Will there ever be a safe vaccine?
Cherry-picking Editors ≠ Evidence Against Vaccines Yes, the T-shirt is right: “Science doesn’t care what you believe.” And no — science isn’t only what appears in The Lancet or NEJM. But let’s stop pretending that quoting disgruntled former editors somehow proves mainstream science is broken or that vaccines are deadly. That’s a leap so big it should have a parachute. Take the often-misused quotes from Marcia Angell and Richard Horton. They’re expressing frustration with corporate influence and the publication of low-quality or biased studies — a valid concern shared by many in the scientific community. But here’s the trick: anti-vaxxers rip these quotes out of context and spin them into a false syllogism: “Some science is flawed → All science is fake → Therefore my wild theory must be true.” It doesn’t follow. If half the literature is “untrue” — you still don’t get to assume your blog post, YouTube video, or Telegram meme is in the other half. And those wild claims like “All vaccines will kill you” or “mRNA shots are proven deadly”? That’s not evidence. That’s propaganda. Repeating it louder or wrapping it in stolen credibility doesn’t make it true. The actual data — from countries all over the world, across millions of doses — shows the opposite: COVID vaccines have saved lives, massively. So no, these editor quotes are not proof of anything except that science needs to be rigorous and constantly self-correcting — which is exactly what peer review, replication, and critical analysis are for. The real danger isn’t scientific debate — it’s the distortion of it by people who want to replace evidence with ideolog -

What things bore and annoy you most?
That's awesome, that you can find happiness with middle aged women.More happiness in the world. I find them very calculating and harsh. The worst is when you get a 58 year old masseuse. I complain but they still give me the grandma. -
