      Funny how antivaccine activists dismiss the possibility of death due to measles (~1 in 1,000) as being of little or no consequence; yet, a one in a million chance of severe reactions to a vaccine is completely unacceptable to them.

      Hmmm I agree with where you are coming from, but that’s a false argument. Everyone has to be exposed to the vaccine risk, but not everyone is exposed to measles... need to multiply to 1/1000 by the probability of being exposed to measles... and if everyone *else* is vaccinated...

      So your argument is that everyone else needs to be vaccinated to protect you if you’re not. That’s actually the pro-vax argument, to vaccinate as many people as possible to protect those few people who can’t have the vaccine.

      Tsk tsk. I am (generally) in favour of vaccines... I am currently cautious w.r.t. the flu vaccine specifically, and I am therefore against mandatory annual flu vaccinations as a condition of employment (currently being considered by my wife’s employer)

      My wife did not get the vaccine this year, her sister and mum did. Guess which two people got a very bad dose of the flu and guess who didn’t? 40% effective is not all that good...

          This kind of purely anecdotal “evidence” has been used in the past to argue that smoking doesn’t really cause cancer, etc. All the hard science shows that flu vaccines are effective. Still waiting for you to post some hard science to support your surprising claim about dementia.

          Read carefully, I never claimed a cause, I cited a fear some people have expressed, and postulated that proof either way of that fear is likely impossible. And it sounds like you don’t have mandatory vaccinations because people who opt out are allowed to remain employed.

          I notice that they did not die. Last flu season 6 of my patients died...so flu can be lethal and the shot can mitigate risk of dying.

          Did the doctor tell you that without the vaccine, your mother in law might have died?

          Yeah, but no. The plural of "anecdote" is not days, assuming this is even true. Since most of what the anti-vaxxers spout is pure bullshit, I doubt that it is true.

          Moron thinks anecdotal evidence constitutes an argument.
