Harpocrates Speaks: Beware the Humpty Dumptys
http://www.harpocratesspeaks.com/2015/04/beware-humpty-dumptys.html
Wednesday, April 8, 2015. Beware the Humpty Dumptys. A good example of how communication breaks down when we begin to change the agreed-upon meanings comes from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass. When Alice encounters Humpty Dumpty. For birthday presents, you know. There's glory for you! I don't know what you mean by "glory",' Alice said. Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. 'Of course you don't — till I tell you. I meant "there's a nice knock-down argument for you! This person clearly meant that...

Harpocrates Speaks: Who Chooses? Parents' vs. Children's Rights
http://www.harpocratesspeaks.com/2015/07/who-chooses-parents-vs-childrens-rights.html
Thursday, July 16, 2015. Parents' vs. Children's Rights. To others if you vaccinate your child, how anti-vaccine people want to change legislation. Or how they oppose what they see as government interference. As well as my discussion about a case involving controversy over competing diagnoses. About it in the context of cancer treatment. A common element in all of these topics is autonomy: the right to make decisions about one's own healthcare. More specifically, do parents own their children? To the leg...

Harpocrates Speaks: Is the Government Taking Away People's Beliefs?
http://www.harpocratesspeaks.com/2015/02/is-govt-taking-away-peoples-beliefs.html
Wednesday, February 25, 2015. Is the Government Taking Away People's Beliefs? Measles has been in the news a lot, lately. And it's not surprising, with the unusual 644 cases in 2014 and 154 (as of Feb. 20) and counting already in 2015. The outbreaks have not only grabbed the attention of the media, but politicians are starting to take notice, as well. Several state legislatures are either already considering or will be introducing bills. So what's going on? Is the government taking away people's beliefs?

Harpocrates Speaks: Vaccine Awareness Week: I'm not Anti-vax, I'm Pro-Safe Vaccine
http://www.harpocratesspeaks.com/2010/11/vaccine-awareness-week-im-not-anti-vax.html
Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Vaccine Awareness Week: I'm not Anti-vax, I'm Pro-Safe Vaccine. This whole Vaccine Awareness Week has got me to thinking a bit about some of the arguments that anti-vaxers make. I wonder just how they reason things out. What is it that resonates so strongly in their minds that they don’t simply question vaccines, but go so far beyond reason and rational thought? As I thought about this, I realized something: I, myself, am not anti-vaccine; I’m pro-safe vaccine. Were filled with...

http://www.harpocratesspeaks.com/2011/12/vaccine-awareness-week-if-vaccines-work.html
Thursday, December 29, 2011. Vaccine Awareness Week: If Vaccines Work. I haven't had much time lately to generate new posts, but one thing I've noticed lately is that there is a certain anti-vaccine talking point popping up. So I felt it might be a good time to put up an old post again addressing this point. So, without further ado, here is a post from November 3, 2010 talking about why pro-vaccine people are concerned about those who refuse vaccines. There's a couple problems with this line of reasoning.
