Thinking of getting vaccinated?

[TheDemonLord]

There's that autism again.

Okay then - exactly what level of profit is acceptable and why?

[TheDemonLord]

In what way?

For starters - in the US - homeschooling is just 3.4% of the population.
Secondly - Homeschooling is more popular amongst those with fundamental religious views (which often include reluctance or flat out refusal of 'modern medicine' - preferring more 'spiritual' methods)

Shall I go on?

Both groups were selected from the same homeschooled environment.

It was a direct comparison between two groups whose only difference was their vaccination status.

See if you can work out why that statement is a contradiction....

There is no contradiction in the statement.

- it's like comparing the 1 in 10,000 accident where someone wearing a seatbelt caused greater injury to the risk of injury when not wearing a seatbelt

actually twice as many people died wearing seatbelts than not, last year. i looked it up this morning cos some cop wank bullshitcunt was in the paper saying "a hundred people died on "our" roads that may not have if they were wearing seatbelts."


pretty big MAY and also pretty loose use of numbers as "our" roads isn't just northland, but nationally. and then two hunnit and some shit died wearing seatbelts, so you're twice as safe not wearing one.

turns out it's driving into shit really fast that does it.

but again - that's a false comparison - you need to look at of those people who died wearing a seatbelt, how many would have survived not wearing one* (which I'd posit is a very very small number, if not 0)

Then you need to look at all the people wearing seatbelts who DIDN'T die, who would have without one.*

*within a reasonable margin of error and not accounting for random flukes (like being ejected from a car and landing in a haybale)

well no. see, i didn't wear a seatbelt (like, evar) and didn't drive into any shit..

look at the number of people who didn't drive into shit, and whether they would have a) driven into shit and/or b) died if they were wearing a seatbelt.

Now there's an understatement and a half.

Diaprim went from $13.50 per dose to $750 per dose - overnight.

You need to work on your comprehension skills, read the next couple of sentences.

Please don't think I'm supporting Katman's theories, I'm not. Big Pharma in the US is rapacious in the way it operates.

Them again, CDC is not Big Pharma...

[Katman]

Well - is it Mercury or is it Aluminium?

If it makes you feel better, it can be both.

[husaberg]

See if you can work out why that statement is a contradiction....

Well silly, considering he does believe Andrew Wakefield, We all know Andrew how liked to "select" his trail participants. As well as misrepresent data

[Woodman]

Take a closer look at the comparison between expenditure on research and development and that spent on marketing.

Whats the point in a company making a product if nobody knows about it to buy it?

[TheDemonLord]

If it makes you feel better, it can be both.

Or it could be neither...

Which is what credible studies have shown.

[Katman]

Show me one then - one that's not CDC sponsored.
