YouTube is banning anti-vaccine activists and blocking all anti-vaccine content

If you want an actual explanation you can google "do vaccines alter your dna" and find plenty of results that explain it in simple detail for non scientists.

Others simply say "No it does not alter your dna" because that concept is irrelevant and made up. There's no basis for it.

You don't get to say you're unable to get an explanation if you're not getting it because you either refuse to do the most basic search, or do the search and refuse to acknowledge it.

This isn't about who has moral high ground. This is about convincing people to take the damned vaccine. I'd think it's more important to find ways to reach such people, than it is to feel morally righteous about the skeptic being a parasitic moron who isn't researching hard enough.

It's not about moral high ground. It's about lamenting the vast wave of anti-intellectualism that has reached such a disturbingly high level.

You cannot lead an effective society in which people embrace the doublethink of simultaneously refusing to acknowledge experts, refusing to even attempt to understand something themselves, and still demanding an understanding of something.
