I didn't say that, don't put words on my mouth. I said I like to hear all sides of a story even the wrong ones.
I didnt say that you did. I was asking you a question. How do you determine that a post from your aunt who says COVID vaccine will cause cancer and a post from the AMA saying that in less than 0.1% of vaccines administered causes any sort of side affect and that in that 0.1% nearly all were related to preexisting conditions?
I am asking for your methodology because i have a feeling that like the majority of people whom put any stock into things they read on FB, it's not a very rigours process. No slight to you, most people have no background in science so having a good epistemology is not high on most people's list.
My side says that licking toads counters the side effects of the vaccine. I demand to be taken as seriously as your youtuber friend. I can even provide an excel file with numbers that I can claim proves my theory, if that'll prove it to you
