Calling people out on their incredibly ill-informed Facebook posts so that they delete them in shame )
Still doin it.
I used to Facebook-battle frequently, but then I realized that all that time I spent digging up sources and citations was wasted, because these idiots never read any of it. So you wanna share posts about how colloidal silver can sure cancer or how vaccines are causing the outbreaks amongst people who don't vaccinate? Have at it, just keep your disease-ridden children away from me and mine.
The trouble is mis-information does not materialize into deadly consequences quickly enough before large scale damage is done..
sigh.......................
However, the counter point to this is.. well, if it kills someone in their late 50s , early 60s, then there's an actual GAIN in total productivity.. because it's all negative from then on as retirement offsets a person's positive contributions done at their younger age..
In the end.. people dying a bit sooner is Sad and Unnecessary, but overall IS NOT harmful to the human race..
Certainly the goal is not to have or let people die unnecessarily.. but we have to be objective and describe the situation carefully for what it is..
