Sure, people should be able to make their own decisions. But they'll be able to make much better-informed decisions if you do your job and educate the populace about the life-saving benefits of vaccines. This guy should be stripped of his medical license.
Ask the people with side effects that ruined their life about how great they are.
Its amazing for everyone else of course but everyone is taking a small risk by vaccinating themselves.
Society thinks the risks are worth taking since the majority are going to be fine. But on a personal level, I support anyone not wanting to take that risk.
And I support those people living in the fucking woods and never, ever making contact with anyone. After all, it's their choice.
They don't want to play by society's rules then they can fuck right off out of society.
In my society, it was a choice to vaccinate.
In my society nobody chose to be unvaccinated, because many of them had friends or family who gotten polio and died or was crippled.
Back then it was also manditory. Nurses came to the schools and you got vaccinated, no questions asked.
I know. To me it always seemed like the wrong choice to force it on people.
Then you never had a friend or relative that paid with their lives because some other twat didn't get vaccinated.
If you are vaccinated, you are in theory protected against that decease, and it doesnt matter if others are not.
How about those people who can't get vaccinated because they're allergic, or they're sick, or they're too young? You put them at risk because you want them to get sick instead.
You and your selfishness can just go away.
Yes, i care about my own health more than strangers health, thats correct.
I also take a car to work despite it polluting the environment, because im not willing to suffer public transport two times per day.
