    I’m not insulting you, but thinking that facts are always knowledgeable is a childish vision of the world.

    You put quotes around expert because you know they weren’t, actual experts were saying vaccines did not cause autism. Let me ask you then, how do YOU know that vaccines don’t cause autism? Because to me the answer is simple, I’ve listened to the consensus of the experts, but to you that’s a fallacy.

    Facts are not always knowledgeable, authority in a field gives one credibility over the facts they claim.
