Vaccine Evangelists, Apostates, and Apologists: An Essay Series by Jordan Henderson A deep dive into the vaccine conflict NEVERMORE MEDIA AUG 20   READ IN APP   Elephant in the Room – drawing in charcoal and conté on paper, by Jordan Henderson Nevermore contributor Jordan Henderson wrote a must-read essay series exploring the vaccine conflict from the lens of the Vaccine Evangelist, the Vaccine Apostate, and the Vaccine Apologist. Henderson writes, This essay series is a deep dive into the vaccine conflict: the preaching of the Vaccine Evangelists, the refutation of that preaching by the Vaccine Apostates, and the protection of the Vaccine Evangelists by the Vaccine Apologists. In it, he weaves together data, historical events, analogies, and concepts from a wide variety of sources in a cohesive way that sheds light on the vaccine question. What he’s accomplished here is very impressive, and he still makes the information accessible to the reader. While I haven’t verified his sources, I encourage everyone to look into the referenced material themselves. Jordan wrote three parts so far (see links to Parts I-III below, and the following parts will be released at a later point). Check it out: Part I Part 1 - The Evangelists Jordan’s Substack Vaccine Evangelists, Apostates, and Apologists: Part 1 - The Evangelists Part 1 – The Evangelists This essay series is a deep dive into the vaccine conflict: the preaching of the Vaccine Evangelists, the refutation of that preaching by the Vaccine Apostates, and the protection of the Vaccine Evangelists by the Vaccine Apologists… Read more 2 months ago · 9 likes · Jordan Henderson Part II Part 2 - Apostasy Part 2 will be an overview of Vaccine Apostates storming the Bailey and debunking the Vaccine Evangelist preaching (preachings, such as all the exhibits we reviewed in this first installment). Jordan’s Substack Vaccine Evangelists, Apostates, and Apologists: Part 2 – Apostasy In Part 1 we focused on the preaching of the Vaccine Evangelists. Now we will review the work of Vaccine Apostates in which the Apostates have debunked the preaching of the Vaccine Evangelists. If you have yet to read Part 1 of this series, you may wish to do so before reading… Read more a month ago · 2 likes · Jordan Henderson Part III Part 3: The Red Herring: A Tour of the Motte Just what the title implies; a walk through of the relatively undesirable but more defensible vaccinationist stronghold (notification of incidence data) to which they retreat when the Vaccine Apostates storm the Bailey, and an explanation of how Vaccine Apologists use incidence data and off topic questions, as red herrings to redirect the conversation away from the historical death data. Jordan’s Substack The Red Herring: A Tour of the Motte This is the third installment of this essay series. You can read Part 1. The Evangelists at this link here, and Part 2. Apostasy at this link here. I ended Part 2 with the following description for what’s in store in this essay - Part 3.

Part IV Part 4. Historical Death Data from the European Mainland Part V Part 5. The Platitude of Vaccines and Water An exhibition featuring another distinct and popular genre of vaccine evangelism, and some interesting considerations about factors which could actually have been primary players causing the drastic reduction in death attributed to infectious diseases, and which put this genre of vaccine evangelism (the platitude of vaccines and water) into context (highlighting it’s implausibility). Part VI Part 6. The Apologists An introduction to multiple Vaccine Apologists, with point by point dissection and counter criticism of their arguments. Appendix Appendix A. The Apologists Continued Introduction to even more Vaccine Apologists, a whole slew of them, with point by point dissection and counter criticism of their arguments. These are older works of vaccine apologists, and it is not strictly necessary for the reader to read this appendix, it might just be published on my Substack and not part of the main series. The reason for continuing the dissection of Vaccine Apologists in an appendix into older works of apologetics is to create a documented, broader base from which to analyze themes in Vaccine Apologist strategies in Part 7. Part VII Part 7. The Vaccine Apologists’ Playbook An analysis and review of the principal strategies employed by the Vaccine Apologists. An Intermission Followed by Part 8 and Beyond Part 8 and beyond will be a small set of essays focused primarily on unearthing, and presenting in graph format for efficient comprehension, sets of particularly interesting historical mortality data that have yet to be brought into the English speaking sphere of the vaccine conflict, but should be. Rest assured, this essay series will not be spun out any further than the space needed for the most impactful information that I have to share on this topic. Important but less crucial aspects will be placed in appendices to keep the main essay series concise.
