These essays are a study of the vaccine debate itself, using historical mortality questions as the focal point of this analysis. Here are the links to the earlier installments:

Part 1 – The Evangelists

Part 2 – Apostasy

Part 3 – The Red Herring: A Tour of the Motte

Part 4 – Spanish Death Data

Part 5 – The Apologists

We have so far in this essay series looked at two case examples of vaccine apologetics. Those were:

Case Example #1 of Vaccine Apologetics Isabella B's article Graphical Proof that Vaccines Work.

&

Case Example #2 of Vaccine Apologetics: Dr. David Gorski's articles.

Both these case examples we reviewed and deconstructed in depth in Part 3 and 5 of this essay series.

Now we will look at many more case examples of vaccine apologetics, but we will spend far less time with each as most of them are very similar in their core strategies to what we have already reviewed. I will mostly give brief commentary for each case example of vaccine apologetics, often no more than a few At a glance bullet points, with the occasional more elaborate demonstration mixed in.

The purpose of this selection of case examples of vaccine apologetics, spanning two decades, is to provide us a basis for identifying and studying the principal strategies used by the vaccine apologists, which I'll summarize in the 7th and final installment of this essay series The Vaccine Apologists' Playbook.
