We accept gravity without demanding absolute certainty for every apple that falls. Yet when it comes to vaccines and autism - despite dozens of studies, millions of participants, and decades of consistent evidence showing NO causal link - some still say 'but you can't be 100% sure.'
Science doesn't deal in absolute certainties, but it does reach points where the evidence is so overwhelming that moving the goalposts becomes denial, not skepticism. Just as we don't question whether the next apple might fall sideways, we have enough evidence to confidently state that vaccines don't cause autism.
The real question isn't whether we can be 100% certain (we never can be about anything). It's whether we have enough evidence to make informed decisions. And on this question, the answer is unequivocally yes.
When we demand impossible standards of proof for well-established science, we're not being cautious - we're being unreasonable. And in the case of vaccines, that unreasonableness has real consequences for public health.
Climate change is the same.
