Sure.
As stated, I've just had 'my' own biases on the subject and been pretty charged up around the whole issue, seeing these experimental technologies being pushed so aggressively with so much manipulation, etc - the background to that, which it seems you're familiar with. It's been shocking watching it all go down, and I've felt deeply disturbed witnessing the crimes against humanities that have been perpetuated cloaked in highly-propagandized narratives and condemnation of those (experts) who've warned of the disastrous consequences and how much 'collateral damage' has been taking place with this agenda that's been getting swept under the rug. The amount of fuckery involved with it all is beyond what I could've imagined (even though it was no surprise these agendas were underway) - and I've had extreme difficulty staying objective and detached from the whole situation...
I don't think the resistance was personal or pertaining to your specific comment - though just a defensive reaction to the politicized clusterfuck of the usual conflicts between the pro & anti sides of these debates. I've seen so many babies thrown out with bathwater on these matters and such rude, arrogant, aggression towards those who've been blowing the whistle - that my mind jumped to its own conclusions about where you were heading with "his analysis is based off a falsehood, and has no logical basis" and the following critique, the emotions kicking in with expectations of the usual toxic 'anti-vaxers are dumb' type of metacontext - rather than fully hearing you out from a place of neutrality.
Is anything about it incorrect?
To be honest, I'm not sure. When I first saw the piece, I got where the author was coming from. And while I didn't dive in intensively to pick it apart in the same way you did, I'm not even sure I could read through it objectively with the same type of critical thinking you did. I didn't really reply direct to any of it because I didn't feel equipped for debate - and sorta gave the benefit of the doubt that you did know what you were talking about. (I'd also seen something else on Instagram in between the post and your comment that was along the same lines of your take, so possibly was even a bit embarrassed to have shared it without fully grasping and seeing the error - and thus chose to remain reserved since I didn't know enough to speak confidently to your points.)
I'm sorry if I stepped on your toes, it's not personal.
Not at all. I respect the contribution to the dialogue - especially from someone as yourself who's been doing alot of due diligence and has the mature outlook you concluded with:
We need to expose the problems with these products, but we have to do it truthfully and accurately, or we discredit ourselves and our cause.
Had you merely left it at with the critique, I probably would've remained in the resistance and subconscious expectation of you having judgements towards "anti-vaxers" as so many others do simply for asking questions. Though as stated, this final statement is gold - and very effectively served to neutralize my triggers and perhaps even upgrade my own mindset on the whole matter.
Hope that clarifies.

also @samstonehill... I was curious what you'd meant by:
And I was a little surprised at
@rok-sivante 's response
So hopefully the above may provide some clarity for you as well.
