45 Myths And Misconceptions That Some People Mistakenly Believe Are Actually True To answer the question, vaccines being anything but safe and effective is a hoax that some people believe.

Vaccines are *by far* the medical intervention best-supported by evidence. Tens of billions of vaccines given to billions of people over the course of multiple centuries have proven them to be safe and effective. If you trust *any* part of medicine, you should trust vaccines.

I would hazard a guess that vaccines have saved more lives than every other medical intervention combined.

The case of the woman who sued mcdonalds because she spilled hot coffee on herself. The hoax was that it was a frivolous lawsuit, that she was driving while drinking and she spilled the coffee on herself and just didn't like it and sued mcdonalds and won a lot of money. But the reality was that she wasn't driving, the coffee was extremely hot, people had already complained it was too hot, I don't remember how she spilled the coffee, but anyway after spilling just a bit of it on her leg, she got severe burns on her leg and had to go to the hospital and go to the ER. If she had drunk that she could have suffered much more harm. All she wanted was for mcdonalds to pay for her hospital bill, they didn't, and she sued them and won. Then either mcdonalds or it was a corporation that represented a bunch of corporations spread the hoax that some clumsy woman sued and won a lot of money because she spilled her coffee.

The "power" of homeopathic... stuff ('cause it's NOT medication) is measured in "Centesimal dilutions", or CH. Even conceding the active principles used works (they don't), at 12 CH statistically there is not a single atom of the principle in a liter of water. At 30 CH (the dilution commonly used for flu "medication") you can expect to have a single atom of active principle every 10 BILLIONS BILLIONS (10^18) liters of water. That is roughly the volume of the Indian Ocean to have ONE SINGLE ATOM of active principle.

That using a tampon can take away a females virginity. It’s crazy that people still believe that myth even though it’s been busted many years ago.

There is not enough evidence that it can take away an individuals virginity. It shouldn’t even matter if your child is a virgin or not. You should love your child no matter what.

Your child should be able to have the right to use tampons when they’re on their period. Not everyone wants to miss out from a chance of going swimming, and not everyone wants to wear a diaper everyday for 7 days straight.

That Kitty Genovese was murdered as people heard her screams and did nothing. To this day people believe in the Bystander Effect.

In fact multiple neighbors called the police. One even went to her to comfort her believing police were on the way and was driven off by the murderer coming back to finish her off.

The New York Times asked the police about it in their reporting, and without checking, believed them that they didn’t get any calls. In fact the police were covering for them badly dropping the ball. If they’d actually responded when the first call came in, Genovese could probably have been saved.

The lazy reporter later became the editor of the New York Times, having eroded a large amount of humanity’s trust in itself.

The “organic” food certification cartel. Food labeled as organic isn’t any better for you, science backs this. Modern pesticides are designed to be less harmful to the environment than older methods, and break down long before the food is to be consumed, even though you should always wash your produce. However, organic foods take more land and resources to produce, use older methods for pesticides that are MUCH worse for the environment, have more flaws, cost more, and generally don’t keep as long. Organic food is more wasteful and harmful to the environment, but their scam marketing campaigns have misled the general public.

Sorry but horeshit, do some better research, sure organic is not as easy but bloody hell this comment is ignorant. There is so mamy new studies on pesticides and herbicides in rice and fruit end vegetables. https://www.google.com/amp/s/time.com/5234787/dirty-dozen-pesticides/%3famp=true "The USDA also does not test fruits and vegetables for all pesticides used in crop production. For example, glyphosate is the most heavily used pesticide in the U.S., and it can be found in high levels on several grains and beans, such as oats and chickpeas. But the USDA has not analyzed these crops for glyphosate. This is troubling, because tests commissioned by EWG found almost three-fourths of popular oat-based food samples, including many popular with children, had pesticide residue levels higher than what EWG scientists consider protective of children’s health." Also all the pesticide runoff that has destroyed waterways in many countries.

Our diet does require some source of calcium, dairy is only one such source, salmon (and some other fish), soy, beans, vegetables. Even a tin of baked beans will give you a decent dose of calcium.

The thing with these post is that they just say a word or two but don't let us know why and/or why not. For ex. Essential Oils. Okay, what about them? The other thing is that nothing is supported with reports/facts, etc. either.

Well for one many are poisonous and any oil can cause pneumonia and death if ingested and accidentally inhaled into the lungs (like people do with beverages) because it disrupts surfactant. They can poison children and small animals when used in a diffuser. Just don't buy them.

One thing I have learned... and it's not universal and so it does not apply to everyone. Some people just have weak immune systems. Most of the people who always have sniffles, a cold, stomach flu and get the flu annually... don't wash their hands after using the toilet.

My immune system was just fine until I went through pregnancy and childbirth. After that, I catch everything that's going around. I haven't changed my hand washing policy.

I have a pretty weak immune system to things like colds. I had mono in college and it got worse after that. I worked in a refrigerated environment for a year and caught 15 colds and covid. And we had to wash our hands at least 6 times during a shift.

That isn't true. Most of these illnesses are contracted from other people, not your own hands/bathroom activities.I was washing my hands in med school every 15 minutes and was constantly sick (this was before masks)

Humans are not the only intelligent species in the whole entire universe. There are other mutch higher intelligent species roaming around outer space. They just don't want to mingle with us because they look at us like the way we look at pond scum.
