I could claim that an interstellar donut causes HIV. I could then say "prove me wrong!" and claim that since no one provided any evidence against my claims, then my beliefs were perfectly valid. I'd feel real smug, knowing my idea about the donut was right unless someone went to work and gave me a link (or a picture from Hubble) giving evidence otherwise.

That is exactly what you are doing with the lunar and vaccine claims.

Science doesn't have to give "evidence" disproving every nutty claim. That isn't how it works. Instead it's up to the person who MADE the claim to provide the evidence. You obviously have no scientific or engineering training, or otherwise you'd know this most basic fact.

Otter tried to explain this you, but you seemed too dense to get it. Now please follow her example and leave this OT.
