RE: Vaccines Are The Single Most Effective Medical Treatment Ever Invented

in #health8 years ago

Infographics usually say nothing of value.

You might find that the correlations between the mass adoption of vaccination and the lower rates of disease are more than a bit overblown. Improvements in sanitation, hygiene, and nutrition are much closer to the fact of the decline in the prevalence of these diseases. A look at other diseases, for which there are no vaccines helps to illustrate this.

'Dead children caused by anti-vaxxers' is an appeal to emotion, specifically an appeal to fear, which you hilariously follow up with an accusation of those not in agreement with you of being emotional.

I do not think there is a specific 'appeal to shock', but appeal to personal incredulity seems to cover the last statement.

Do you have any actual arguments?
