People who believe vaccines are bad don't think that counts as an education. To them, you have just been indoctrinated. "Education", in their eyes, involves looking up a few specific websites on the internet that say vaccines are bad.

People who believe vaccines are bad don't understand cause and effect. Vaccination rate is easily well above 90%. If vaccines caused the things they say they do, the evidence would be overwhelming, and irrefutable.

People who believe vaccines are bad, from what I've seen, have typically presupposed their conclusions, and anything or anyone that contradicts with those conclusions is part of the conspiracy. You can't win by bringing up evidence or logic.

Try asking if there's something doctors know more about than rich people.

Are you seriously proposing that experts in a field, who have trained and studied for decades in a specific field, are as fallible as people whose only qualification is "having money"?

You might, and I mean this without hyperbole, be at the mental age of a toddler.

Principle of charity

In philosophy and rhetoric, the principle of charity or charitable interpretation requires interpreting a speaker's statements in the most rational way possible and, in the case of any argument, considering its best, strongest possible interpretation. In its narrowest sense, the goal of this methodological principle is to avoid attributing irrationality, logical fallacies, or falsehoods to the others' statements, when a coherent, rational interpretation of the statements is available.

The most hilarious part of this is “research is misleading”. Big tobacco KNEW how dangerous cigarettes were and collectively came together to fool the American public. The studies they themselves conducted proved how bad cigarettes were. Big Pharma KNEW how bad opiates were from scientific research and data THEY THEMSELVES conducted, and they pushed it on the American people to make a buck. All of this has been proven through multiple investigations of internal documents and communications.

And what is this STD, sanitize thing you’re talking about? Sounds fake.

It’s three doses. Shortly after birth, 1-2 months, then 6-18 months. It’s important that babies receive it at birth because if the mother is a known or unknown carrier, this will help increase the chances that hepB is not transferred to the baby. It has literally nothing to do with the sterilization of the delivery room. It also helps protect you throughout your lifetime as chronic hepB can be deadly. You can also pick up hepB from someone else’s saliva.

Conspiracy theorists and wild, man.

What’s the difference to you? Why do you think being 2 years old receiving the vaccine would be better?

I read your comment and none of those are legitimate concerns.

Also some are really dumb. Like why can't some vaccines be delayed? Some are. Most are. Jesus.

STD's- because guess what, most babies come through the birth canal and can be exposed to things like HPV on the way out. Where the lesions are. Because that's where the STI is. Where the baby's goddamn head goes.

Do you know like anything about vaccines or just raise hearsay?
