I must confess, even in the vaccination debate, there are some points that are a grey area. Mostly the fact that a vaccination can go wrong. It's not that often but the possibility exists. But the moment you mention that, black-and-white thinkers will assume that this means vaccinations are ALWAYS dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. Which is not true. We should aim to make them safer, not abolish them.
That makes this kind of debate very, very exhausting. Because, if I don't want to be seen as agreeing with their whole point, I basically have to ignore this one fragment of truth.
Not easy. Absolutely not easy.
Of course, but I'm not even ignoring this fragment. Just from stating the obivous, that infections have decreased extremely after vaccination programs were induced - which is just a fact - you get loads of angry/ignorant/denying comments. How do you find a common ground with someone that has successfully constructed his/her own seperate reality?
Amen.
