How about the Draft? We sure as shit don't have that anymore, do we?

I think anti-vaxxers are morons. Sorry, can't be bothered to sugar coat the feelings of these people any more. Do you realise how many preventable diseases are now killing children because of shitty dumb parents? Measles was officially declared eliminated in the US in 2000. Now? Kills hundreds of children a year and that figure is only going up.
God damn lets all hope polio doesn't make a return. We can drape fun little Christmas tree lights over the iron lungs and call them ''i'm happy mummy didn't vaccinate me'' pods.

''But, muh freedom!!'' You have the freedom to kill others? And your kids? And your friends? And co-workers? No vaccine is 100% effective which means that they rely on herd immunity to get the best out of them. Your ''freedom'' is just another word for ''selfish''.

Do you know what I blame? Social media. It has allowed silver tongued liars and charlatans and Twitter scientists to pollute the minds of the impressionable. So many of our problems today from vaccine ''hesitancy'' to crackpot lunatics being voted in is down to the mistrust of actual, accredited, learned experts and social media has fuelled it.

A person on Youtube I follow made this vid with his opinions on avoiding the Vaccine perfectly clear (note there is A Lot of cursing in this vid since he is at the end of his rope): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFkLT5U ... L&index=22

I actually got my shots, but the idea of FORCING the vaccine onto 80 million people is fuckin' scary, you know?

Being forced into vaccination has been the standard for schools around the country for longer than most people on this board have been alive.

We do, we (Americans) just don't use it.

[J!!]

So we've finally gotten past the 'fuck around' stage, and into the 'find out' stage. Good.

Then where did that change, let me ask? Otherwise it wouldn't be an issue NOW.

It didn't change. It's likely that if the vaccine is approved for under 12 the CDC or the department of education will make it mandatory for students.

To dismiss another person's assessment of risk to "distrust of science" is an appeal to authority fallacy. Given that at least 20% of medical professionals have not taken the vaccine to classify them as "anti-science" is something of a libel.

That's not a "given", it's a bald faced lie.

The AMA reports over 96% of doctors are fully vaccinated

The American Nurses Association reports that 88% of nurses are vaccinated

Then there should be no basis for rising distrust in the institution of science. You can blame the GOP all you want, at the end of the day, the people I talk to aren't even associated with the Republicans. No one likes politicians now because we ALL admit they're paid for. Come on, vaccine shots are NOT mandatory because it has NEVER been mandatory for ME and the flu shot every year. And if they want me to take a booster every year, then fuck them, I refuse to do that. Given that the ghouls at the top just seemed to have gotten a lot more powerful because of it. Yeah, Trump is gone. He's ONE corrupt right guy, but he's a corrupt rich asshole who they could not control. We're back to the same damned thing. And why should we trust them?

Think about it. IF WE HAVE TO TAKE A FUCKIN' BOOSTER EVERY YEAR and we're treating not doing so as Nazi criminal satanism for spreading the superkiller bug, which is HYPERBOLE, it has NOT gone back to normal. We've had our liberties put down. There are more years than not to which I do not take the flu shot, and I was never shamed for being an idiot over it. Yet I never thought anti-vaccination was a good policy. I had my booster as a toddler, and that was it. Frankly, I have to wonder if maybe at this point we just DO need some kinda good old civil war. Just kill. And kill and kill and kill. Not even left or right. Just... vent off this rising fuckin' hate and be done with it. Maybe then it ends. But more likely the tyrants STILL keep taking MORE power away from us! HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS NOT DISTURB YOU?! If you can't be open-minded enough to challenge your own biased, cherished, comfortable opinions on this, to which hey, I COULD BE WRONG, I'm human, I'm fallible, I'm not God, then you're exactly the problem.
