I'm simply not posting links in this thread when there are such condescending viewpoints. It's not a conversation, it seems as if on your side you are just waiting to pounce. Why would I engage in that when the articles I post wouldn't even be something I completely believe in but found interesting and would be attacked by numerous posters at once for doing so. Maybe if I see some civility yeah I'll gladly start posting links but until then there's no point.

You are right, I could have been nicer about refuting it, and for that I do apologize. Its hard when you are so active in the debate like myself on social media, the sheer amount of emotion shown by those against Vaccines, the insults and of course seeing the same arguments that have been debunked used over and over has its affect on my patience at times. I can do better.
I just keep running into the same people where ever I enter this debate, one of the most frustrating things is having a person who is "just asking questions" post links to things that have been refuted over and over, then taking the time to point this out, give good links to science based evidence countering the article they posted, only to have them then move on and post something else often from the same source and have to repeat the whole process.
You just feel like, how much more evidence can you post and how much can you refute before people accept the overwhelming scientific consensus? Sadly very few people are genuinely willing to change their minds and often become more convinced of their own stance after having their links and studies debunked right before their eyes.
