How often do those who question vaccines hear, "Oh, you must have gotten that off the Internet" in a condescending way? It's almost a reflex for those within the vaccine movement when they hear information confronting their paradigm.
So I can go on the Internet and read almost any newspaper from around the world, as long as there is an English version, or go find just about any medical journal information, sometimes with an online subscription, but somehow that is not ok and it is just stuff from the Internet. I can read what doctors trained in traditional medical schools have to say but that is questionable at best because it was found on the Internet. Why would those within the movement mock the freeflow of an unlimited supply of information?
Obviously the first answer is they do not agree with the information, but it's deeper than that. Information is the key to control. Those who have access to the information possess a significant amount of control over those who do not. They can interpret as they see fit and they can chose what others can know or better yet, not know. It creates a sense of superiority. It helps to maintain the hierarchy that doctors and those who dictate vaccine program ideology like in place. We have to come to them for answers. But now we can find our own answers and walk into a doctors' office knowing more than they do on a particular subject, such as vaccines. That completely screws up the hierarchy and element of control and that angers some people hence the nasty reactions some people get from their beloved physicians when questioning the holy grail of medicine.
There are those who would love nothing more than to create an Internet II. A controlled Internet that is "officially" approved. Which obviously means approved information. The vaccine movement is under serious threat and it is a HUGE system with many tentacles. It will not go easy into that good night. It will be interesting to see what public relations tactics the movement will employ. Of course ridicule is always the best tactic but when that doesn't work it will be all about the possible threats to our health from the dangerous Internet.
Information should never create fear. People have a right to hear or read whatever they want. It's only those who have something to lose, such as their belief system, that go on the attack. We all have the information now, perhaps for the 1st time in history. What an amazing time to exist. Let's see what kind of legislation the information controllers try to push through to combat that. Let's read the articles that attack the Internet and those who learn from the University of Google with discernment and interest.
