This kind of anti-scientific attitude is the reason why vaccine denialism is so prevalent. They can pretend it's rational because they think the other side says, "Stop scaring people with careful analysis of real things! Tell happy make-believe, so the people will do what you tell them to do!"
Written by Rex Kerr
One who rejoices when everything is made as simple as possible, but no simpler. Sayer of things that may be wrong, but not so bad that they're not even wrong.
