    But just because something is junk doesn’t mean we should prevent people from accessing it.

    Again, after glibly dismissing antivax conspiracy theories as unscientific under the presumption that no one credible would believe them (not that that stopped the spread and distribution of them to the general public) you’re suggestion that all of the harmful prior false science listed at the following:

    https://legacyofslavery.harvard.edu/report

    https://slaveryandjustice.brown.edu/

    https://slavery.virginia.edu/

    https://georgetown.app.box.com/s/nzo1tx4elaerg13akjwxuve3pv9sb03a

    https://news.emory.edu/features/2021/09/emory-unpacks-history-of-slavery-and-dispossession/index.html

    should get openly and freely distributed under some idealistic notion of “set it all free” while you already derided the public for buying into antivax nonsense. Your idealism can and will hurt a lot more people because you clearly are more fine with racism than antivax conspiracy theories.

      You’re very good at putting words into people’s mouths (I didn’t even mention antivax theories), and that point is where I end the conversation. Good day

        You previously said:

        Strong disagree, given the vaccine hysteria was on the part of the deniers. The science supported and continues to support the vaccines effectiveness and safety. It’s primarily people who aren’t scientists and don’t know how to interpret medical studies that are claiming that they are dangerous or ineffective.

        Nice to meet you, I’m a medical scientist that specializes in Alzheimer’s research. Absolutely none of my colleagues think vaccines are dangerous.

        If you’re going to complain about “putting words into people’s mouths” don’t be a liar on top of that.

        Good day

          Ah, yes. Good catch, I did mention that there is no scientific evidence to support any widespread negative effects of the vaccines, and there continues to not be. You’re more than able to put yourself in the running for the Nobel prize for saving millions of lives by finding and publishing this evidence, though, since it seems that you’re so confident in it.

          I did not state that “no one credible would believe them”, and your links about slavery are irrelevant because the discussion was about vaccines, not racism.

          And I didn’t lie. Literally none of my colleagues thinks there is any merit to antivax scaremongering.

            Ah, yes.

            You should have stuck with your “good day” if you have nothing left to provide but more Reddit tier smug condescension.

            And I didn’t lie.

            Yes, you did lie. The lie was that, direct quote, you “didn’t even mention antivax theories.”
