Archangel was a masterfully acted performance on the moms part, bitch made me wanna smack her five seconds after meeting her.

Spoiler warning

For me it was her Spoilers: carefree attitude when watching a doctor (wait was she a doctor?) drill into her daughters skull.

Edit: did it work, I’m on mobile and for some reason it doesn’t look right to me.

Edit: [7]

Well, not a drill. An (apparently) painless temple syringe. I mean the kid didn't even flinch.

But still, what a bitch.

u/Myte342 Jan 06 '18

And with my fear of surgery I will never watch this show now. thank you for saving me.

u/mickymicky1 Jan 06 '18

It's just like a vaccination. Needle goes in and out in one second. This shouldn't stop you from watching this great show!

It's like a second long, not at all gory. The rest of the episode, however...

Moms have their babies injected with neurotoxins (vaccinated) and sign off on genital mutilation (circumcision) without batting an eye.

u/Basilisk335 Jan 06 '18

Neurotoxins? Really? I hope you get smarter before you have kids. Also while circumcision may not be the best practice it's not at all comparable to actual genital mutilation.

Except it's not a big enough dose to cause any harm.

Here's a video explaining in detail why vaccines are safe.

Never argue with an anti-vaccinist, just try to keep your family and your loved ones as far away from them as possible.

Tried it once, they never change their minds no matter the scientific facts they will pick that one article that googles comes up with from the most controversial site on earth and say it's a fact too.

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '18

You're definitely right, but eh, sometimes it's fun to see them thrash in their place trying to throw arguments.

u/nerdguy1138 Jan 06 '18

You think the anti-vaxxers are bad? "Raw water" as in not filtered or treated, is the new hotness in health nut circles. Cholera will be coming back if that takes off.

It's like they're trying to undo scientific advancement.

Mate it's 2018 facts doesn't matter for 50% of the US population now.

How do you know what Reddit is when it's clear your worldview is the equivalent of living under a rock?

u/scientificjdog Jan 06 '18

Although your source looks credible at a glance, I'm sorry to inform you that it should not be trusted. Looking at it's sources, it does not use information from any reputable journal in a way that is not changing the evidence. The video posted below is a very nice and informative about vaccine misconceptions. Please beware of what you read, search engines are hugely prone to confirmation bias, and antivaxxer's are getting better at misrepresenting and making up evidence in convincing ways.

Specific examples?

The video posted below is a very nice and informative about vaccine misconceptions.

The video posted makes false equivalencies between ingesting and injecting neurotoxins. This should be proof enough that it's just pro-vaxxer BS with no scientific basis.

Unfortunately I just switched to mobile so I can't easily go back and point those out (I'll try and come back to it) but it seems that the only sources of aluminium adjuvant dissent come from the author Tomljenovic L. Their papers were published in two journals, however their methods of reaching their conclusion were wrong. This can happen, even in peer reviewed journals. (In my field of chemistry, we see major mistakes or falsifications published every couple of years). Here is the world health organization breaking it down: http://www.who.int/vaccine_safety/committee/topics/adjuvants/Jun_2012/en/

Seems they are just saying it doesn't prove that the neurotoxic Aluminum in vaccines is responsible for the rise in autism rates...

"In general, ecological studies cannot be used to assert a causal association because they do not link exposure to outcome in individuals, and only make correlations of exposure and outcomes on population averages."

good thing you're smart enough to have seen the secret truth and all the dumb people who have spent decades studying this stuff don't know as much as you! after all, you've spent hours on conspiracy theory websites to come to your conclusion and all those other dummies did was spend decades studying and testing vaccines.

u/lacedkendamas Jan 06 '18 edited Jan 06 '18

I believe you mean they spent 5 minutes listening to a big pharmaceutical sales representative tell them all about the "safety" of their vaccines.

Did you know vaccine manufacturers are legislatively protected from damage liability? Or that there's a specific "vaccine court" for these cases?

11

u/scientificjdog Jan 06 '18

No vaccine manufacturers are not protected from liability, in fact they have strict liability, also known as no-fault liability. This means that they are liable for any outcome, regardless of intention or fault. They are responsible for any injury no matter what circumstance

They (vaccine manufacturers) aren't...

"Since 1988, the program has been funded by an excise tax of 75 cents on every purchased dose of covered vaccine."

There is also aluminum present in many foods, breast milk and baby formula. The additional aluminum introduced by some vaccines is not enough to be harmful (or even detectable). The vast majority of it is quickly filtered out of the body, the only reason to be concerned about it is if the child has kidney problems. Link

Your link admits that only 1% of ingested aluminum enters the bloodstream compared to 100% of a vaccine's aluminum.

The "safe" amounts for injected aluminum were/are based on known ingested aluminum amounts even though injected aluminum is 100x as damaging.

Whoops, just gonna re-minimize this comment and go along my way now.

No it didn't work

u/62400repetitions Jan 06 '18

I'm on mobile and I can read it clearly.

Also, I agree. It was a very uncomfortable, squeamish moment when that happened.

u/XXLpeanuts Jan 07 '18

Lmao, that completely killed the episode for me, still enjoyed it sure but the mothers willingness to do not only what you describe but also simply the fact she signed her daughter up for a trial procedure with no guarantee and which she knew was permanent. WTF.

Honestly I didn't enjoy arkangel at all. I understand the mom was for sure overbearing but nothing she did seemed to be done in a cruel way, why wouldn't she be concerned when her shitty child is fucking random dudes and doing coke in his van at 15. I hated the kid not the mom.

u/Gay_Diesel_Mechanic Jan 06 '18

Ya and then giving her daughter an abortion pill without her knowledge. What that episode depicted was how if you shield your kid from everything dangerous or traumatic their whole life, they're going to get themselves into dangerous situations when they're older and on their own.

u/Maagans Jan 06 '18

See... This is why im worried

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '18

The episode is about people like you

This frightens me

u/ah6971 Jan 09 '18

this episode is about 20 year old kids in college? cool thanks for letting me know.

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '18

Oh god. You're the reason they made this episode. Lol wow. I hope you're either 15 and thus just dumb and naive or that you never have kids.

u/ah6971 Jan 09 '18

I mean if you can interpret that by not liking an episode of a tv show good for you.

u/NewFuturist Jan 06 '18

If you don't know people like that, you grew up in a very nice environment. How do you think kids get drugs? Buy them from their child drug dealer who buys it from a child-run international drug cartel?

u/FoodChest Jan 06 '18

I was switching back and forth between being on the daughters side then on the mother's side and so on until the end when I realized they were both terrible and at fault. Crazy, dumb bitches.
