I'm simply providing counter evidence to the blanket statement that "the entirety of medical academia and all of the health institutions that are wrong"

I'm reading what you wrote, and responding to it as written, I'm taking you seriously, which I hope you do for me as well.

you’d tell me I’m cherry-picking like the far-right cherrypicks climate scientists who don’t believe in man-made climate change

Now your just putting words in my mouth.

Okay, to be fair, that's what I'm hoping you would say to me in that reality. Even with animal ethics at stake in that alternate reality, I would hope you'd call me out. When I say the entire biology community believes in evolution, the entire climatology community believes in man-made climate change, and the entire medical community believes vaccines do not cause autism, that isn't a literal mathematical universal qualification; it's saying that the support is so overwhelming that any dissent is absolutely negligible and not even worth considering.

If that is your worldview on things you believe no wonder you always end up attacking me and my character.
