I would like to give props to AspieGrrl

[TZ]

She's started a thread about how damaging anti-vaxxers are in GD. She talked about a young girl she knows who died of meningitis and while we can of course never know for sure, its a wonderful opportunity to talk about the diseases that are becoming a problem because of these nuts.
Good for her!
:applause:

1. You're lovely!

I didn't actually know the girl personally, but several of my friends did.

Again, you're fabulous. :hug:

[LeftishBrit]

2. Seconded!

:applause:

3. Great going! It's been a long while since "what's the harm in believing crap?" sounded

as dumb as it should.

:)

Well done AspieGrrl! :applause:

4. AspieGrrl is a total woo

She believes in stuff like "science" and "evidence." Honestly, how can you trust anything she says?


:evilgrin:

Incidentally, are you calling out AspieGrrl with this thread?

:evilgrin::evilgrin:

5. I can't believe the HUGE target that was posted about mid-thread

I mean, just a giant bulls-eye.

[Pale Blue Dot]

6. Can you believe we live in a world in which Jenny McCarthy is treated as a expert on ANYTHING?

I mean besides nose picking?

How can people claim that she's a credible source and not be completely ashamed of themselves?

[Orrex]

7. You don't find her arguments compelling?

Ad hominem? Well.... Maybe.

[Odin2005]

8. I cannot stand that woman.

Every time I see one of her books on display at Barnes & Noble I get nauseous. :puke:

9. Its the same mindset

that allows the woos to quote "chapter and verse" from RFK's Rolling Stone article as the equivalent of NIH backed peer reviewed research..
Its also part of the Oprafication of America as well...anything Oprah gives airtime to is simply accepted as correct..:banghead:
