Did you click on, and read, the Huffington Post article? I thought not.

My qualifications are irrelevant to you as I have only presented as evidence other people's work. I refuse to fall into the trap of your "Appeal to Authority" logical fallacy. No matter my qualifications, you either won't concede to them or will argue they are insufficient. So I do not. Instead, I refer to the work of other professionals, predominantly researchers. I understand that must be immensely frustrating for you.

But if you have a problem with the qualifications of those who work at the American Lung Associations, the Centers for Disease Control, the American Journal of Public Health, the Huffington Post, or anyone whose worked I have cited for that matter ... feel free to take it up with them.

"as if pharmaceuticals have no roll in treatment" ... such a Straw Man argument. You really need to brush up on your debate logical fallacies. Perhaps you are correct : this is not a debate. It cannot be a debate if you don't know how.

The CDC recommends flu vax. It’s as simple as that yet you pretend to know otherwise. There is no debate with Luddites since there is no understanding of evidence based science. The huff po is left wing nonsense.
