I've also seen studies to this effect about global warming and creationism. DanTex Mar 2014 #22

I'm guessing it would hold true for most anti-science positions. HuckleB Mar 2014 #26

I'm not against vaccines. I am mistrustful of pharma companies Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2014 #28

There's far more oversight there than in most areas. HuckleB Mar 2014 #31

Pharmaceutical companies are notorious for their misdeeds. nt Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2014 #33

That's your response? HuckleB Mar 2014 #38

What, do you need me to list their misdeeds (which you already know anyhow)? Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2014 #39

In other words, you have no actual concerns about vaccines, but... HuckleB Mar 2014 #41

Oh good grief. I already said I'm not against vaccines per se, but against pharma companies Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2014 #43

Yes, you've repeated that pointless cliche. HuckleB Mar 2014 #45

FFS. HuckleB Mar 2014 #57

Your OP was nothing but your usual meme. What else do you ever talk about? pnwmom Mar 2014 #64

And then you go to the usual unverifiable claims routine. HuckleB Mar 2014 #65

And, as usual, you call me a liar. pnwmom Mar 2014 #69

I'm saying you almost always offer unverifiable stuff. HuckleB Mar 2014 #70
