I think if we're supposed to treat the position against vaccination being effective as "not stupid", we ought to hear reasons why that is.

My point is that if you insinuate that anyone who holds that position is stupid through sarcasm and snarky comments, you are never going to hear those reasons, because no one will want to engage with you.

I've heard tons of reasons why people aren't getting vaccinated. At least every one I've heard is based on false or poor quality information. I wouldn't go so far as to call those people stupid. But I would say most of their reasons for not getting vaccinated are stupid.

And if your response is to compare it to presumably racist/homophobic statements, I'd say the same of your approach.

Even if it’s stupid, what exactly is saying that going to accomplish other than feigning some superiority over the unvaccinated?

> Nobody here is advocating for avoiding vaccinations so your entire point is moot.

I consistently see anti-vaccination rhetoric on HN.

I'm talking about in this specific comment thread.
