I think we should seek to understand each other, rather than suggest opposing viewpoints are 'retarded'.

i don't think i can comprehend genuinely thinking vaccines are bad and that you shouldn't take them.

It's not a black and white issue. A lot of people who would normally comply with vaccines are skeptical of this one, myself included. Any Covid vaccine will be rushed to market, with far less testing than usual. Many of the proposed vaccines are RNA vaccines, which have basically never been widely used in humans before, and could theoretically even be used nefariously.

ah ok, if we're talking about a covid vaccine i will say i have to agree that it will be tested less and will most likely be rushed. i thought this was like general anti-vaccine so i misunderstood

not all antivaxxers are crazy soccer moms. companies can make mistakes, products can have defects; even a batch of products. there are clear examples in the past (the infamous tylenol case, and many others)

it's not a trivial thing when resulting damage can be brain damage or seizures. most of these topics are taken to extremes and people focus on the ego side of the debate, "who is MORE right"... "who is dumber"

reasonable people can understand non-radical views fron both sides

vaccine safety is not anti vaxxine, it's just consumer common sense

fair enough, being aware of what you're getting is indeed important when it comes to health or medicine. i just find it unreasonable to think that all vaccines are bad, or that you shouldn't take any. as it's been shown that vaccines DO help your body resist infections.

yeah this ain't reddit. both pro and antivaxxers want the best for their health and think the other side is brainwashed. what if for ONCE, people joined opposing views and worked together for the truth

vaccines are products, and as products they should have quality and safety standards, that's not a radical stance
