Up hill conversation to get people who are against vaccines to trust a predatory for profit medical industry that has given us all reason to distrust. I’m someone that relies on herd immunity, so please get you and your kids vaccinated, but I understand where people are coming from even though they’ve come to trust baseless theories that are based on intentional ignorance.
The thing is that logic only make sense if they were against it all. People happily slopped down Ivermectin as a vaccine replacement
Forgive me, I didn’t mean to leave anyone with the impression that there was any attempt at logic from antivaxxers.
My point is that the industry that rakes in riches on the suffering of the sick has left ample reasons for people to distrust it and not believe anything that it says.
I’ve got a family member who is not getting their daughter the HPV vaccine because of “the lies”. That same family member? She barely survived a cervical cancer that was likely there because she was HPV positive. No logic there at all.
Oh no I totally understand your point and no need to apologize. I just also wanted to add my two cents.
Me: this interacting with an Internet stranger is going well. Me: notices RampageDon is on a .ca server Me: Ah, I bet that’s it.
Haha I'm actually from the US. Was on .ee and have been trying out different spaces since that one is closing down.
