Thanks for yet another thorough, clear and cogent essay.
You've really done a great job of showing that what vaccinationists lack in intelligence, logic and skill, they clearly make up for in brazen dishonesty.
If deconstructing their transparent bunk is like shooting fish in a barrel, shining a light on Melanie Mallon's spectacular ineptitude is almost embarrassingly so; no wonder you left it out.
Worth repeating: "The vaccine evangelist messages are so far removed from reality that most of the vaccine apologists do not even attempt to defend them and instead spend all their time rerouting conversations, conflating distinct ideas, engaging in shameless projection, gaslighting, and even going so far as to outright deny that their side has been preaching the messages that they are still preaching."
Re: measles ...“They’ve been generating impressive sounding numbers of lives saved by running simulations on models for years.” — Just like the “climate” models … garbage in, garbage out!
I am heartened by the increasing number of people I am meeting who are anti-jab and anti-vaxx, but there are still so many who continue to run around in masks.
Wow. Thanks, Jordan, for this analysis of pro-vaccine arguments. I'm anti-vaccine myself, though I don't proselytize. (Most of my immediate family are in the medical profession, so they already think my non-mainstream ideas are quaint, if not outright crazy.) However, I have bookmarked this essay series, so if I DO need arguments in future, I know where to find them. I bow in humble acknowledgment of your research skills. :o)
I must confess my head is about to explode with all the reading I have done on vaccines and Covid. My journey began with statins about 7 years ago. I may never have it all sorted out, but I am learning the degree to which medical propaganda is ruling our lives!
Thank you! As far as fighting back goes; I think getting to the truth, and sharing the truth is always the starting place. As more people come into the know, there is more will to do something about it, as more will to do something builds up there's more 'way' (Where there's a will there's a way sort of thing). Public opinion is a powerful thing, look how much effort the medical establishment puts into shaping it. I think a shift in public opinion is the key to making solutions viable (what those will be I don't, know, but once enough people set their mind to it we will find them).

Incredible work, Jordan. Thank you for the insight you provide on apologists' playbooks.

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback, and I’m very glad to see this series continuing to be a useful resource for fellow heretics.
For those who'd like to read Greg Beattie's measles vaccine simulations article on the "TheRealAustralianSceptics" blog, please be aware that WordPress cancelled that blog sometime in 2024; but the article may still be found archived at "https://web.archive.org/web/20240326044923/https://australiansceptics.wordpress.com/2012/09/06/measles-deaths-in-africa/" -- though the graph for India seems to be missing, at least for this particular archive of the article.
Dude amazing work!

Thanks for giving me another brick in the wall.
How do we fight back?
