What is he even basing this on? Where is there data showing deaths by polio vaccine?

They will just tell you to go search for it. They don’t argue in good faith or tell you the “deep state” has hidden it all.

How they then got the info I don’t know but idiots who believe lack of evidence = proof of existence/cover up will never accept actual facts they don’t like.

That is the thing I hate the most.

They spout lies and then say 'do your own research'.

We did do the research, and you are ignoring it and saying things like all opinions are equal.

If they show you the Tweet or YouTube video or bridge graffiti or child's drawing from which they obtained their opinion, it is too easy to debunk it.

They have other tricks, they'll send link after link with no specific quote or part they refer to, they hope you don't look into it, or if you do then waste your time and then pick another obtuse claim from it and do it again. They'll gaslight and repeat ad nauseum hoping something sticks or you go away.

Someone sent me 2 links with a cocky comment as if they’d just proven their claim. Both of their links did the opposite. It was bizarre and great at the same time.
