Fact fights on FB are interesting to play and helps to educate those who are watching :)

My daughter, who is not yet four, knows how herd immunity works because Doctors Chris and Xand did a demonstration about it on the telly using beach balls.

Catch the first Royal Institute lecture from Dr (Prof?) Hannah Fry if you'd like to see an easily understood explanation of herd immunity.

Although that's possibly a bit complicated for a four year old ;-)

I'll look it up, though. I enjoy watching Dr Hannah Fry.

Problem is, those who need to see it, are immune from evidence...

I heard there's no telling a herd that what I heard is a fact as they have herd immunity and have heard too much dishonesty.

Joking aside. If l call out this nonsense I'm accused of not respecting the opinions of those who disagree.

How can I respect an opinion that's worth jack shit? You can't make thousands of years of scientific thinking subjective and come up with an alternative dipstick notion because you couldn't be arsed to pay attention at school, or can't be bothered to go to your local library and read up on it. Or, yes, watch an explanation being given to a bunch of young teens.

Sorry. Want my respect? Stop talking Dingo's Kidneys then....

We should run a poll to see if there are any anti-vaxxers on Fetch. I suspect there are one or two. None that would dare venture in here though.

Alastair McAlpine (a South African doctor who is loudly anti anti-vax) posted the following today:
The reality is, if you’re:
- A fad-diet evangelist
- Anti-vaccine
- A climate-change denialist
- A cholesterol denialist

Or, like some scientists, all of the above...
You’re not a ‘maverick’ or a ‘truth teller’.

You simply don’t understand science.

Name-calling will be called out, and Ad hominem will be frowned upon. :-) And whatabout-ery sits somewhere above responding to tone and below contradiction.
