How do you think people should respond when presented with opposition to widely used, safe, effective, life-saving medications, when that opposition is completely unfounded on evidence? "Bristling" seem an appropriate response.

People would probably respond similarly if you proposed, say, to ban plumbing systems.

Nice job avoiding responding to the point of my comment, bravo.

Fyi, that's not a strawman. A strawman fallacy is when I refute an argument that you didn't make. The line you responded to is an analogy.
