yeah im agreeing with you

#42738

they’re all horrible, but the reason they’re all horrible is for the reason they’re grouped together (which is why i can say with certainty it applies to all of them) anti-vaxxers. they either dont believe or dont trust how vaccines work, and even if not applied to a child that can still be dangerous/bad

Anti-vaxx =/= ableists, nor child abusers.
Automatically assuming that makes you as bad as the people you fight against.

Same. I know high intelligent anti-vaxxers.

#42743

That is not the part I was disagreeing with

And I question that statement

#42744

Like if you put your own children and others at risk of disease I’m not sure that’s “highly intelligent” ever

#42745

People may have other areas of high intellect that doesn’t involve the medical field.

#42746

You don’t need to be a medical expert to understand that, barring unusual circumstances, risking people to disease is bad

Especially right now that much should be obvious

Depends on the risk. I’m not particularly worried about polio in Great Britain.

#42749

But if enough people are sufficiently un-worried, that’s how diseases come back.

It’s a problem.

#42750

NHS would just monitor rates of immunisation and if they get too low they can just pass law.
But yes, that could happen, but law prevents it

(oh no no no laugh)

My best friend is antivaxxer. She’s becoming a maths prof at university in a few years, and she’s not vaccined against anthing. I was sceptic, but she’s actually right. She has a very strong immune system and she got never sick.

Knowing someone who is a standout is not a reason to promote things that are scientifically proven to be bad
