Especially since science backs it up.

FYI, when one uses “quotation marks” around something in this context, the usual intention is that the term is not exactly what you’re saying and often is the opposite of what you mean. I fail to see how “links” are not, in fact, “links,” regardless of what you may feel “trumps” them.

I do believe there’s more to life than scientific studies and links (my children, my work, my country, my world, dreams, hopes, spirituality, books, beer and wine, traveling, hiking, writing, loving, living, dying, usw). I’m probably most honestly a worshiper at the altar of intellectual curiosity. That does not, however, involve leaps of faith that defy common sense. This laundry list of “trumps” followed up with a “holier-than-thou” statement as a sort of featherweight verbal coup d’grace is sadly exemplary of the flabby thought processes and shrieking hysteria that underlie so much of the antivax movement.

That’s what these studies do in a indirect manner, they look at the occurance of the events people claim to experience and see if they’re actually happening.

Overall, they aren’t.

It’s like claiming your personal experience of watching a pitcher throw one ball in a baseball match gives you better understanding of the league standings, than someone who reads the weekly sports supplements. Your limited experience is always going to be trumped by people who look at the broader picture – everytime

watching my two daughters injured by vaccines trumps your “links”

Knowing that other parents have experienced the same or worse trumps your “links”

Knowing the ingriedents and viruses and aborted fetuses in the vaccines trumps your “links”

Too bad your mind is so closed that you will never see what is right in front of your own face, and all in the name of being superior to the ones that do believe in a middle ground and do believe that there is more to life than scientific studies and “links”
