    Conspiracy can slander a lot of things. It used to be easy to slander anti-opiate pushing doctors "conspiracy theorists".

      Are you implying the anti-vax crowd relies on facts, data, and logic and not conspiracies?

        I'm implying that someone can question a "consensus" without being crazy, and can question evidence without being anti-vax. Look at Paul Offit on the more moderate end, or Vinay Prasad on the more extreme end.

            What I said was two very pro-vaccine vaccine researchers who were called conspiracy theorists for saying there may be some costs to mandating vaccination.

            Any and every intervention has a cost, even if its just the cost of paying someone to administer and produce it.
