"This feels extraordinarily condescending"

given the comments i got yesterday that were an endless chorus of "kitty need a redpill" and "i hope one day you look at this and get clued in" etc, i don't think so.

it was a response to all the dismissive assumptive rhetoric and an attempt to get past it and onto data.

and no, the measles vaccines is not killing hundreds per year in the US.

the argument in your substack is already addressed. deaths had already declined, but cases did not. and focusing myopically on deaths vs, say, hospitalizations or cases (as measles really sucks) is not a valid methodology.

you're trying to avoid much of the issue. just because something does not kill you does not mean that it is not worth mitigating.
