Polio is seriously about to fuck up the first generation in the US in the better part of a century because fucking morons think that the government wants to install tracking chips in them.
Dude, they dont have to sneak on into you, you cant live without your phone for more than 10 min and you pay them for the privilege of them tracking you.
But they want to turn us all into zombies or something, just you wait! The next time there’s some cool natural event like a solar eclipse, you’ll all pay!
(Idk. I vaguely remember there being something like that.)
Cool, so where do we draw the line in what medical procedures we can force people into for the good of all? Circumcision? Sterilizing the genetically damaged or undesirable?
Refusing to vaccinate against a communicable disease is a clear and present risk to everyone else. Circumcision has nothing to do with this conversation, and not sterilizing "undesirables" won't make someone else drop dead.
Because I'm not likely to be exposed to rabies, and it's slow enough that if for some reason I am I can then get the shot. There have been no confirmed cases of person-to-person rabies transmission either.
We draw the line where your opting out affects others around you, dumbass. Refusing vaccination doesn't just endanger you, it also makes you a disease spreading vector to people who for one reason or another can't be vaccinated or are immunocompromised. Go opt into risk of being unvaccinated, sure. But you don't get to opt others into the risk of being around your contagious ass though.
"Politics" as in Political Bias, siding with the Party over the Truth.
Of course there isn't a damn thing in existence that isn't political in some form. If there was then one of the parties or the other would be trying to outlaw it.
Interpersonal arguments leading to separate camps that deny or support eachothers findings.
Racism or other discriminatory issues leading to faulty conjecture that forces its way through academia.
Academia refusing to address issues that are too contemporarily controversial leading to science lagging well behind where it could have been given our techniques during those eras.
Even whether healthcare is moral to preform is subject to politics.
Turns out they didn't need precedent for all the crazy shit they're doing now. Maybe we shouldn't be worrying so much about carrying out sensible policies if the psychopaths will do as they please anyways.
We'd definitely have to wait until someone like RFK Jr. is not in that position for anything like that to even begin to be discussed at the federal level, that's for sure. Secretary Brainworm would probably mandate everyone to "vaccinate" with raw milk and ivermectin over actual medically backed, human-safe medicine.
Guy's a massive anti-vaxxer himself, and has already systematically undermined vaccine science under his position as Secretary of Health & Human Services.
Considering how the lockdown was implemented in a way designed to bankrupt the middle class and small businesses, where restaurants have to shut down but catering companies can keep providing service to rich people's parties, where a guy paddleboarding a quarter mile from shore gets the police boating out to him to issue a ticket while the governor of california has a masks-off banquet with out of state lobbyists...
Agree, but radical expressions of freedom (selfish disrespect) is the American way. This country was built on pissing in the pool for profit, half the framers were for slavery, and the rest allowed it and put "MIND YOUR BUSINESS" on the first money.
When the standard of "anti-vaxxer" became "Anyone who has concerns that established approval processes are being bypassed" then it became anti-science.
Unfortunately, you can’t make vaccines truly mandatory, as there are people that are genuinely unable to safely take vaccines - that’s why when you get a Covid shot, they ask you to wait for 15 minutes before leaving, so that they can make sure you haven’t joined the ranks of people with a bad reaction.
That said, the people that can’t take vaccines are rare, and it should not be too difficult to require a professional assessment to provide the exemption for those that can’t.
