Reply to comment by lai-shxuan in A study shows that patients with the most serious health issues who thought that continuing the treatment would result in destitution only had an estimated 24% chance of continuing treatment, while those thinking paying fees would not negatively affect their financial situations had a 95% likelihood by nmhhg8
We need even the most obvious truths codified on paper and indisputable. It's a serious problem.

And yet antivaxxers still exist.

Imagine the amount of antivaxxers there would be if credible, peer reviewed scientific studies on the topic did not exist because vaccination working is 'the most obvious truth'.
On second thought, maybe don't imagine that. And stop thinking about antivaxxers, it's almost weekend ;)

I'm not anti-vax but acting like they are the worst corner of society is dumb. There are things that are far more intuitively evident that people still argue about

And I was literally replying to a five-word comment out of which the most important word was 'antivaxxers'.
Would have been a bit strange if I were to attempt naming 'the worst corner of society' simply out of nowhere, don't you think?

Any scientist will tell you, just because it's published in a peer reviewed paper, doesn't mean it's "indisputable"
If that were true, many scientists would be out of a job
Half of science is skepticism
