c'mon man...

LOL...."not being allowed to question". For chrissakes, the dipshit President and nearly half of the bleating congress was questioning it constantly and questioning it loudly. Fox News, the WSJ, right wing media, and talk radio questioned and screamed and often crossed into hysteria about vaccination. The opposition to vaccines was pronounced, well publicized, and didn't get shut down in any quarter. Yeah, it got labeled as anti-vax but here's the reality, that term is completely accurate:



the problem for anybody who may, or may not, have a thoughtful opposition to vaccines (which I haven't really heard) is that the belligerent-ignorant- reactionary people and performance actors dominated one side of the debate

to compare what has 'happened' to anti-vaxers (I mean, how exactly have they been harmed?) to the rise of Nazi-ism and fascism in Europe in the 30's is crazy

 

@wizenheimer did you know the CDC changed their definition of a vaccine? From something that produces immunity to simply protection. So no calling someone Anti based a new definition is a false pretense.

How have they been harmed? Lost their jobs, coerced, intimidated, ostracized. Barred from new employment, wrongly segregated.

 

lol...so then, you mean that employers can actually set the terms of employment? And businesses can actually determine requirements for entry? Radical

The flu vaccine has never given full "immunity", just a level of protection

 

And opting out of this doesn't make one, an "Anti-Vaxxer"

 

Ive read (and posted) a lot of asinine things in this forum. This might have been the craziest thing I've seen posted.

 

that's true, I guess...personal choice. But like all decisions, there are consequences for making that choice

Choice--->consequences.

And sometimes, and there's plenty of evidence for this, people opting for no vaccination resulted in consequences for others. The insidious nature of infection-->transmission-before-symptoms-->symptoms. The old "your right to swing your fist ends at my nose"

 

Stop it. That is not what I was implying and you know it, and not close to what I said. Good grief, try to have a little more open of a mind before the continual knee jerk response. You're better than that.
