They obviously don't understand everything is made of chemicals. List the ingredients to an apple and they'll say its poison

watch out for dihydrogen monoxide, it's in everything and causes a condition known as hyponatremia, quick tell all your facebook friends!

I’ve seen anti-vax people at work, prattle on about chemicals. They buy three packs of Marlboro.

Vaccines have dihydrogen monoxide in them, too. Dangerous stuff, can be deadly in minutes at a high enough dosage!

Tell us, o ignorant half-assed twat without any real medical experience, what is a "nuritoxin"? That word appears not to exist, unlike you.

It's how you type "neurotoxin" once you've absorbed too many of them.

My sister is a nurse and tried to talk me out of getting vaccinated. Because she didn't know why I would "inject that poison into my body".

Is she a Registered Nurse, or a Licensed Vocational Nurse?

She's an idiot. Also, I don't know, but assuming registered nurse.

*neurotoxin. and no it's not. I mean in huge amounts yeah, but the amount in your deoderant isn't.

Literally none of those are in the vaccine tho.

My dad’s biggest concern about vaccines is the mercury-I’ve sent him all the stats but he’s still so concerned. He got the COVID vaccine tho

Like koopaya said, the compound matters. Mercury in thimerosal isn't easily absorbed by the body.

Thanks, bud. My dad is an engineer so he thinks he knows it all and doesn’t trust scientists. Lol it’s the religious influence I think?

I’ll try to explain it to him again though. It’s hard when I want to give him credit for getting this vaccine but he ought to get a flu shot
glenngriffon
also salt is made of chlorine and sodium. chlorine is highly toxic and sodium explodes on contact with water. you are about 70% water. /
glenngriffon
ergo you must stop eating salt forever or you are going to explode one day!

Also, antifreeze is Ethylene Glycol. It is what antivaxxers drank as children that turned them into antivaxxers.
Sakkura
Ethylene glycol is not the only antifreeze. Propylene glycol is also used, and is less toxic. Even glycerol can be used, and that's edible.
BooksBooksBooksBooksBooks
Won't it give you the sharts if you eat it plain, though?
LittlestG
Although, antifreeze-grade glycerol is usually at about 70% concentration and edible glycerol is around 99%. The extra 30% of solvent =toxic

As a scientist, listing of chemicals are completely useless without also listing the dose. Like saying a jump from any height will kill you.

"The dosage makes the poison."
lurkmoarjono
that reminds me of my LD50 poster. illustrations on a deadly dose.
LightStriker
Dose, solution, salt, etc. It's like saying jumping from 10m kills... even when jumping in water.
butthurtnevergetsbetter
It's also stupid how environmental pollution puts us into contact with damaging doses of many things, but nobody cares.

As and aluminon hat wearing weirdo we should all become mole people since the sun is killing us slowly. We could live much longer.

SirRichardOfHead
As a chemist, amen, brother!
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
Linear, no-threshold extrapolation is used too often and using that logic if a 10 foot fall will kill 25% of people then a one inch fall...
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
...should kill some proportional % of people and then they work out how many people per year die from one inch falls.

Is it even remotely safe to fall 14 times in a row. Big stairs says this is normal but it isn’t
POGassultraboot
It’s not the fall that kills you. It’s the whole world being shoved up your ass.
FenrisZeroSC
To be fair, the majority of heights you can fall from will kill you.

Even the dose don't help, we're programmed to be wary/scared of unknown things.

So when we only hear of chemicals in a negative way, our monkey brain become wary of chemical sounding things.

I learned from Witcher 3 that a jump from any height will in fact kill you so now you got me questioning my perspective on vaccines.
dasklaus
People can die from falling out of their bed or from chairs or tripping over their feet, so the jump thing makes more sense than this.

Seriously, anything with enough excess will kill you. Even just drinking too much water.

This is the biology correlate of "every machine is a smoke machine if you operate it wrong enough". I approve.
ReiiamaKotsu
Yeah, it's not even that much either that can cause health issues, IIRC. It's like 1 gallon in a sitting before you're seriously at risk.
LicensedAdHominem
They are beyond useless, and not just because of that. It's the perfect place to inject fearmongering and even just make shit up, most ⤵
LicensedAdHominem
⤷ notably thimerosal. They lied about it being dangerous not just by omitting dose, but also by calling it just mercury. It got removed. ⤵
LicensedAdHominem
⤷ But they never stopped claiming vaccines have mercury anyway. Who'd have thought omnicidal, anti-intellectualist liars would do this?¿?
masiakasaurus
Sodium and chlorine are poisonous, but your body needs NaCl to live. Just listing what's present is useless.
johnnyshitknucklez
What’s even funnier, your body needs na+ and cl- to literally cause any change in fluids, literally poison that your body uses to live
NickRivieraMD
that's more analagous to when they say vaccines contain mercury because of thimerosal
morelikeconsham
Not a good analogy at all. That's not a matter of dose, that's a matter of being wildly different substances.
thensaagent
tbf, people have also pointed out the mercury in some vaccines which is, much like the chlorine in salt, in a completely safe form.
morelikeconsham
Sure, but we're not talking about that, we're talking about dose, and chlorine isn't good for you in any dose.
morelikeconsham
I honestly think he thought he was flexing for knowing what elements salt is made out of

Natural medicine uses Apple seeds as a way to treat stomach worms, works surprisingly good.

Everytime I hear about a natural medicine I ask gas any drug company patebted it or otherwise sold it? If not then it's probably hogwash.

"I ask gas any drug company patebted " WHAT?!
TacoPoweredHelicopter
At least ask if I am having a stroke.
LicensedAdHominem
You're thinking of amygdalin, yes! It metabolizes to a form of cyanide and requires you to CHEW the seeds
LaCroixJenkins
It wasn't the seeds... It was the husks in the core that contained the seeds is how I remember
bChrispy
Yeah, a handful of ground cherry seeds are enough to kill you aren't they?

The taste is so disgusting, you would rather change your life than chewing those seeds.

Didn’t GI Joe have a cartoon where they directed some monstrosity to an apple orchard so the arsenic would kill it? It’s been a LONG while.
