Answer 2

Answer:

The chosen fallacy was "Appeal to authority":

"Your father never had vaccinations and this is great, you shouldn't have your vaccinations either."

Explanation:

Fallacy is an incorrect reasoning, but defended so logically that it makes it seem true. However, the flaws in this reasoning may be well evident. Generally, deceit is used to deceive or convince someone.

The fallacy I used as an example, above, is the so-called "appeal to authority" where someone promotes a statement showing that you should do what a person who is authority in your life has done. Your father is an honor in your life, so this fallacy states that if your father didn't get vaccines, you shouldn't get them either.

However, there are other fallacies. All with the same objective as adding logic in an incorrect argument. Among these fallacies we can highlight:

Appeal to pity: Presents an argument that seeks to make the listener have pity and sympathy for the wrong thought being exposed. Example: "I hope you will accept my late essay. I spent the whole morning writing it."

Appeal to fear: Attempts to provoke fear in the listener, convincing him to believe that what the speaker is offering is better than the other option. Example: "Only our church is the right one. If you go to another one, you will end up going to hell".

Appeal to ignorance: Attempts to state false information, based on other false information given previously. Example: "It is impossible that the pharmaceutical industry did not create diseases to profit from the sale of medicines."

Appeal to personal attack: Uses arguments that attack the author or creator of a certain thing, instead of attacking the thing itself. Try to disqualify someone's work because of points in someone's personal life. Example: "You cannot elect a person who has already been divorced twice".
