      You pull up two threads from an anti-vax forum and think it’s even worth consideration for your argument?

      And no, I don’t think a medically-proven phenomena is a myth, but the number of occurrences is so little that you bringing it up as an argument is evidence of ragebaiting.

        Not just from there but threads that are 3 or 4 years old. You’d figure if there really was something going on with the vaccines that there would be newer information, that things would be escalating if there were issues that the vaccines would have made worse over time, especially since the majority of people got vaccinated in western countries.

        Are these deleted reddit posts supposed to be “evidence” of some kind?

        You’re not reading are you. I called that “massive volumes of anecdotes”. Those imo demand better explanation than “it’s all just massive amount of random people all over the globe deciding to gather and lie together”.

            I’m indeed not very familiar with the idea of mass psychosis, but I’m quite used to the concept of hivemind:

              WAKE UP, SHEEPLE. You think I’m joking? You think this is a meme? Fine. Keep scrolling, keep nodding, keep trusting “experts” and “studies” and “people who went to school for this exact thing.” That’s what they want. They want you docile. They want you compliant. They want you lined up, vaccinated, and bleating on command like a good little flock.

              But me? I saw the truth on a 47-minute video with ominous music and a blurry thumbnail. I did my own research. I clicked several links. I read comments from people with eagle avatars and usernames like TruthHammer77. I know what’s going on. You can’t fool me with your “science” and “evidence” and “peer review.” That’s just three syllables for “control.”

              So go ahead, laugh. Call me crazy. Call me a conspiracy theorist. But when the next big reveal drops, don’t come crying to me from inside the pen. I’ll be standing outside, staring at the moon, knowing I was right all along.

              WAKE UP, SHEEPLE. THE FARM IS REAL.

              Just because you got down voted for something, doesn’t mean the “hivemind” is out to get you. It should at the very least give you pause to question what you are saying.

              Right now you are playing the victim, but I don’t think that’s the right take in this moment. Sometimes it may be that you are a victim, but in this case it is just that you really need to reevaluate vaccines from learned and well-studied people and a research backed perspective. Take from sources not funded by people with an agenda, and definitely not from easily manipulated comments in threads that feed into your preconceived notions. Comments in the threads of popular social media are pumped full of bots and manipulation.
