Vaccines—Who Needs 'Em?

[jirisys]

People should have the right to not be vaccinated if they choose. You may argue that it may hurt others in the long run, but so does people voting for Obama.

Whether Obama is hurting others in the long run is subjective and untestable until after it happens. You can scientifically prove that not undergoing vaccination is actually harmful.

You cannot mandate people stop though, as they must be free to do what they feel right, even if it is stupid. As long as they are not intentionally or directly killing/robbing/etc, mind your own business.

You might think this is the same argument as the "We shouldn't wear helmets on our bikes". But it isn't. It affects other people (herd immunity, for the 10th time someone has told you this).

So according to your logic, manslaughter should not be a crime? Because it's usually not intentional? Even so, these people are intentionally putting the life of other at risk, even more than a simple robbery could do, whether they understand it or not is irrelevant.

Given that I suffer from it too - no, but I don't take it personally either.

I don't have dyslexia (hopefully), I was just scapegoating. Sorry about the misleading statement.
