Overall, the vast majority of people take birth control pills for contraceptive reasons, not medical ones.

Wrong. All over-the-counter medication can cause at most is liver damage. Your liver can regenerate itself and chances of you actually dying of liver failure or overdoses are minuscule.

If you’re so fucking educated about the subject, then why do you need me to tell you?

Using a condom wrong can’t kill you.

If a person is taking birth control pills for a medical issue, then why do they have an issue going to the doctor?

It’s not changing the subject to point out that you don’t discredit people for their lack of credentials, if those people happen to be celebrities.

Actually, yes it is your job to know at least one if you’re the one disagreeing with me when I am saying that celebrity credentials don’t count.

Instead of pretending like I’m the one who has an issue with credentials, how about you name the relevant credentials/work experience of any celebrity movie star who has testified before congress, led a rally or went around as a political surrogate for their chosen candidate.

No, I’m not underscoring your point. I’m doing the exact opposite of that.

No one questions any of their educational background or working background before proclaiming their opinion important and worthy of being listened to. Moreover, plenty of celebrities testify in Congress as “experts” on any number of topics they have no work experience in.

Then why the fuck are you in a mommy group if you’re not interested in hearing their advice?

There is a difference between apathy and hatred/bigotry.

They have as much value as the opinion of Katy Perry, Meryl Streep and any number of celebrities that decide to be politically woke once election season comes around and there’s money to be made from endorsing whatever candidate is deemed cool.

Fuck off with your Asimov quotes, asshole.

Great, then institute an intelligence/knowledge test before letting people vote.

What ailment or problem are journalists and experts licensed to address, exactly?

Yes, they were picked for their opinions. Just like celebrities are picked to be surrogates and promote politicians.

First of all, the media isn’t going around in a tizzy lending credence to unsubstantiated anti-vaxx claims like they’re true by devoting substantial air time to them. Jenny McCarthy and her ilk haven’t been on any cable shows flogging their bullshit in a long while.

You have nothing to say to me except to insult me and then you wonder why I dismiss your comment.

Any news source that cites evidence and named sources.
