I'll counter your facts with YouTube videos too! Take that, pro-vaccine conspiracy!

3. I don't have a lot of people on ignore, but that's one of them.
And what's hilarious is that I *always* know who THAT "Ignored" is. Still as rabidly anti-vax as ever. She's also the one that thinks quarantine and natural selection will take care of diseases for us.

4. I like to remind myself that arguing with loons is for the benefit of those reading...
Give them a chance to see why anti-vax nutters/creationists/etc. are wrong.

6. Oh absolutely.
And the more you can string that one out, the crazier she gets. Her insanely compulsive need to get the last word in has ALWAYS been her Achilles' heel.

10. And it's now been asserted that all vaccines are the same.
And that all people are the same, and that another diagnosis of not autism is actually autism.

11. Well, you're doing a damn fine job.
(At least from the half of the conversation I'm seeing.)

You're keeping calm, you're making points, you're exposing her colossal ignorance.

12. Thanks.
It's way more fun than 'debating' creationists for a change.

8. But the peer-reviewed journals are IN ON IT!
All part of the same big conspiracy! DON'T YOU SEE!!?!?! :crazy: :tinfoilhat:

One thing sadly not very different between left wing and right wing political web sites is that there are a lot of people out there who slip so very easily and comfortably into conspiratorial thinking when it suits their argument -- there is no fact that can't be portrayed as somebody's deceitful propaganda.

9. The parents of autistic kids are in on it too!
Why else would they argue that their kid wasn't autistic? The conspiracy got them to keep quiet about their kid being autistic until after they got a settlement.
