[QUOTE="tadpole, post: 4933596, member: 53369"] Critical thinking serves us well in all areas. I agree about confirmation bias. We all should strive to continually reevaluate what we believe as we are exposed to new ideas, data, etc. We can't conclude that any of the VAERS reports prove the vaccine creates injuries. We also can't conclude that every vaccine injury has been recorded on VAERS. Sounds like you used critical thinking to make a decision. Even though I came to a different conclusion, I can't fault you here. I decided to not take the vaccine based on the risk/reward. It's possible that I'm way off, and I will regret not taking the vaccine, even die because of it. I accept the ramifications of my choice. Likewise, it's also possible that someone regrets their decision to take the vaccine, and succumbs to a vaccine injury. In either case, a valid decision was made and should be respected. One thing I'd like to point out is that although the majority of scientists and doctors are supporting the vaccine, there are brilliant doctors and scientists out there who have valid concerns. We can either investigate these concerns, and learn one way or another if their concerns are legit... or we can censor them and call the doctors all quacks. Which path do you think leads to knowledge/truth? [/QUOTE]
