We live in an imperfect society where extremists leverage the very real flaws to insist that everything is absolutely corrupt and that we should embrace the exact opposite of anything that’s imperfect. Vaccines don’t prevent 100% of all infections for everyone? They’re obviously complete frauds that do no good at all.

The sad thing is that we have real problems, and this nihilistic insistence that everything is fake means that those problems will only get worse.

People do this when they have nothing to say, but find a post uncomfortable and want to try to either weaken the post, or discredit its author.

Right?

Whenever I get into a discussion about vaccines I say something along the line of:

Of all the shitty things our governments do in our names, you’re choosing vaccines to fight against?!

This argument is 100% of the time used to silence people by telling them that they should be talking about anything other than the subject they are currently talking about. It's also a generic argument that can be used to dismiss any issue without changing the wording.
