Anti-vaxxers have been around as long as vaccines themselves. Headlines from 1879 and 1885. https://timeline.com/anti-vaxxers-have-been-around-as-long-as-vaccines-themselves-6208a9888867#.yc2t7qtnq …pic.twitter.com/NEPN7SMiuf

@calestous @Timeline_Now I think it's helpful to admit our profound ignorance & the way we have historically oversimplified bio systems.
@brandonwilson Here is an admission and comment @Timeline_Nowpic.twitter.com/13JTJfLuzu
@calestous @Timeline_Now I agree, but disciplines aren't equal. Med sci is insular, resistant to chg, biased by biz, grossly overconfident.
@brandonwilson I don't have the competence to comment on the entire field of medicine @Timeline_Now
@calestous @PessimistsArc @Timeline_Now I'm not anti-vax, but it's rational to be skeptical of med sci. It knows little, often wrong.
@brandonwilson What are the alternatives? @PessimistsArc @Timeline_Now
@calestous @Timeline_Now Over focusing on single variables (fat, pathogens) ignoring secondary effects. Very similar to poor econ policy.
@brandonwilson Good point. But not true for all medicine @Timeline_Now
@calestous @Timeline_Now Yes & I'm grateful for modern med -- personally impacted. Acute care is particularly effective.
@calestous @Timeline_Now None really, besides gambling on contrarian views/becoming an expert yourself. Maybe in ~30 yrs cred will be high.
@calestous @baseballcrank @Timeline_Now typically 95% of the health improvements came before the vaccines introducedpic.twitter.com/rVzHOhYuOd
@kderosa @calestous @baseballcrank @Timeline_Now that's death rates. Infection rates are a different story. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ed/Measles_US_1944-2007_inset.png …
@JayAlver @calestous @baseballcrank @Timeline_Now Yes, both a different and irrelevant story to the point made.
Boy-o-boy, you needed to have a strong pants game in the 30's, huh? @calestous @Timeline_Now
@calestous @ksenapathy @Timeline_Now Prince believed in "chemtrails" - was he also an anti-vaccer?
