“It is not a mild infection, it is not a mild virus; it is a severe illness. And they kept on telling me they wish they’d known beforehand how bad measles was, so that they could have protected their family,” she said.

    Should be a law if you don’t trust science to get vaccinated, you can’t use hospital resources when you’re sick. Do your research and figure it out.

      Sounds great in theory, absolutely rancid in practice. It would lead to a massive increase in infections in people who actually did get vaccinated or who are otherwise immunocompromised.

          I honestly believe that this will happen over a long period of time. As more diseases and pandemics come back, the people who don’t get vaccinated will die in larger numbers, leading to natural selection against stupidity. Unfortunately it will also take out the vulnerable.

            ive seen more infections circulating around ever since Mr brainworms removed any vaccine mandates, or defunded vaccine research. now we also see people resisting getting vaccines in general now too.

          It means if someone needs healing you heal them, end of story. Choosing to not help is doing harm.

          This circle of hate is sad and worrying. The solution to this measles problem is more education and leaders that really care about their population, not stupid campism. What is gained by not treating the stupid fucks who refuse the vaccine because they think they know better? They will become a contagion vector and die in their conviction, and you get to feel smug I guess. Be the better person, don’t stoop to their level.

      Seems like self-deportation to a faraway island would be a win-win. Thrive, die, they can do whatever they like with minimal impact on the rest of society.
