to want the anti-vaxxers to explain themselves?

Because it is an uneducated opinion from people unable to think logically and critically.

The charity I holunteer with is working to eradicate polio worldwide. Bill Gates match funds it.

The flu jab has around a 30% success rate, I have no clue how many millions the NHS pay for it but a higher success rate would be nice.

They're not going to explain it with any form of logic! Personally I am so done with listening to anti-vax nonsense, it's not only ridiculous it's downright harmful in the case of children especially who will get ill and potentially die or get disabilities as a result of having illnesses there's no need for them to get! (pauses to catch my breath!) How anyone can actually justify that, I can't imagine.

Just looked at my local dr's page nothing but praise, the odd complaint that they are no longer eligible for COVID vaccine

The flip side would be.....why do you think differently? Everyone is entitled to their opinion - but guess it comes down to who can make the most objective defence?

The last thing I want is to listen to anti-vaxxers explain themselves. They just spew nonsense, endlessly, loudly. They explain themselves without end. It never makes any sense.

Don't invite them to do more 'explaining'!

I was damaged for life by a live flu vaccine in the early 2000’s it wasn’t something I ever really mentioned because quite frankly no on was listening.
I sometimes now explain I have had ‘long covid’ post vaccine damage with a slight eye roll.

It’s just a fad topic at the moment I think.

I was wondering the exact same thing earlier today OP. People are blaming every malady on the vaccine. Let's hope it's just the algorithms as people say, and that the public aren't really like this!

The people who respond to posts like that are just a very vocal minority.

My facebook feed is full of cute animals. You need to look at the stuff that makes you smile!

Well the way the Facebook algorithms work the more you engage with that sort of post the more of it you’ll see. So it’s not in any way representative of what the public actually think. I have no strong feelings either way on the flu vaccine, but have absolutely nothing polluting my facebook feed.

Medical authorities have lost the trust of much of the public. Not only big pharma, who they see as the ones really promoting the flu jab, but they have no trust in government medical authorities, or the research that informs medical practice.

They've squandered what used to be very significant trust and that means other sources of information are stepping in.

Most people don’t respond unless they feel strongly about something so the majority of people will scroll passed, pleased to have a reminder. You’re just seeing natural selection in action when you read these idiotic comments.

FB algorithm is vile and brings you content designed to piss you off.

Come off it or scroll through it.

I agree. No interest. Live by the sword etc.

No idea. I'm afraid I'm not really bothered whether they explain themselves. I don't agree with them, and I'm not very interested in what they have to say.
