  • I’m one of the most pro vaccine people you’ll ever meet.

    The point of the article is that, when you deny that it’s even possible that even a tiny fraction of children may have had fatal reactions to the vaccine, then you’re rolling out the red carpet for antivaxers to identify a single case of a child that possibly had a reaction, then allowing them to concoct a conspiracy theory that you’re covering up the real risks in exchange for your Big Pharma paycheck.

    Being honest about the true quantified risks allows those in positions of authority to compare it to things that are equally, or even more, risky (drink coffee, drive to work, eat a burger, etc), that people do all the time without hesitation because it’s worth the risk.

    This allows the public to understand the actual risks in a way that makes sense to them, thus allowing them to make informed decisions rather than just believing whatever crackpot with a book to sell they last heard from on the popular Crackpot of the Day Podcast (byline, “We’re just asking questions!”)
















  • report of a “person with a gun” just after 9 p.m.

    Walking around outside, in the US, at night, with something other people would easily think is a gun. At best, this guy lacks basic common sense.

    ordered to pay restitution of $386.59 to a person whose car window he broke with a pellet

    And reckless to boot.

    the individual was unaware that he lived next to, and was shooting his BB gun next to, a synagogue

    I call horseshit. We’ve got several Jewish community gathering places near us, and subtle they are not. You’d have to be completely ignorant of Judaism to not instantly recognize them for what they are. You can’t live next to one and not know it.

    and his affinities, including family ties, to the Jewish community.

    So, yeah, he knew. Not saying the guy was being antisemitic, but something sure isn’t adding up. At best he’s a fucking idiot.
