RE: Putting a face to the dangers of vaccines

I don't know how she could have more carefully expressed her point, which is quite true.

I suppose I can understand your getting his back, and I admire that of you, BTW, as you felt he was being browbeaten and threatened.

I think he ignored the voluminous evidence they provided - he simply brushed it aside - and used flags, which no one did to him. My own interjection wasn't a threat, but considering how being piled on by multiple voices might be intimidating in itself, I can concede how you might interpret that as browbeating.

I disagree with that interpretation, and took offense at his characterization of their concerns as dangers to the public. Plus, he was flagging, and I consider that rude, as well as foolish, given he flagged a whale, because downvotes on Steemit take money from the victims, rather than simply express opinion, like on Fakebook.

Sure, it was a bit of ganging up. Everyone took offense, it's a contentious topic with a lot at stake. You know where I stand on flagging, I think I've been clear. I'm glad you did interject, good to have another non-clique opinion.
