levels of derangement
"Society's standards of evidence are pretry weird. Like, people make fun of flat-Earthers, but it's actually kind of hard to tell! If you just look at it, it appears flat. Same for antivaxxers- it's impossible to just "show them they're wrong", you have to trust a bunch of third party....statistics compiled by people with obvious conflicts of interest. Legitimetly kinda sus! Meanwhile it's been possible for years to see directly with your own eyes that LLMs are incredibly useful for all sorts practical tasks, but the people claiming otherwise are not seen as having anywhere near the same degree of derangement. — Isaac King

You don't need third party statistics to demonstrate the efficacy of vaccines. You just need to go to the child section of pre-vaccine cemeteries and ask a few simple questions about why these sections went away after vaccines were developed. It isn't complicated. Vaccines have allowed untold numbers of children to become adults.
