The self-reaffiriming believer [View all]
One of my Facebook friends posted an article showing that cervical cancer rates have increased since 2004.
The first reply was from a woman who wrote: "That's about the time that they started pushing the HPV vaccine. I've never trusted it."
So I replied: "The FDA approved Gardisil in 2006."
To which she responded: "I don't care. It's too close to be a coincidence."
By her reasoning, Gardisil is so dangerous that it started causing cancer two years before it went into use, and a statistically significant number of women have received the vaccine and developed cervical cancer in the 9 years since then.
How can you argue with such a true believer?
