I'm pretty sure the willingness of Americans to get vaccinated in the 40s wasn't just WW2 patriotism- The average American in that era had seen polio and TB first-hand, and was fairly likely to have family, neighbours, people they knew personally, who'd had a kid die from the preventable diseases that we vaccinate against. In a way, the modern anti-vax movement is a result of vaccination program's success- 99% of anti-vaxxers are people from developed nations, under 50, who've grown up, never seeing any harm done by vaccine-preventable illnesses like measles, mumps, TB, polio etc... BECAUSE vaccines have meant these illnesses are either non-existent, or so rare (in the first world, at least) that most people have never encountered them. But the average adult in the 1940s had grown up in a very different world...
Yup. My mom and grandma have said this for years. If you saw small pox or polio, you'd never deny vaccines. A child dying of whooping cough is horrid according to grandma and her mother.
Among the things that ignorant people are ignorant of is their own ignorance. Its one of the most fascinating and infuriating aspects of life as human.

Most people are inherently good, but the politicians, media and corporations who have the most indirect effects on our lives might operate by “What’s best for me". We aren't communist or socialist, so individuals still have the freedom to think and choose for themselves outside of what you call "American life".
@@TylerWitucki thanks to American education you, like many, believe media, government, and corporations have “indirect” influence over us while socialism is bad and capitalism gives us real freedom......
@@gking407 At least I'm educated. You are clueless if you believe corporations, media, and the government don't have a large impact on people. Please go to communist China or North Korea and have your freedoms striped away and tell me how free you feel. Socialism has never worked out in history....
I agree but people also tend to lump everything under that category. While at the same time 12 people in 8 months go missing after they make a breakthrough or find another cure for cancer. We have many many cures and we actually do know what causes it it's just that those things are like the framework of our society so it would be "world-ending" for that stuff to actually get out to the public
@@larsy7563 well it's only "probable" bc it was never allowed to be replicated and if it was wrong why would it need to be silenced?? Most of our problems could easily be solved if we just accepted and understood the universe even just as much as we pretend to. Studies have shown that real differences in the growth of plants when you say negative things to them as apposed to positive, the fact that computers work proves that the world is not physical that it is energy, and we know that time is a man made construct yet insist in time travel and the multiverse. It's like we are running away from the truth
The drastic reduction of polio was proven by multiple studies (including from several ivy league medical universities) to have been helped more by wastewater treatment & sanitation practices than the "vaccine." The first practical "vaccine" was exposing people to cow pox triggering an immune building response that kept them from later dying of smallpox. People wouldn't have to be getting jabbed all the time of they weren't raised in bubbles of isopropyl alcohol.
@@harbingertheheretic3541 Polio is not only transmitted by dirty feces contaminated water, but also from bodily fluid (drool, sneeze, cough) of infected person. Hence vaccination is still needed or else you want another COVID like situation . Then again your last sentence implied we should be living in a more dirty way if we want to be immune from virus without vaccine, which negates the asserted benefit of wastewater treatment.
Another issue with the idea of "your choice on which 300$ insulin to buy" is that this ONLY works for the rich. The poor, like me, often only have one option anyway, either because outreach programs can only afford the cheapest option, or because I can only afford the cheapest option. Take antibiotics, I have an allergy to both ammox and sulfa drugs... so doctors are wary of giving me amoxicillin's little sister: penicillin. However the other antibiotics are prohibitively expensive. This means that despite me having the "choice" of antibiotics with few or no side effects, I've actually had to take something I was allergic to and hope that my reaction wasn't too bad, because the "alternative" was to go without antibiotics at all.
Tbf, novalin is available for 25$ for about two week's supply. It's not ideal but knowing this has saved a lot of hassle at the free clinic. It's not ideal but it can tide people over until they are able to get enrolled in medicaid and can get to a real endocrinologist.
And yet, thanks to the market, you have other options, and so does everyone else. Innovation is stifled in places where the free market is regulated. $300 insulin doesn't work only for the rich. Insulin companies GIVE AWAY insulin to those who cannot afford it. The problem with antibiotics isn't the market... it's the government interference in the market. They actually CANNOT give it to you for free, because of government regulation. They're afraid that it will create some kind of crazy superbug... which may be true... but people still suffer because of it, and the market would solve that problem anyway.
And that sounds rough, but the price of drugs and medical care is a deep routed issue that has less to do with anti-vaxxers, and more to do with our insurance system and the way medicine is regulated. Employers are encouraged, or sometimes even required to provide health insurance for their employees, either by government regulations or just economic and political pressure, and health insurance is almost a must for Americans. Therefore, pharmaceutical companies and hospitals can charge up the wazzu, because they don't operate in a free market, where customers choose the lowest price. Hospitals usually don't charge patients, they charge large insurance corporations, and so they charge a lot. It's common practice for hospitals to have different fees for insured v.s uninsured transactions. They upcharge people with insurance. There's almost no incentive to keep prices low or operations efficient. And, it's not to say that all healthcare would be exceedingly affordable if hospitals were forced to compete in a free market. America has incredibly rigourous and strict regulations on hospital operations, we have hefty requirements to become licensed, and all of this adds up to making things expensive. Not to say that it's bad persay. You want to make sure that drugs are safe, but the more testing you have to do, the more expensive it gets. The higher qualified someone has to be to get licensed, the more expensive they will be. That's why drugs are cheaper in China, they have lower standards. America has the viewpoint of absolute perfection as a bare minimum when it comes to healthcare. And it's expensive. We get ambulance rides for just about anything. We give MRIs out like candy. We have the biggest, the best, the most. Doctors are insured against malpractice suits... Etc. And it's expensive. I think that first and foremost, a legislation that everyone could get behind, would be mandated transparent pricing for all hospitals, and complete open accounting books for any hospital that receives a dime of taxpayer money or donations. You should know what things cost and why. But idk I guess
@@hunterterrell9930 I agree, even with the regulation you proposed. I'm an anarchocapitalist, so that's saying a lot. I mean, if we can't have an absolute free markets -- I don't want doctors to have to be qualified by anyone but their patients -- then that's the next best thing. You summed it up nicely friend. If anyone wants to test your claim, I urge them to walk into a doctor's office at their next appointment and ask how much an X-ray costs. Your doctor does NOT know, and neither does anyone else in the building, either.

I'm still pissed that I live in Africa where most of the crops we grow get shipped to The West who use them to feed cows which not only contribute to pollution through CO2 footprint, but also cause deforrstation for grazing ground.

The sad part is when I see people begging for money outside of an international fast food restaurant. It's just capitalism, right there in your face. Raw matrix. Inescapable.
The other thing that REALLY bothers me about anti-vaxxers: they are fundamentally stating to the world that they would rather their children be dead than autistic. It’s a declaration of conditional love. As someone on the functional end of the spectrum, I have trouble adhering to the ideology of better education for these people. When they basically state that it’s better for children to be dead than unexpectedly troublesome, it’s hard to root for them to be better.

@@michaelmoraga2926 I think that we should stop praising "critical thinking" because ignorant people take the concept and weaponize it. Climate denialists and flat earthers, for instance, think that THEY are the ones using crititcal thinking and being smart because the Scientific community have formed some sort of Church of global warming or round earth, in their view. It's not "lack of critical thinking", it's just ignorance over how science and the scientists work.
@@randomthings1293 I appreciate your point, but if someone cannot think critically (and unable to question their own assumptions), they cannot understand The How of something they are unfamiliar with (like science). Critical thinking is the ability to objectively analyze and evaluate an issue (to break it into its parts and understand its premises or motivations). It's not an elitist buzz word. Critical thinking is a necessary skill for independent thinking (and for a sound democracy), and a basic skill too often lost when testing and indoctrination are given priority (Hello USA). A well-rounded curriculum will include both humanities and science in order to promote this vital skill. 'Ignorant people' will weaponize anything they are threatened by, so avoiding something because they do not understand it is problematic (I think you may be talking political rhetoric, more than educational goals; apples & oranges). Full disclosure: I've taught reading/writing for 25 years in multiple cultures; literacy and university. Writing is thinking. I appreciate this exchange of ideas. Peace!
Wait, why have I always known Jenny McCarthy was involved with the Anti-Vax movement (in fact it's pretty much all I know about her) but I'm just now learning that Jim Carey was right there beside her the whole time? Did I just miss that obliviously or has this just not been pinned to him as nearly heavily as it has to her?
Jim Carey kept a pretty low profile for a long time, and people remember liking his movies, so the fact that he was a known figure but not loud made him less of a target. McCarthy expressly puts herself into public about it so it's easy for her to be a target. Women selling weird medical/health junk sometimes get lambasted harder than comparable men, but in this case there's a clear reason.
Because McCarthy was the leader of the movement. Carrey was just her boyfriend at the time. I bet you can't name a single boyfriend of the BLM leader, can you?

Nobody is killing children. They aren't being "vaccinated" since they're not at risk of contracting the overhyped flu called coronavirus. Polio caused many adverse side effects including neurological damage and cancer that emerged decades later.

I have no patience for these idiots getting jabbed with untested drugs that are a giant experiment involving a bioweapon that will destroy your immune system.

Were they expecting him to live through the explosion and then find the note afterwards?

I saw Drew Gooden’s review of Magic Spoon yesterday. Feeling a bit conflicted over channels I like pimping crap products. On one hand, I enjoy the content for free. Creators have every right to make money however they chose. On the other hand, I think it can hurt credibility (especially for channels where credibility is absolutely necessary) when said creator pushes overpriced, overhyped products to make a buck. The only time I find this completely inappropriate is when channels targeted towards kids do this. Otherwise I go back and forth on the ethics of sponsorships ( mainly when the product is just hyped junk)

What is it that makes it stronger nowadays? Is there anything we can do to stop it? And there we have it, a video that examinates both sides and says what is it that is wrong about the one and the other. Thank you Michael!
It's certainly a difficult topic. I must admit I find anti-vaxxers a bit frustrating to say the least. I just wish there was a direct way of dealing with them. I want to help them and stop them hurting others but I feel so powerless if I don't confront them.
@@georgesears2916 It's kind of that thing where an open dialogue could be the best possible way to make this happen, but unfortunately none of the sides want to have this neutral conversation or are just unwilling to listen, so it makes it way worse than it should be :P.
Let me start off with I'm not an antivaxxer. Don't ever call me that because you're not liars. Don't become one either. This is a question about freedom and if we should still have it or not. If health is now more important than it. I say it is not. People are free to not take a vaccine. I have taken the most important ones in my area and if someone else has not, that's not my responsibility. Just as it is not anyone's responsibility for me to take a new one but me. I own my body not anyone else. And if I don't trust a vaccine, it should, nay, MUST be my choice to take it because once that freedom goes I may as well put the chains on myself. I don't agree with most antivax rhetoric. But on the new one, I urge you not to be too trusting. Ask questions. And ask the right ones. Where is the photograph of the virus? Where are the signed laws that state that I forfeit my rights as a human being? Where are the test documents of said virus? Why are the regulations now suddenly upended whereas for the measles the dude lost every case until it was proven to exist? Ask questions. And if you don't get answers, get suspicious. That's why most people NOW don't trust this new vaccine. And for reference lookup Tiffany Pontes Dover. She supposedly dies 2 days after receiving the vaccine. There is way more out there but you have to be open to it. Truth will find a way but only if you let it. No more fear people. Love and peace.
@@dragon67849 I think you can certainly ask questions. The difference between an average person and an anti-vaxxer is that the average person usually has 3 to 5 questions about the vaccine, whereas the anti-vaxxer has 30 to 50 questions, most of which cannot be answered because the question's premise is all wrong. I don't care what drives a person's scepticism towards vaccines, what matters to me is if they take the vaccine by the end of the day. If you ask 1000 questions but choose to take the vaccine anyways then you're a vaxxer, but if you choose not to take the vaccine because of (insert reason here), then you're an antivaxxer. Antivaxxers don't get why we hate them. They think we hate them because they are asking so many questions. In fact, we hate them because antivaxxers, by definition, are people who prioritises their own safety, health, and freedom, over everybody else's, and they don't see a problem with that which baffles most people. They euphemise this sinister and toxic narcissism by calling it 'liberty' and 'freedom', when I think it is a form of dominion and subjugation.
America is a country that strongly supports being independent, and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. Trusting other people and doing things to help other is the antithesis of American Individualism.
But if they were truly about individualism, then they shouldn't rely on others for anything. Like why not grow their own food or make their own furniture instead of going to a store.
I don’t think it’s about trusting the government. If you don’t trust the government, and the government is telling you that murdering is bad, you wouldn’t go murdering everyone you see, just to prove that you don’t trust the government.

@@thierryhenry674 I think there is also the checkered past of the pharmaceutical companies making the vaccines and the fact they have no liability for a supposedly safe vaccine. People are also under the impression that vaccines are “free”. This is not true your tax money is being spent on it. Pfizer stands to make 33.5 billion this year alone off the vaccine. Moderna has made 19.2 billion and that’s a company that’s only been around for 11 years and has never made a successful vaccine. I’m not saying don’t get vaccinated. People not questioning the government and pharmaceutical companies are the ignorant ones. Why is it so taboo to talk about the science behind the vaccine is there no room for improvement? Even the sitting president said don’t get vaccinated before he was in office! Crazy times we live in stay safe.
@@thierryhenry674 sorry but why should I "believe in science"? Most times that a great scientist has made a discovery, the majority of other scientists were either ignorant of it or outright refused to accept it. There was one scientist whose name I would have to look up who discovered that a certain strain of bacteria causes stomach ulcers. NO ONE else believed him. So he had to literally drink the bacteria to prove that it causes ulcers... By giving himself stomach ulcers! Science is not a democracy and it's certainly not something to "believe" in like you would believe in some kind of deity. It's something to be skeptical of and rigorously investigate. You must constantly search through all the dilettantes and corrupt sycophants of the dolers out of money and grants, to find the rare geniuses who actually fucking matter. Everyone believed the earth was flat until one man proved them wrong. Everyone believed the sun revolved around the earth until one man proved them wrong. Everyone thought that thalidomide was safe and effective before the minority proved that it caused babies to be born with tiny malformed limbs. It was on the market for like 4 years and injured like millions of fetuses across the world before it was finally confirmed to be dangerous. If your newest thalidomide is so fucking safe and effective, how about you just leave everyone who doesn't want it yet alone? I personally am not taking any new cutting edge medication until I see at least the TEN year outlook for the people it was first tested on. Aka, YOU.

“If you believe that we can trust pharmaceutical companies to inject people only with drugs and toxins that are good for them, then you are neither a historian nor a critical thinker. There is a reason these companies demanded legal immunity from lawsuits - their products are inherently dangerous. And government officials are also immune from lawsuits. So the system inherently lacks accountability, regardless of one’s position on vaccination. Sadly, the political system is ironically dismissing the scientific method to promote a one-size-fits-all experimental pharmacy for the American people. Even vaccine-enthusiasts must admit that mandatory vaccination policies eliminate the continued availability of a control sample - a group of healthy and natural people - who check and balance their assumptions about the science of immunity.” Greg Glaser, JD

I am currently in med school in Europe, and the idea of "shared decision-making", i.e. enabling the patient to make an informed decision, is really hammered into students' minds. However, in the public discussion we had doctors speak out against people being able to choose their vaccine, and also providing them with information, as that would only "confuse" them. And when people reacted with scepticism towards the vaccine, some politicians brought into play the idea of mandatory vaccines for certain jobs. It's like we don't learn form mistakes and just perpetuate what brought us here.
Just to play devils advocate... "I better inject mercury, formaldehyde, fetal tissue, and dead kidney cells from a monkey directly into my bloodstream, because, you know.... polio."
It comes down to distrust of professionals and government and where one gets their information from. Simple as that. The distrust is fully justified if you look at the history of governmental/professional abuse. The concern ends up being where people get their information of and who one chooses to trust as purveyors of truth

The problem with people turning to alternatives, many unproven, is in large part the fault of the culture of medicine itself. Especially in relation to how women are treated. Typical experience: dismissiveness, minimization, not listening to your concerns, rushing you out the door without providing any solutions, comments along the lines of 'you're just stressed' or 'anxious' while ignoring the concerns. Medicine is one of the most patriarchical and narcissistic professions out there. If medicine is to become an institution people trust again, it needs to start with listening to the concerns of patients and in particular, start treating women better. Make women's health a priority. They can take some serious cues from how the average naturopath consults with their patient.
Welcome to the human race. We are emotional creatures, not logical ones. We evolved to succumb to peer pressure from our in group, because we depended on our in group for our survival.

Also one of the major proponents of inoculations in England was Lady Montagu who learned of the practice during her husband’s stint as an ambassador in the Ottoman Empire. Her positive reception (since she herself was scarred by it) helped with acceptance in the aristocracy.
Did they teach the difference between inoculation and transfection? Is it ok to adapt a trusted wording to increase acceptance of an experimental genetic immunization? People didn't wanna eat GMO.. Now they become GMOs themselves - and they believe it's just a harmless inoculation!
@@ScienceMessiah What are you talking of GMOs you tool? First off, not all Covid vaccines are mRNA vaccines. Second, mRNA does not changes DNA. It doesn´t even get into the cell nucleus.
@@ScienceMessiah you are the genius that should look it up. Reverse transcription is dependent on an enzyme PRODUCED BY A FEW VIRUSES. Humans don't have such enzyme. Thus there is no way to transform the RNA from those vaccines into DNA and insert in our genome. Even after billions of vaccinations, with trillions of cells in each individual, the chances are not zero, the chances of such thing being harmful is near zero. After all, as YOU SHOULD KNOW, reverse transcription IS a mechanism used by certain viruses... it has happened for billions of years. And most probably all of us have had viruses doing just that and adding junk DNA in much greater quantities than possible by mRNA vaccines considering our lack of the enzyme. Are you a privatdozen in WHAT discipline? Homeopathy? Crystals? Chromatic therapy?
As an open "anti-vaxxer", I came into this expecting a nonsense rant conflating vaccine scepticism with a rejection of science as a whole, comparing us to flat earthers. But this was a surprisingly balanced take
You couldn't try to have some kind of conversation with an actual person who is vaccine-hesitant or something? By any pre-2021 definition, these are not vaccines. They had to change the definition, just for these injections. These vaccines do not confer immunity or prevent transmission. What beneficial effect they do have wears off, we don’t know when. They probably don’t protect against new variants or mutations. The vaccines have unknown longterm side effects.
@@odinsrensen7460 Do I want to possibly stay alive, or possibly have a longterm side effect. Yes. I mean... no. I mean... Well, I guess the choice is mine. ^_^

The fifth point made in this essay seems the most important one to me. It revolves around what's called "Self-defeating prophecy". From Wikipedia: Epidemics with grim projections also encourage changes that can prevent those projections from coming true and in turn lead to people questioning these changes because the projections did not come true. For our discussion it means that the prevention of diseases via herd immunity has lowered the risk of suffering from the disease to the level where side effects of getting the vaccine are equally likely. It's a fragile balance between self interest and the welfare of all.
I worked at gas station when it was getting bad about masks. The amount of people who screamed at me, tried to fight me, tell me that “I’m lucky they’re Christians otherwise they’d shot me”, had to have the police make them leave because they’re stalking the store, cry about how “THIS IS JUST LIKE CHINA” tell me that I’m racist for making black peoples wear masks, people tell me I’m racist for making white people wear masks, I’m a Communist, they’re going to “boycott the store because we should be helping each other out”, and every other thing that’s stereotypically MS. My favorites were the spoiled brats that who said “nope. I’ve got asthma. I don’t have to do anything! You can’t make me! What you’re saying if I was black or in a wheelchair you wouldn’t serve me! You’re a racist”! It was also funny how they would record us and say “I’m being discriminated against” then I’d say “let the little girl have a tantrum” then they’d record themselves threatening to kill me and thought that wouldn’t be a problem. I did let people come in out without masks, and our store got fined. They said if it happened again then whoever let them in was going to have to pay the fine, and lose their job, and insurance. When I told people that they said “So what?! I didn’t make you do it! You’ve gotta take responsibility for helping me out!” I lost my shit! “Hey we’re all supposed to stick together!” immediately followed by “hey every man for himself”. I told people “sure I’ll let you come in without a mask! But you have to promise you’ll pay the fine, and let me use your insurance when I lose mine after I’m fired.” YOU’RE A GOD DAMN COMMUNIST! Why should I pay for something YOU did? Why is everything against ME! So yea. I’ve lost total respect for the country, my state, my people, the conservative ideals I was told to have, and basic honesty/decency.

I'm pretty sure the willingness of Americans to get vaccinated in the 40s wasn't just WW2 patriotism- The average American in that era had seen polio and TB first-hand, and was fairly likely to have family, neighbours, people they knew personally, who'd had a kid die from the preventable diseases that we vaccinate against.
In a way, the modern anti-vax movement is a result of vaccination program's success- 99% of anti-vaxxers are people from developed nations, under 50, who've grown up, never seeing any harm done by vaccine-preventable illnesses like measles, mumps, TB, polio etc... BECAUSE vaccines have meant these illnesses are either non-existent, or so rare (in the first world, at least) that most people have never encountered them.
But the average adult in the 1940s had grown up in a very different world...
Well put. Couldn't agree more.
Yup. My mom and grandma have said this for years. If you saw small pox or polio, you'd never deny vaccines. A child dying of whooping cough is horrid according to grandma and her mother.

The drastic reduction of polio was proven by multiple studies (including from several ivy league medical universities) to have been helped more by wastewater treatment & sanitation practices than the "vaccine." The first practical "vaccine" was exposing people to cow pox triggering an immune building response that kept them from later dying of smallpox.

Another issue with the idea of "your choice on which 300$ insulin to buy" is that this ONLY works for the rich. The poor, like me, often only have one option anyway, either because outreach programs can only afford the cheapest option, or because I can only afford the cheapest option. Take antibiotics, I have an allergy to both ammox and sulfa drugs... so doctors are wary of giving me amoxicillin's little sister: penicillin. However the other antibiotics are prohibitively expensive. This means that despite me having the "choice" of antibiotics with few or no side effects, I've actually had to take something I was allergic to and hope that my reaction wasn't too bad, because the "alternative" was to go without antibiotics at all.
Gotta love America's healthcare for profit system.
Tbf, novalin is available for 25$ for about two week's supply. It's not ideal but knowing this has saved a lot of hassle at the free clinic. It's not ideal but it can tide people over until they are able to get enrolled in medicaid and can get to a real endocrinologist.
And yet, thanks to the market, you have other options, and so does everyone else. Innovation is stifled in places where the free market is regulated. $300 insulin doesn't work only for the rich. Insulin companies GIVE AWAY insulin to those who cannot afford it. The problem with antibiotics isn't the market... it's the government interference in the market. They actually CANNOT give it to you for free, because of government regulation. They're afraid that it will create some kind of crazy superbug... which may be true... but people still suffer because of it, and the market would solve that problem anyway.
And that sounds rough, but the price of drugs and medical care is a deep routed issue that has less to do with anti-vaxxers, and more to do with our insurance system and the way medicine is regulated. Employers are encouraged, or sometimes even required to provide health insurance for their employees, either by government regulations or just economic and political pressure, and health insurance is almost a must for Americans. Therefore, pharmaceutical companies and hospitals can charge up the wazzu, because they don't operate in a free market, where customers choose the lowest price. Hospitals usually don't charge patients, they charge large insurance corporations, and so they charge a lot. It's common practice for hospitals to have different fees for insured v.s uninsured transactions. They upcharge people with insurance. There's almost no incentive to keep prices low or operations efficient. And, it's not to say that all healthcare would be exceedingly affordable if hospitals were forced to compete in a free market. America has incredibly rigourous and strict regulations on hospital operations, we have hefty requirements to become licensed, and all of this adds up to making things expensive. Not to say that it's bad persay. You want to make sure that drugs are safe, but the more testing you have to do, the more expensive it gets. The higher qualified someone has to be to get licensed, the more expensive they will be. That's why drugs are cheaper in China, they have lower standards. America has the viewpoint of absolute perfection as a bare minimum when it comes to healthcare. And it's expensive. We get ambulance rides for just about anything. We give MRIs out like candy. We have the biggest, the best, the most. Doctors are insured against malpractice suits... Etc. And it's expensive. I think that first and foremost, a legislation that everyone could get behind, would be mandated transparent pricing for all hospitals, and complete open accounting books for any hospital that receives a dime of taxpayer money or donations. You should know what things cost and why. But idk I guess
@@hunterterrell9930 I agree, even with the regulation you proposed. I'm an anarchocapitalist, so that's saying a lot.

It's not an elitist buzz word. Critical thinking is a necessary skill for independent thinking (and for a sound democracy), and a basic skill too often lost when testing and indoctrination are given priority (Hello USA). A well-rounded curriculum will include both humanities and science in order to promote this vital skill.
'Ignorant people' will weaponize anything they are threatened by, so avoiding something because they do not understand it is problematic (I think you may be talking political rhetoric, more than educational goals; apples & oranges).

Does it matter? No. Get vaccinated for what you think should be vaccinated for and live your life.

Remarks like what?
Jim Carey kept a pretty low profile for a long time, and people remember liking his movies, so the fact that he was a known figure but not loud made him less of a target. McCarthy expressly puts herself into public about it so it's easy for her to be a target. Women selling weird medical/health junk sometimes get lambasted harder than comparable men, but in this case there's a clear reason.
Because McCarthy was the leader of the movement. Carrey was just her boyfriend at the time. I bet you can't name a single boyfriend of the BLM leader, can you?

@@TheBrickMasterB That isn't true in the slightest. The average amount of alcohol drunk hasn't changed much in the US according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. In fact, the amount of pure alcohol ingested on average currently at 2.35 gallons is actually a mere two tenths of a gallon away what was recorded pre prohibition at around 2.56 gallons of pure alcohol from all sources annually.

I saw Drew Gooden’s review of Magic Spoon yesterday. Feeling a bit conflicted over channels I like pimping crap products. On one hand, I enjoy the content for free. Creators have every right to make money however they chose. On the other hand, I think it can hurt credibility (especially for channels where credibility is absolutely necessary) when said creator pushes overpriced, overhyped products to make a buck. The only time I find this completely inappropriate is when channels targeted towards kids do this. Otherwise I go back and forth on the ethics of sponsorships ( mainly when the product is just hyped junk)
Just because Drew Gooden thinks its garbage doesn't mean it is.

I guess this is the first time I've seen someone properly adress this issue on this website. It's not just about spitting out "anti-vaxxers are idiots" on the table. What caused their unease? What is it that makes it stronger nowadays? Is there anything we can do to stop it? And there we have it, a video that examinates both sides and says what is it that is wrong about the one and the other. Thank you Michael!
It's certainly a difficult topic. I must admit I find anti-vaxxers a bit frustrating to say the least. I just wish there was a direct way of dealing with them. I want to help them and stop them hurting others but I feel so powerless if I don't confront them.
@@georgesears2916 It's kind of that thing where an open dialogue could be the best possible way to make this happen, but unfortunately none of the sides want to have this neutral conversation or are just unwilling to listen, so it makes it way worse than it should be :P.
@@georgesears2916 try the book Anti-vaxxers: How to Challenge a Misinformed Movement by Jonathan M Berman. It's made conversations so much easier.
Let me start off with I'm not an antivaxxer. Don't ever call me that because you're not liars. Don't become one either.
This is a question about freedom and if we should still have it or not. If health is now more important than it. I say it is not. People are free to not take a vaccine. I have taken the most important ones in my area and if someone else has not, that's not my responsibility. Just as it is not anyone's responsibility for me to take a new one but me. I own my body not anyone else. And if I don't trust a vaccine, it should, nay, MUST be my choice to take it because once that freedom goes I may as well put the chains on myself. I don't agree with most antivax rhetoric. But on the new one, I urge you not to be too trusting. Ask questions. And ask the right ones. Where is the photograph of the virus? Where are the signed laws that state that I forfeit my rights as a human being? Where are the test documents of said virus? Why are the regulations now suddenly upended whereas for the measles the dude lost every case until it was proven to exist? Ask questions. And if you don't get answers, get suspicious. That's why most people NOW don't trust this new vaccine.
And for reference lookup Tiffany Pontes Dover. She supposedly dies 2 days after receiving the vaccine. There is way more out there but you have to be open to it. Truth will find a way but only if you let it. No more fear people. Love and peace.
@@dragon67849 I think you can certainly ask questions.
The difference between an average person and an anti-vaxxer is that the average person usually has 3 to 5 questions about the vaccine, whereas the anti-vaxxer has 30 to 50 questions, most of which cannot be answered because the question's premise is all wrong.
I don't care what drives a person's scepticism towards vaccines, what matters to me is if they take the vaccine by the end of the day. If you ask 1000 questions but choose to take the vaccine anyways then you're a vaxxer, but if you choose not to take the vaccine because of (insert reason here), then you're an antivaxxer.
Antivaxxers don't get why we hate them. They think we hate them because they are asking so many questions. In fact, we hate them because antivaxxers, by definition, are people who prioritises their own safety, health, and freedom, over everybody else's, and they don't see a problem with that which baffles most people. They euphemise this sinister and toxic narcissism by calling it 'liberty' and 'freedom', when I think it is a form of dominion and subjugation.
America is a country that strongly supports being independent, and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. Trusting other people and doing things to help other is the antithesis of American Individualism.
Absolutely
It comes from a fear of the government which this country was founded on
Yeah Americans don’t seem to give a shit about their fellow citizen, which will be destructive to us in the long run
Some of that is admirable, but when something like disease hits maybe you need a re think.
But if they were truly about individualism, then they shouldn't rely on others for anything. Like why not grow their own food or make their own furniture instead of going to a store.
As always the question is "Does one trust their government?"
I don’t think it’s about trusting the government.
If you don’t trust the government, and the government is telling you that murdering is bad, you wouldn’t go murdering everyone you see, just to prove that you don’t trust the government.

@@thierryhenry674 I think there is also the checkered past of the pharmaceutical companies making the vaccines and the fact they have no liability for a supposedly safe vaccine.

Moderna has made 19.2 billion and that’s a company that’s only been around for 11 years and has never made a successful vaccine. I’m not saying don’t get vaccinated. People not questioning the government and pharmaceutical companies are the ignorant ones. Why is it so taboo to talk about the science behind the vaccine is there no room for improvement?

So he had to literally drink the bacteria to prove that it causes ulcers... By giving himself stomach ulcers! Science is not a democracy and it's certainly not something to "believe" in like you would believe in some kind of deity. It's something to be skeptical of and rigorously investigate. You must constantly search through all the dilettantes and corrupt sycophants of the dolers out of money and grants, to find the rare geniuses who actually fucking matter. Everyone believed the earth was flat until one man proved them wrong. Everyone believed the sun revolved around the earth until one man proved them wrong. Everyone thought that thalidomide was safe and effective before the minority proved that it caused babies to be born with tiny malformed limbs.

“If you believe that we can trust pharmaceutical companies to inject people only with drugs and toxins that are good for them, then you are neither a historian nor a critical thinker. There is a reason these companies demanded legal immunity from lawsuits - their products are inherently dangerous. And government officials are also immune from lawsuits. So the system inherently lacks accountability, regardless of one’s position on vaccination. Sadly, the political system is ironically dismissing the scientific method to promote a one-size-fits-all experimental pharmacy for the American people. Even vaccine-enthusiasts must admit that mandatory vaccination policies eliminate the continued availability of a control sample - a group of healthy and natural people - who check and balance their assumptions about the science of immunity.” Greg Glaser, JD

I am currently in med school in Europe, and the idea of "shared decision-making", i.e. enabling the patient to make an informed decision, is really hammered into students' minds. However, in the public discussion we had doctors speak out against people being able to choose their vaccine, and also providing them with information, as that would only "confuse" them. And when people reacted with scepticism towards the vaccine, some politicians brought into play the idea of mandatory vaccines for certain jobs.
It's like we don't learn form mistakes and just perpetuate what brought us here.

The problem with people turning to alternatives, many unproven, is in large part the fault of the culture of medicine itself. Especially in relation to how women are treated. Typical experience: dismissiveness, minimization, not listening to your concerns, rushing you out the door without providing any solutions, comments along the lines of 'you're just stressed' or 'anxious' while ignoring the concerns. Medicine is one of the most patriarchical and narcissistic professions out there. If medicine is to become an institution people trust again, it needs to start with listening to the concerns of patients and in particular, start treating women better. Make women's health a priority. They can take some serious cues from how the average naturopath consults with their patient.
Welcome to the human race. We are emotional creatures, not logical ones. We evolved to succumb to peer pressure from our in group, because we depended on our in group for our survival.

@@dallascarpenter5168 Well you kinda can. Vaccines are absolutely necessary in an urbanised society and not using them is murderous, while GMO are optional, and while safe for consumption, their total long-term economic effect is difficult to assess due to monoculture risks and the like.

The fifth point made in this essay seems the most important one to me. It revolves around what's called "Self-defeating prophecy". From Wikipedia: Epidemics with grim projections also encourage changes that can prevent those projections from coming true and in turn lead to people questioning these changes because the projections did not come true. For our discussion it means that the prevention of diseases via herd immunity has lowered the risk of suffering from the disease to the level where side effects of getting the vaccine are equally likely. It's a fragile balance between self interest and the welfare of all.

It was also funny how they would record us and say “I’m being discriminated against” then I’d say “let the little girl have a tantrum” then they’d record themselves threatening to kill me and thought that wouldn’t be a problem.
I did let people come in out without masks, and our store got fined. They said if it happened again then whoever let them in was going to have to pay the fine, and lose their job, and insurance. When I told people that they said “So what?! I didn’t make you do it! You’ve gotta take responsibility for helping me out!”
I lost my shit! “Hey we’re all supposed to stick together!” immediately followed by “hey every man for himself”. I told people “sure I’ll let you come in without a mask! But you have to promise you’ll pay the fine, and let me use your insurance when I lose mine after I’m fired.”
YOU’RE A GOD DAMN COMMUNIST! Why should I pay for something YOU did? Why is everything against ME!
So yea. I’ve lost total respect for the country, my state, my people, the conservative ideals I was told to have, and basic honesty/decency. It’s heartbreaking when you realize everything you’ve been told to believe is a lie. You realize the “foundation” you built your home under is sand. The builder knew it was sand, knew you wouldn’t check, and knew you’d find out but didn’t care.
@@mistersippi2945 The ultimate result of 'every man for himself' is stone-age living standards. Every important thing in life is the result of communal effort, from the two people needed to make a baby, to enterprises, to science, to law and order, and to the existence of countries.
@@juanausensi499 oh I agree. In fact that’s what I thought everyone else thought too. I never turned down someone who needed my help on a project, even if it was hard, because we were told that a real community does things like that.
It wasn’t until the last let’s say 6-7 years of my life I’ve learned that I was the rube handing cash to the carny. What they REALLY meant is “I should always get what I want no matter what”. Followed by “disagree and I’ll kill you”. Followed by them telling me that I’m the one in the wrong for just not being part of the flock.
@@mistersippi2945 I think exacerbated individualism in the USA is the end result of the Cold War and the idiological conflict with communism. The effort put in make a difference maybe was too great, and things that in the rest of the world are just common sense in the USA are seen as pro-Communist.
@@juanausensi499 I definitely agree with that. I’ve worked since I was 11 years old and throughout high school and college I kept that job (office cleaning), and had a job at the mall, and football practice, and property maintenance, and family obligations because I was one of the only trustworthy responsible people in my family.
I was still told I’m “too lazy” because I was young. By people who haven’t had a job in decades and say that’s fine because “I got disability/fibromyalgia”. Someone called me a lazy Communist for helping my aunt do yard work and not expecting money. Fat slugs who I’ve worked circles around took credit for the shit I DID because they were in their 40s-50s and I was early 20s.
People who are proud to boast that they live off their parents money called me communist, while he said that anyone whose not rich is lazy. To people who’ve worked their whole lives and are far from rich. And the sick thing is the just sat there and took it! Like eunuchs they let this 24 year old lecture them about “hard work and manliness” after he said he’s never had a job!
So on top of what you said a lot of people are just dickless nobodies who want to be subservient.
I find it a bit ironic that this video is sponsored by what appears to be the 'health supplements' version of cereal. Heavily processed cereals aren't good for you, just because it contains "OG sugar" does not make it suddenly healthy.
it's just a protein, low-carb alternative to cereal. think of it as a protein bar.
I think there is room to make an entire video on women in medicine and why so many women opt for the natural option. People mock the Karen without understanding the torture medicine put her through that made her give up.

There's a reason the original hippocratic oath forbade doctors from accepting any payment whatsoever for their treatment.

It's interesting how, to all appearances, most #Vaxtards are irrationally pro-GMO. At least the "WiseCrack" that's a bit low on Wisdom but HIGH on "crack," is demonstrating some balance. #UniformityOfOpinion is actually more of a mark of brainwashing than what he's exhibiting.
I find it kinda funny all these people shitting on him for promoting a GMO free product. It's almost like people who accept the vaccine are so indoctrinated that they all have to agree with eachother on everything like mindless slaves. Fuck critical independent thinking, conform or be criticized

So basically its another story of "capitalism ruins everything and makes life worse for everyone." Awesome, love living in a world where money is more important than human lives. Very good time and place to exist.
Brilliantly well-researched vid. Fair play to you guys! The irony of being sponsored by Magic Spoon though: "GMO-free" is a definite grift, on par with homeopathy
So many things that are gluten free display gmo free as well, I cringe as I eat.... Anything edible. And now I have to switch to a gluten free diet because of Celiac's disease. Lowkey was considering buying that cereal 😭💀
I wouldn't say they're the same. GMO scepticism is mostly just pretentious whereas homeopathy regularly gets people killed.
@@TheArtistKnownAsNooblet I'm kinda starting to think that people are so anti GMOs because they think the G stands for gluten.
Gmo’s can be bad. They can be good. Round up ready soybeans and their economic impact is real bad.

Bloodletting is a legit medical practice that IS still used in America today. I have to go in for regular bloodletting to treat iron overloading.

@@Rainman270 No hemochromotosis is what I have but it's also used in the treatment of these other conditions as well; polycythemia vera, porphyria cutanea tarda, and polycythemia secondary to arterio-venous fistulae, cyanotic congenital heart disease or cor pulmonale.

High glycemic index cereals lead to inflammation and heart disease... much like vaccines. That's why the "take the shot get free Krispy Kreme" is so appropriate to those who want to destroy their health in two different ways. FYI: Post Raisin Bran has a higher glycemic index than Coka Cola.

Well he was McCarthy’s boyfriend at the time so I’m not that surprised
That should tell you there maybe there IS some merritt to it. Not in the way most push it tho
@@shadeaquaticbreeder2914 though understandable, there is no merit to ignoring science and disadvantaging your fellow citizens
@@UncleHyena right. There are serious concerns against vaxes tho I have not heard anyone talk about them. I'm not ignoring science that's why I take the position I do. If it is of nature then nature has a cure is my main reason but also we have to get a new shot for the flu every year so that makes less than no sense to me and I don't want that plus it makes it mutate so much more than it would naturally and the main thing is that for it to be effective every single person has to get it
In that Frontline episode referenced here, one of the doctors pointed out that vaccines are victims of their own success.
"GMO free" turns me off products tbh. I don't feel comfortable supporting anti-science brands and products.

Africans brought many skills with them. The transatlantic slave trade was a brain drain of the continent. All those skills were used by slaveholders to enrich themselves and their country, having the opposite result in Africa.
I had a hippy neighbor who didn't vaccinate her daughter. She got whooping cough which came back every winter, caused weeks of missed school and limited what she was able to do.

Neither did I. And thus I wasn't as disappointed as I otherwise might have been. Seems he's "half right" on many subjects, and, to "sum things up," "WiseCrack" LOW on "wisdom" yet HIGH on "crack."
LOL. I love the video putting down the anti science movement is sponsored by an anti science (anti-GMO) product placement.
hypocrisy is real
That might be because not all science is good
@@TylerWitucki - Using grains that EVOLVED to be robust in a specific environment instead of engineering grains to thrive in EVERY environment is scientific as well. Literally copy writing genetic codes of a living thing and leveraging that to squeeze farmers out of the market is SOCIOPATHIC not scientific by the way.
@@daniellove162 yes. Devil is in the details: intra-species GMOs vs inter-species.
@Zavier Botsford ... No, it's just how breeding plants works. Every strain of corn we grow in the US is a GMO, corn naturally would take much more water, yield less, and other stuff. GMOs are great when it's properly used, but if taken too far it can be problematic for ecosystems and us.
Just because you can not understand scientific principles It does not make them wrong ...

Makes a video about science deniers.
Sponsors a "GMO free" cereal.
Science has stated multiple times that GMO is safe. So much for supporting science !
The real problem with GMOs is actually not linked to health. The biggest issue is big corporations having the patents of GMO seeds and forcing farmers to buy seeds each year instead of growing their own crops

So not only the discredited doctor is responsible but so does the lawyer that paid him to write the article. They should be send to trail and send to solitary confinement.
"No GMO" and this expert is telling us about medical myths and vaccines
Hearing that some prominent anti-vaxers have died, has left me disappointed it didn't happen in the space of a week, or less. That would save quite a bit of money, while helpfully scimming the human gene pool.
Also a number of pro vaxxers have died

While I'm certain you're right, I'd be willing to wager my last penny, that the ratio of DIMWITS (antivaxers) vs Reasonable & Mature (vaccinated) would be 60+ to 1. Take care, selfish knucklehead 🤨.
