"I realize that you're far too emotionally invested in this to understand that you've reached an incorrect conclusion. However, your incorrect conclusion will result in the deaths of thousands of children and the infirm, so as much sympathy as I have with your dissonance, I have to keep telling you that you're incorrect, and dangerously so."
That's what I'd do, then make popcorn and watch the head explosion. But that is because I'm a dick. So I congratulate you on not being a dick.
I wish I were more of a dick, and I wish I were less of a dick.
Theo there will always be some weird end around that has nothing to do with logic that people will bring up. I read something like - parents who got the MMR vaccine can pass autism on to their children because the MMR vaccine changes (things, cells, something I don't know some kind of handwavium) that shows up in the children. And/or it's dormant until the children receive the MMR vaccine which then triggers autism in the child.
I wish I were more of a dick, and I wish I were less of a dick.
If I didn't love my tagline so much, this would totally be my new one.
If there's such a thing as karma, I'm at a severe deficit due to much dickishness.
You're still ahead of the anti-vaxxers.
OMG THIS APPLE BUTTER NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW NOMNOMNOM.
Yipes meara, take care of yourself! No go to Pheonix!

I love Allyson! Uh, I'd say she's my kind of a dick except I don't think this is a dickish thing to say. It might, however, lead to a dickish reaction in someone else.
except I don't think this is a dickish thing to say.
Neither do I. It might be unpleasant to hear, but it's polite, it's fair, and it's true.
I have pneumonia.
Ack, meara, stay home and get better! Catch up on your television & reading.
Anti-vaxxers make me frothy with rage. They're parasites coasting on the herd immunity, and putting other families' children at risk. And now I will share the Jenny McCarthy Body Count:
