This reminds me of what some mormons say about Sandra Tanner, D. Michael Quinn and others. Instead of examining and seriously considering the messages, the left seems to always try to dig up dirt on the messengers. Discredit them personally. Insult them. Poison the well against them, so everyone else will think there can’t be any truth there. Because they’re not saying the things you want to hear. Or not towing some Party line.
The same way some people desperately look for archeological evidence for the Book of Mormon, you’re looking for justification for taking the vaccine. If it were really there, you wouldn’t have to work so hard to try to prove it and convince everyone else. You can just own your decision without doing all of that.
Except I checked out Tucker and found out background information on his education, methods, style, and his questionable journalism. I am not insulting him or poisoning any well. Most Mormons on that board won't even bother to look at utlm.org, Quinn, etc. At least I did watch that clip of him and right away, I could pick of that he was quoting out of context, and never noted the disclaimer from the VAERS site, or what it said about the supposed 4K deaths attributed to the vaccine. That is cherry-picking.
Plus, his college degree is in history, not journalism. He appears to have had OJT for that.
And I HAVE owned my decision about getting the vaccine. But your argument against the vaccine here could easily be reversed:
"You’re looking for justification for NOT taking the vaccine. If it were really there, you wouldn’t have to work so hard to try to prove it and convince everyone else. You can just own your decision without doing all of that."
See? So, why are the anti-c-vaccers working so hard to vilify the vaccine and the CDC? Why can't they just own their decision
without doing all of that?
I have not tried to convince ANYONE on here to get the vaccine--have I? I have said repeatedly on here that it is a personal decision. One should not go against one's conscience in this matter, or be forced to take it. What I am doing is simply trying to get to the truth, and not believe every link, youtube, or quote put down here, zgainst the vaccine,, just because it is down here. There are ALWAYS 2 sides to every story. I have a degree in Journalism from 1974, and my teachers/professors stressed accuracy, accuracy, and more accuracy. And to dig to get it. Which is what I have been doing.
There are always risks for any new medicine or vaccine, even those that took many years to develop and were deemed quite safe.. There were even some deaths from cowpox used to vaccinate against smallpox, a truly terrible and disfiguring disease. If people had stopped giving it out, due to those deaths, the disease would still be with us. But WHO declared it extinct around 1980 or so.
