He was a heroin addict for 17 years and had a brain worm! This is the best we’ve got?!?!?

I don't see why either of these things would disqualify him? Let's stick to the anti vax stuff.

Plenty of reasons

1) blackmail vulnerabilities

2) getting addicted in the first place means poor impulse control

3) potential brain damage

4) heroin is an addiction for life. If he was addicted for 17 years, he's still addicted. He's just clean (we presume)

  1. You can't blackmail someone for something that is widely known.

  2. It's a little more complicated and shouldn't be generalized.

  3. It may or may not. This should be investigated in each case.

  4. I don't even know what you mean by that.

I think 4th means that there are generally no former addicts. Once an addict, always an addict.

Is this a scientific conclusion, or just a loose observation by people who are not qualified on the subject?

This is both a scientific conclusion and what every other actual addict ever says.

If this is a scientific conclusion, what is the definition of such an addict?
