Vaccine provocation

Retired now, my work career centered around Operating System Programming. Diagnosis of faults anywhere from transistors through any application program. As such, you must master facts and data from empirical data. This is what the Age of Enlightenment brought and it works. But I never forgot how brief the time, the few generations that separate us from the Dark Ages.

So I'm relaxed when normal medication trials are properly conducted but fully aware of the 'stream' of advertising for 'home remedies.' All we can hope is that the avoidable tragedies of non-empirical claims reduce their probability of reproduction while acknowledging it won't happen fast enough to witness in our time frames.

I would suggest it is "less bad." I do note that the silly cartoon misuses the terms of empirical science to lie and deceive. If it were just someone trying to rationalize their poor choices, fine by me. Remember the thread title, "Vaccine provocation."

We started with another fairly innocuous thread where I mentioned the typical Fall tasks, inflating tires and vaccinations. I don't remember if I also mentioned getting a Fall and Spring oil change. Regardless, it soon was trolled by an anti-vaxer which was almost as bad as putting RFK Jr in charge of the CDC and FDA.
