This is not about learning the facts, unfortunately, these alternative thinking people are against medicine not because the facts indicate that medicine is in the wrong, in fact medicine is based on science. Only because this is their belief and people cling to beliefs even when logic and facts dictate otherwise.
This is the very reason why these posters start out to portray themselves as reasonable, some would say things like I myself vaccinate my children, but you just have to understand these people that have ‘concerns’ about vaccinations, you just have to realize that these people are better educated then you might think, in fact they are better educated than you, this is why they decided not to vaccinate, its about being in the know and educated, this is how they start off to come across as moderates and to validate the ‘alternative’ movement.
Yet once it is shown that the evidence is not on their ‘side’, they get exposed for being fundamentalists, they try to overload the thread with many garbage posts which have its only source in these radical anti-medicine blogs, they accept whatever is typed by these radical people as fact then expect everyone else to answer to them and prove them wrong. When they are proven wrong. they never apologize for the incorrect data they posted, even when it is in public, they just continue with more overload of garbage.
I think that by now it is very clear to most people why the average physician is not able to respond to these claims, it is not because they are not educated, they are. It is because they are not aware of all these MADE UP CLAIMS and Made up data, its not like there are two sides, its a few people that write something and when the doctor is not familiar with the nonsense and lies, they consider themselves ‘educated’.
Knowledge is power, that really depends if you have the right knowledge of the garbage nonsense that was posted on some radical anti-medicine blog, it is like reading novels and expecting everyone else to know about the events you read.
