When people of a marginalized identity are sharing their experiences, and you don't share that identity, it's totally okay to not jump into the conversation, but just listen or read. It's more than ok, it's the best. Please more of that instead of "well EYE experience..." this is not about you.

Anyone who is anti-vax is pro-death. Period. The science and data do not lie. And they don’t care about your podcast.
Post showing precipitous decline of share of deaths in Massachusetts from diseases for which vaccines are now available, from 70% in 1840 to low digits % by 1950-60 where it is stayed. 

Caption: There are not many places on earth where we have detailed cause-of-death data from before the era of widespread vaccination.

Massachusetts is one of those places.

From 1842-1877, 70% of all deaths were from diseases which we today have vaccines to prevent.
