Then you haven't been paying much attention. Using downvote as 'disagree' is and has been very much the norm around here.

Also, if one was here to push their antivaxxer propaganda (not saying they are), that's the kind of innocent question they'd start with, and yours with a fresh account (not saying you're a sockpuppet) would be the similarly innocent continuation.

I actually mentioned that I'm getting the vaccine further down the thread and I've been lurking here for years.

You are suspecting people and just adding "not saying". Which makes everything people say suspect.

I see you're not taking my comment at face value, either =). I'm simply pointing out that particular familiar pattern that GP's opening and your defence to it so perfectly matches, whether it's intentional or by accident. On a topic that tends to draw in comments with weird agenda. Which is likely what the downvoters are reacting to.
