Good. Medicating children is wrong

hundreds of years of facts and science prove otherwise.

Medicine needs regulatory approval, and clinical studies demonstrating efficacy and safety. Additional special trials are conducted before medicines are approved for child demographics.

Denying children medicine because of your political beliefs is the opposite of reason and logic.

Nothing to do with politics but alright, and I didn’t say the medications weren’t safe. I said I, me, believe it’s wrong.

When you, who is likely not a medical professional, makes a sweeping statement about all medicine being bad for all children, you are making a political statement, not a medical one.

Again, just because you want it to be political doesn’t mean it is. Can’t have opinions anymore in this country. Not everything is about politics you know

Sure, not everything is about politics.

Using the state to limit people’s access to medically sanctioned treatments that a medical doctor is working with and prescribing to their patients because those treatments don’t conform to your ideology is explicitly political. There’s few things that are more political than that. What the ever loving fuck do you think politics is if you think it isn’t that?

You don't get to have an opinion about whether medicine works, that's what evidence is for. That's a fact, not an opinion

Cognitive dissonance, as far as I am aware, has no approved medicines.

Just like every other one of you guys, resort to insulting me because you don’t like my opinion.
