from wikipedia:The misinformation around vaccines and that it's safe to not get them. As well as trusting a lack of information about that comes from the anti-vax perspective. I am still going to ask, is there evidence to back up the anti-vax side and if so, why hasn't it been presented? Why aren't there any peer-reviewed research papers to back up any of the anti-vax beliefs?
There should be evidence to back up the anti-vax stance, considering how adamant people are about it, why hasn't anyone posted a single shred of creditable evidence?
Aichmophobia (/ˌeɪkməˈfoʊbiə/) is a kind of specific phobia, the morbid fear of sharp things,[1] such as pencils, needles, knives, darts, a pointing finger, or even the sharp end of an umbrella and different sorts of protruding corners or sharp edges in furnitures and building constructions/materials.
30% of my Country's adult population suffer from that, so I believe that an individual with such condition is more likely to grab on theories that back their fear saying that vaccines are not safe, or that the individual decision of not taking the shot will not hurt others.
I'm not saying that people with Aichmophobia are automatically an anti-vaxer, I am saying just that this group is large and probably is susceptible to that kind of theory.
PS.: I know there are also a large group of people who is just far right extremist, and anti vax is in their "package" of dogmas, but I am not talking about this very group right now.
