl that's in your table salt is also found in Bleach!" But also, the Tuskegee experiment and unauthorized sterilization and James Marion Sims. So I get it. People's concerns are valid. But I also get how exhausting it could get to be bombarded with questions based on conspiracy theories and unsubstantiated claims and WebMD all day. And not being able to adequately explain why it's all wrong cause it would take at least a basic foundation in science to understand... But the education system... This is reason #565785 why I prefer lab work to interacting with the public. |
