What? Lol

Ik enough. Im a doctor

No, im a cardiologist

No lmao

That’s when the DSM was updated

That’s what the graph says

Do you know how to read graphs?

Look at it again, the scale isn’t 1. It’s 2

Oh nvm

I thought i had a graph i sent but it didnt send

Why cant i send pictures

Anyways i gtg, and there’s no point in discussing this if you’ve been doing research for 8 years and haven’t found the innumerable studies that show zero link between autism and vaccines. Probably wouldn’t hurt to do some chemistry research - compounds dont have the same chemical properties as their elements

Ant study that has “linked” the two doesn’t establish a causal link. Look at the studies that do

@🎃Oakheart🎃 you need an explanation for how things accelerate

Wtf

It’s not pseudoscience

Gravity is a well-established phenomenon

I dont think the earth is flat

It’s an oblate spheroid

Why do you believe that

@Kyle Partlow

Why do objects accelerate when they fall

Gravity cannot exist in a flat earth model

Anything as massive as earth would become a sphere

This is just logical

Entropy is high when a massive object is not spherical

There’s a reason why our sun, moon and every other planet is spherical

What don’t i know @mrbizzy

Well i do know

We can verify these things

Go get a telescope if you want

I’ve gotten no good explanation for it.

There’s this crazy thing called a tool

That’s not why i believe gravity exists

There’s no other way to interpret the projectile motion of planets

The problem is that our intuition often leads us astray

It may appear that we live on a flat surface, but i dont think that’s the case

If gravity exists, something as massive as the earth should be spherical. So you need some sort of explanation as to why it’s not a sohere

Gravity is a well-established phenomenon

We can show you how two masses interact with each other based on gravity

I can define what gravity is

It’s the force between any two objects that have mass

The attractive force*

Like, we can literally model gravity with math

We have equations to explain this, that work 100% of the time

Gm1m2/r^2

The equation for the force of gravity between any two objects^

We have physics. We can model this stuff.

Anything as massive as earth will inevitably become a sphere

This is simple thermodynamics

You understand that “theories” in science are **incredibly** reliable, right?

https://www.notjustatheory.com

This is for evolution ^ but it gets the same point across

Not right now, no.

Not necessarily

^

In the way we understand light to function, you need an explanation as to how the light from the sun doesn’t illuminate the whole earth at once

How does our explanation “lack bits”

I still want an answer as to how things accelerate downwards on a flat earth

Alright, there’s no point in having a convo if you’re not willing to engage in a discussion

No

I wanted an explanation for acceleration on earth

You gave none

Why would you believe in a flat earth if you dont know how things accelerate downwards

The galaxy is moving, our solar system is moving

They can cause rashes and whatnot

Nothing lethal

@hootersforshooters

Being a doctor makes me cringe at anti-vax stuff

It really shows the failings of our education system

Everyone who is able to get vaccinated should be vaccinated

There are certain genetic conditions where vaccines can cause extreme reactions like paralysis

Which is why it’s necessary to have herd immunity for people like that who can’t get vaccinations

Nah

I was talking about the general population

Within the general population, aka people whose genetics are normal and don’t have compromised immune systems, the worst that can happen is a rash or a cold. There are certain conditions where things like paralysis can be caused

But let’s be clear. These conditions are incredibly rare

And they’re certainly not evidence that vaccines are bad

I did answer it clearly

It’s called nuance

The Absolute worst that can happen is something like temporary paralysis

Again, extremely rare.

Im sure there are extenuating cases where someone dies because of a bad batch

But we’re better off with those extenuating cases than having widespread disease

Dude

Do you really think those cases are representative of the effectiveness of vaccines?

Millions of vaccines are given each year, saving millions of lives

Then you look at the few extenuating cases and say “oh look! They’re so so bad. Let’s get rid of em”

Well what’s your normative claim then

I think everyone should be vaccinated. Everyone that is able to at least

There are genetic conditions that make it unsafe, people with compromised immune systems shouldnt be vaccinated, etc

Aka people who have a greater chance of being harmed by the vaccine should not have to get it

People who have a good chance of being harmed by it

Good chance = a lot more than the percentage of the population at large

Harmed = life put at risk

Running the **incredibly** low risk of paralysis is better than not being vaccinated and contracting a disease

No, there’s a risk/reward associated with this

You run the **incredibly** low risk of being temporarily paralyzed (more than 1 in 10,000,000) and you dont die from the flu or mumps or measles

I dont think you understand how deadly these diseases are

More people died from the flu in the ww2 era than from the holocaust and war combined
