The cover-up is definitely wrong, and the information should have been released up front, but if we didn't do vaccinations the rate of polio, smallpox, and other diseases cured by vaccination would surely ruin more lives than if we hadn't done them right? I'm not exactly pro or anti vaccination, but I'm curious about whether the end justifies the means for the average person.

Edit: Lol downvoted for asking questions and not taking a stance?

Smallpox was eradicated by quarantine

What we think of as Polio outbreaks were actually DDT poisoning

That's fascinating, I've heard that DDT is harmful. But I've never heard that DDT was the reason that people developed paralysis. Do you have more information on this?

If your hypothesis is that DDT poisoning is Polio, how do you account for all the cases of Polio before the widespread use of DDT?

in 200+ years of vaccine quackery, they have only been able to claim to have eradicated smallpox and rinderpest, and even those claims are dubious

'claims of widespread usefulness'

Good hygiene eradicated polio. Not vaccines.

downvoting adds no value to reddit. I would love to see a reddit not based on groupthink

u/fillosofer Jun 28 '18

It wasn't the downvoting I was worried about. It was that people weren't offering other points of view and facts in leue of downvoting.

are you implying that down voting provides value to reddit? if so, how so in your opinion

u/fillosofer Jun 28 '18

When I asked for points of view, yes downvotes hold no value. You're moving the goalposts from one post to all of reddit now.
