Wise words.

You seem incredibly angry about the possibility of people choosing the separate jabs. Can you expand?

I am not incredibly angry at all, and I'm not really sure that mis-interpreting me, or judging my mood from some typed up words is particularly wise. It certainly adds nothing to the debate. So far, from the anti-vaxxers, I have been accused of being very angry, freaking out and having post post tristesse. Maybe, sticking to the facts is something you anti-vaxxers are keen to avoid. I wonder why?

I am merely stating that people far more qualified than you or I have deemed it unnecessary to split the MMR. The reasons were in my post. What's there to be angry about?

"post post tristesse" was a dig at me not you.

Definately not. It's the problem with the whole 'experts' thing though. Once something is out there as accepted wisdom anyone who contradicts them is seen as eccentric. We had the big bang theory of the 'start' of the universe, for decades. Then someone eventually plucked up the courage to ask 'what happened before the big bang ? ' Since then the scientific community have come up with three or four alternatives ...

You've chosen an entirely theoretical period of time with unknown laws of physics to illustrate that 'experts' are not always right?

Amazing

He's also arguing that, because the science community is not always right, that anyone who challenges them is regarded as eccentric. Not true - providing the challenges are based on strong evidence.

I see the point you're trying to make but it's not a great comparison. This is the advice of some (maybe many, it's hard to say) nutritionists rather than 'the medical community' as a whole. It's pretty hard to properly analyse the effects of what we eat because people are not good at making food diaries and perhaps there's a cause-and-effect going on here...people are told to eat less fat, so manufacturers put less fat in their foods but have to replace it with something. That means more sugar and bingo, 30 years later it's sugar that's the problem.


But it's an interesting argument you make. One question - if someone in your family was told they required heart surgery, would you say it's a bad idea because the medical community have changed their mind about fats and sugars?

The majority of nutritionists are quacks.

Agree. If you're trying to sell a book and the content is basically 'all that stuff you're doing that we've been advising for years...still ok. carry on' then you'll never be rich.

I know people believe different things and that's fine as long as you're not harming anyone, but Jesus Christ there's some nutjobs out there. It's funny how you exist in your own little bubble surrounded in real life and online by people who for the most part think the same way as you about things, the big things anyway.
