Autistic woman's heart-wrenching Facebook post wins the "anti-vaxxing" argument

83. I'm not sure I agree...

There are levels/layers of vaccine opponents. There is some room for discussion with people who argue that the pharmaceutical industry has too much influence in the government and on the airwaves.

Climate change deniers seem to come in one flavor. The 'it isn't happening due to man' flavor.

Sure, the folks who won't stop with the 'thimerasol causes autism argument' (despite it not having been used for years) and there are those that insist that it was clean water and fresh fruit (or whatever) that stopped epidemics instead of vaccines, yeah they need to go, and quickly.

However, unlike climate change, there is a complexity to the vaccine debate that leaves room for policy discussion about how drugs are approved and how much responsibility big pharma should have for damages done by vaccines. It is an established fact that some people are damaged by vaccines and are compensated for that damage (even death in some instances).

There's not an equivalent complexity to the climate change debate IMHO.
