I happened to be looking through the comments on an anti-vaccination thread. In these threads, people never link to any legitimate scientific sources to back up their arguments. It just so happened that one woman attempted to back up her anti-vaccination beliefs by providing a link to an FDA document that she says provides "pretty incriminating evidence AGAINST vaccine safety". Stunned by seeing a link to a credible source, I decided to read this document to see if her claims were justified. Below is the exchange that took place.
I hereby declare the right to be completely and utterly wrong on any post in this blog. This blog is a tool in my quest as an undergrad student to learn all of the things about nutritional science. If I get something wrong, for the love of god point it out (politely, or you get the Ban Hammer). Happy Learning.

That Time I Got Involved In An Anti-Vaccination Comment Flame War
Normally I never get sucked into the comment flame wars on FaceBook. I usually read them for amusement and never write anything myself. The trolls got me this time.
