Putting “dude” in front of it didn’t make it a point.

Disliking his use of "dude" doesn't refute the point he made

These children were for some unknown reasons vulnerable to viruses. Saying that these unfortunate children were healthy to begin with is literally the definition of science denialism. True medicine would want to figure out why these seemingly healthy children were so vulnerable.

You know what true medicine has done? Developed vaccines to prevent children from getting these viruses, including influenza, because we know that even healthy children can die once they are infected by these viruses.

Yes, I know exactly what true medicine has done and your highly questionable rhetorical tricks are not helping the MD brand. I would never want you as my doctor. True science and true medicine would not make a stupid argument that healthy children can die from these viruses.

Your denial of medical evidence is as strange to all the physicians in this thread as one of us telling you, an electrical engineering PhD student, we don't believe in Maxwell's equations. If we said that, you would just realize we are wrong, tell us as much, and then move on.

Not denying anything. You're insisting that healthy people die from viruses that people with healthy immune systems don't die of. This is a fact, ground rule that any legitimate conversation would have to agree up. You're hell bent on defining the word healthy "disingenuously".

No, I'm defining healthy as anyone else would. A child developing normality with no medical conditions.

I would define healthy as having the ability to survive a normal environment.

Definite normal environment? When an external insult, a virus, invades a body it is not necessarily "normal". So do you consider yourself "healthy"? I hate to tell you this, but there are many viruses that would kill you if you were exposed to them.

Now you're weasel-wording "normal" to somehow not include the experience of 99.9% of people who can beat a seasonal flu. What is normal if not 99.9%?

Every environment has viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi, and toxins that can kill healthy people. That is the normal environment. Being susceptible to an organism that is actively trying to kill does not mean the host is unhealthy. Everyone would be unhealthy by your definition

If the healthy children had not been exposed to a deadly patient, they would have likely lived a long and successful life. It is only an external insult that causes the death.
