"Brian Hooker and Neil Z. Miller, [are] two antivaccine propagandists disguising themselves as scientists."

the best rule of thumb is "the truth is in the middle some where". both sides have their dogma. dogma only increases when each side refuses anything put forth by the other side. so is the trend of the internet.

It's a terrible rule of thumb, especially because it can be deliberately manipulated. I say HN user johntfella maliciously killed 12 puppies, and i heard a lot of other people say the same thing. He claims that didn't happen. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
