> That isn't what sourcing a claim means

Absolutely is. Those are examples of serious, deadly, infectious plagues that were either eradicated or seriously contained by vaccines.

> but I don't care about smallpox, polio, measles or mumps and I'm not talking about them.

I know you don't care about evidence. You care about vibes. Vaccines are icky, governments are authoritarian, you want to live in your fairy-tale self-serving world and society be damned.

I was replying to you not under any fantasy that I would convince you otherwise. I understood pretty well from the outset what sort of rhetoric you were on about.

I replied so it was made clear for others what exactly is being discussed here.

> But if it is necessary to put up with measles

It is. I am extremely grateful that the advances in medicine in the past couple of centuries allowed me to live without having to worry about serious plagues such as measles.

Either way, you didn't disappoint me. Have a great weekend.
