Small-Scale Question Sunday for February 23, 2025

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I think the immense propaganda to get vaccinated and stfu should tell you something, and a curious rationalist should wonder why there is this pressure for vaccines and no other medical intervention or medicine?

If I say “I don’t believe in antibiotics, I won’t be giving my kids any” generally people are like “lol weird but ok”. “I don’t believe in braces, teeth with straighten themselves out over time” … “haha ok good luck”

Why is it totally different about vaccines? I believe it’s because there are way more side effects than stated, and pharmaceutical companies make more money than god by mandating they go into everyone’s arm starting from birth. Therefore requiring heavy propaganda and narrative control campaigns.

Last thing I’ll say: clearly you are the type of person who strongly enforces the “right” point of view and socially polices other people’s takes on vaccines. If I had a vaccine side effect and you were my friend, I’d probably be mum about it
