RE: Washington's Measle Outbreak and Vaccinations

in #busy6 years ago

Well, that is an interesting and entitled point of view. It is very clear there are still many question about the effectiveness of vaccinations.

I feel quite strongly that I am not a "herd animal", but a free human being. If you would like a better, safer "herd" I suggest you ask the manufacturer to make a better product.

Nearly everything we do from having a cocktail to sexual activity can have an impact on Human Safety. I respect you, but I do not respect the argument at all. Sounds like something you have been fed and believed without question.

Sort:

Again, those acts would only imply a risk on the individual(s) choosing to drink/have unsafe sex etc. I do think that individuals should be able to make such decisions without a nanny-state regulating what you and I can do to ourselves or together with others who choose to participate. But the moral changes the moment the damage is not done to you, but to others around you.

Society does not owe you immunity or safety.

I never implied that. But if I belong to a community who have chosen to invest in obtaining immunity and safety for ourselves, and someone else poses a direct threat to it, then that is a form of vandalism. My conclusion would be that the others should either find another community to go to, or respect the scientific, medical and financial effort made by our community that they wish to be a part of.

I'm sure you are aware that there are no studies of our current vaccination schedule and I certainly hope that as someone who has an understanding of Science and the process involved that you aren't asking for a society that isn't even allowed to review and question that data.

That would be very unscientific.
