you personally will be okay. However, in large part it is not the uneducated retards who get hurt, it's their children. Plenty of the fucks refusing vaccinations for their kids have been vaccinated themselves, and probably blame it for any and all of their health problems and mental deficiencies. This shit makes me so goddamn mad.

Back to you though, yeah you'll be fine. However if some measles stricken kid gets the virus on you, it can live on your clothes for quite a while, potentially making you the vector by which it is transmitted to someone else. That someone could be your own kid, for example. The MMR vaccine is typically not given until 12 months, so even if you plan to vaccinate like a responsible parent, your kid could get it in that time window.

The difference is that the actions the NSA has done isn't that surprising for the Government to do--as there's a lot of reasons for the Government wanting to wiretap someone--what made it surprising to the public was that they were collecting information on everybody and storing it, rather than before, when most people thought the NSA didn't have sufficient resources or time to monitor everyone, and only focus on a few highlighted suspects.

The thing with the Government wanting to maliciously vaccinating it's population with the intent to cause health problems doesn't make sense. Why do that? Population control? no, that would be stupid, because in cases of that, they usually pick particular people as targets who are inclined to have high birth rates and aren't considered valuable to society; but with vaccines, it seems almost all the population besides anti-vacciners are getting them, including the Government and the Elites.

Are you fucking daft? The reason average life expectancy has greatly increased in the last few centuries is not because people are living longer, but because fewer kids are dying young. You always stood a good chance of living to be old, even thousands of years ago, provided you survived to adulthood. That was the trick. Families would have many children because maybe 3/5 of them would survive to adulthood.

Guess what one of the main reasons kids stopped dying so often in youth is? Vaccines. It's one thing if you're a stupid adult and you want to roll the dice, but rolling the dice with your little children's lives is the worst kind of ignorance and irresponsibility.

The hard truth is that EVEN IF vaccines got linked to autism or whatever they're afraid of, it would STILL BE WORTH IT TO VACCINATE YOUR KIDS. Maybe a few of them get autism, but many many more will not die horribly of childhood diseases.

How is it a complex issue? Vaccines don't hurt people who aren't allergic to them. People who are allergic or otherwise unable to take them (newborn babies) rely on herd immunity, which is broken when some otherwise healthy people refuse to take vaccines. It's not a personal choice, it literally kills other people when you refuse to take a vaccine. These vaccines are REQUIRED for school registration etc., but because some people make a first amendment claim to exercise a "personal belief," public schools are denied the ability to mandate safety.

It's only an emotional cause for one side.

Yes there have been problems for individuals and yes that will continue, but you can say the same thing about absolutely any public policy, including and especially the ones that benefit everyone.

Yes, vaccines are big business. So is water and sanitation. I will absolutely shame anyone who thinks they deserve prerogative on the issue of essential vaccines. Someone who thinks their opinion matters on the issue of vaccination is just as fucking stupid and arrogant as someone who thinks their opinion matters on whether to wash their hands before handling food.

Notice that note of this talk about mandating to vaccines extends to flu vaccines or shit like that. We are talking only about lethal diseases that are prevented easily and effectively with herd immunity. But everybody has to be a part of it to make it work. You get a vote. You probably shouldn't, as it's not a matter of opinion, but you do get a vote.

Anti-vaxxers are retarded but we are not helped when people who don't know what they're talking about weigh in.

Vaccines are not perfect. They work, in part, by making the disease unlikely to spread in a population. If the vaccine doesn't take in 1% of the population, that's not a problem because they'll never get exposed to the disease when the vaccine worked in the potential carrier.

They haven't been around long enough to be a serious selection criteria yet. The ancestral environment adaption they are ACTUALLY executing is probably more along the lines of "I would rather do what my friend and ally says than what the Tribal Authority says," and I'm sure that's been sufficiently beneficial to survival (Whenever the tribal authority was full of shit) that it's still around.

It's just that these days, the Tribal Authority uses the Scientific Method, so it's much less likely to invent stupid bullshit rules like " wear not cloting made from two cloths" and much more likely to make good rules like "Don't stick your baby in the microwave you dumb fuck."

I would actually expect it to be aligned left/right, with a primarily left bias. Partially because it is driven by a fear of "big business" (which is primarily left-ish) and partially because the right are big on purity (which vaccines help with, keeping diseases away).

For example, The HuffPost, one of the most liberal publications is infamous for publishing anti vaccine material. Even the daily show has made point of liberals being anti vaccine.

I don't think those are nearly as common as "Big business will do anything to get ahead"-variant leftists. Citation: I am one of those.

You know that old "Stupid or Evil?" pop quiz?

Conservatives (generally) think that Government is an inefficient waste, not that it is actively evil.

Liberals (generally) think that Big Business is actively malicious when it helps them earn money, not that they're just too stupid to find out that they're hurting people.

As such, any plot that requires the Big Business to be evil is more likely to be expounded by liberals, whereas any accusation of inefficient government waste is more likely to be levied by conservatives.

"Vaccines cause mind control autism" is more "Evil Big Pharma" than it is "Inefficient FDA" so I'd expect more liberals to believe it.

>>7043915
>>PPP found 12% of people who described themselves as very liberal believe vaccines cause autism, compared with 22% of hardline conservatives.

I think people in this thread are forgetting another aspect of Herd Immunity. More unvaccinated people means more places for whatever infectious agent it is has to reproduce and evolve.

The more pockets of unvaccinated people spreading it, the more opportunity there is for a new strain that the vaccine won't protect against to arise.

The upper estimate of the threshold for herd immunity is 95% for measles. Look at the OP image again if it didn't seem clear why it's a big deal.

big government obiously restricts private enterprise, thus you can't have both at the same time.

I'm just saying that IF you are calling yourself a liberal, you have a higher probability of believing corporations are evil than if you're calling yourself a conservative and vice versa if you are a conservative re: government inefficiency.

>>7044747
>corporations are evil because they don't provide charity to people and just seek to maximize profit! government must step in and force them to provide charity to some people!

As somebody who is actually pretty far out along that axis, that's not the belief. They're not actually evil; they cannot be, they have no minds. Rather, their behavior, in aggregate, harms people because they are not rewarded for avoiding harm, which is a mouthful so it's easier and almost-as-accurate to just call them evil.

And while we're at it: Because I am a real person rather than a caricature, I also believe that government inefficiency is a major problem. I just don't find that problem as important as the other one. I'm sure if you found a real conservative rather than the cartoon conservatives upheld in left-wing media, that conservative would also believe that companies do some fucked up shit sometimes, but just not find that as big a problem as government waste.

key differene seems to be the definition of "causing harm"

as in, corporations pretty much never actively cause harm to anyone. because that'd get the people in charge arrested for breaking the law.

for some reason, the left wing seem to define "causing harm" as "not giving out charity to everyone who asks for it" while the right wing defines it as "actively infringing on somebody's property or liberty"

You are, I'm guessing, more right and/or libertarian than left?

Mainly because it seems you got the right-wing one down exactly right but fucked the left-wing one completely.

"Harm" is stuff like killing people. They don't do that so much any more in the west, but they're doing it everywhere else and they used to do it in the west as well. Not because they like to kill (psychos excepted) but because killing is a useful tool in getting what you want (that is, profits.)

"Harm" is stuff like polluting. Half the reason we have all the problems with pirates near Somalia is that their traditional fisheries have been ruined by all the shit that is being dumped in the water there, so they have to find different sources of income, and what's better than coercing money from the people that fucked them in the first place?

"Harm" is stuff like lobbying the government to use Eminent Domain so you can build new stuff in an area people are already living in.

"Harm" is simple stuff, like scheduling every worker for 39 hours every week so you get a full work week but they don't hit that magical 40 hour limit that changes their designation to "full time" and makes you have to shell out the accompanying benefits. Making workers come to work even if they're ill because otherwise they get fired. Things that are perfectly legal but nevertheless cruel.

>> No.7044793

>What do you want to be called?
Idk really.

I just think that business are obviously driven by competition and that if they can get away with breaking laws designed to protect consumers they will eventually try it especially if they're aware others in their industry are doing so.

As a side note, breaking the laws that regulate business is basically guaranteed to be profitable since if it wasn't nobody would have ever done it [profit seekers are generally not in the business of shady practises just for fun] hence there would be no laws on the matter.

Anyhow, I think the ideal arrangement is one where government is too scared of the people to fuck business, business is too scared of government to fuck the people, and the people are too scared of business to fuck the government; result being that nobody fucks anyone over and we all get (relatively) along.
