So then can we conclude you don't have any actual evidence and you were just making shit up?

If anything he contributed way more than you.

Unfortunately, I'm not a walking encyclopaedia of illnesses. By 'sickness bug', I mean a generic illness which makes you physically sick. Like the norovirus I suppose.

I also take issue with the idea that refusing a vaccination is child abuse. That's absolutely absurd.

It's not absurd at all, it's perfectly reasonable. Refusing to have your child vaccinations is refusing to give them proper medical care.
It's like saying I was abused because I could have contracted an illness from my dog.

No, it's not.

It is indeed that absurd. An argument could be made that prayer healing is child abuse, but not getting vaccinations is just medical ignorance. So long as they bring their child to the doctor whenever they become sick, it's okay at the least.

Okay, so you don't have evidence and your claim is false.

Thanks for clarifying that for us.

Mav, he was right to ask for them to clarrify what they're objecting to. Just asking for a source is lazy debating at the best, and you know it.

You heard wrong. Whomever you heard those things from was a disgusting liar. Everything you said was the complete opposite of truth.

This seems to be on too small a scale to be a significant problem. The anti-vaccine trend is a bigger problem.

Is it just me, or do others also suspect that the members of the Pro-Disease movement are undercover worshippers of Nurgle, the Chaos God of Disease, Decay, and Destruction? In order to make sure if we're dealing with Nurgle cultists here, try and find the following symbol on pictures featuring Pro-Disease activists:

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

I mean, if they want to be anti-vaccine, they should be talking about actual problems like overuse in the livestock industry.

No one has to prove your claim wrong. You have the burden of proof. If you can't provide evidence for a claim, don't make the claim.
