> Some Polio vaccines were contaminated with SV40 for years

Right, and the Harvard Mark II had a moth that caused it to malfunction, therefore we can't trust the Apple M1.

This is the level of reasoning that anti-vaxers have sunk to. It's deliberate ignorance and sophistry.

Anti-vaxers aren't "asking questions". They aren't curious about actual reality. They are very confused people who want to maintain a simplistic (maybe naturalistic, who knows?) worldview and are increasingly twisted in knots and therefore filled with cognitive dissonance.

I personally don't like hunting down morons, but when they step on stage and refuse to yield, the should absolutely be mocked, shamed, and embarrassed, maybe even more so that they risk the health and safety of others with their idiocy. They didn't reason themselves into their positions, so I see no reason why we should try to reason them out.

Done.
