from this:
Haliax1d

4th year med student reporting in.
Had a rotation with a pediatrician where we ended up in the classic encounter with an anti-vaccination parent.

This lady was a conspiracy theory magnet. She casually mentioned everything from 9/11 to chemtrails. Of course she loved the idea of the vaccine conspiracy as well, opting to not protect her one year old to stick it to big pharma.
I relayed all of this to my attending after my exam (I would see the patient first, gather history and do my exam to present to my attending physician). He got this sort of lazy smirk on his face that screamed "watch this".

We go back into the exam room and we cover all of the important bits of a well-child encounter. Growth charts, behavioral milestones, nutrition, sleep...
And then we get to vaccines. She lists approximately 15 reasons why vaccines are more dangerous than the disease they protect against (lol) in addition to the various evils of the pharmaceutical industry.

My attending listens quietly until she's done with her soapbox (about one eternity later), and then interjects with:
"Have you considered the possibility that anti-vaccine propaganda could be an attempt by the Russians or the Chinese to weaken the health of the United States population?"

In a moment of catastrophic cognitive dissonance, I swear I heard a strange popping noise as her brain misfired. It actually broke her. The allure of the increasingly ridiculous conspiracy theory was just too strong.

She ended up agreeing to a modified vaccine schedule. I was flabbergasted. My attending just grinned at me in response. To this day I'm not sure the medical ethics of the situation are totally palatable, but goddamn the result was amazing.

If I say, "ketchup is the worst," that's just an opinion.

If I say, "people who like ketchup are idiots," that's bullying.

If I say, "because I don't like ketchup, no one should be allowed to have it," that's oppression.

If I say, "people who eat ketchup are dangerous and must be controlled," that's racism, bigotry, or fascism.

If I say, "anyone who defends ketchup should be silenced or locked up," that's the destruction of free speech and democracy.

October 11, 1975. SNL premieres on NBC. I always say you can tell a person's age by which cast they grew up with! So I'm curious, do you have a favorite character from over the years? For me it will always be Rosanna Rosannadanna!

I remember when I was on Xitter and when Paxton was charged with all his crimes, he was mad at Abbott and he said" I threw away 2.5 million mail-in ballots for Abbott and this is what I get." No one but a very few mentioned it and NOTHING was ever done. They cheat and get away with it every time.
