| Description | Boudry and Braeckman (2011) regard immunizing strategies as arguments. I will argue against and show that (A) immunizing strategies are not arguments and (B) they are instead violations of rules of (critical) discussion. I will (A) show problems with analyses of examples using the Toulmin model of argument, and I will (B) show that the pragma-dialectical theory of argumentation can explain each type of immunizations as violations of particular rules of critical discussion. |
