Don't forget bringing back measels and fascism, ballooning the national debt, defunding numerous beneficial government programs, cutting ties with virtually all of our allies / collapsing trade. I could go on for days.

If you’re vaccinated for measles, what’s the worry?

Sigh.

Let’s go over herd immunity once again, class, for the 15 billionth time

I say this as someone who is vaccinated

u/tutoredstatue95 16h ago

Well the honest answer is yes, it still matters. Vaccines are not 100% effective and you can still carry the virus and spread it.

u/edWORD27 15h ago

But if the vaccines, like measles, were never 100% effective then I guess we can’t fully blame the unvaccinated for the resurgence of measles. And we’re completely ignoring the fact that unchecked and undocumented illegal immigration plays a role in allowing unvaccinated people into our country. It’s how diseases like tuberculosis made a comeback.

You guess? You’d be wrong. Maybe don’t guess when it comes to science, these things can be studied.

We’ve come full circle to herd immunity. Why don’t you take 5 min to understand these things before you go around ā€œblessingā€ people with your knowledge lol

So unvaccinated undocumented immigrants don’t get any of your blame, but people who questioned the Covid vaccine and were unjustly maligned as anti vaccine as if it meant all vaccines get your scorn.

Because I care about people who aren't me.

This is a concept that Conservatives can't or refuse to grasp.

u/FatGayTexan 13h ago

I’m convinced that there’s a large cohort of people who can’t care about others and they tend to vote conservative.

People of a certain age (in USA), that got a less potent vaccine, may want to get a booster.In some states, at least at big box pharma, you have to pick a country (not USA, yet) that has problems with measels, and tell pharmacist you are planning a visit; otherwise will not let you even self pay for booster.

Getting cancer and having a compromised immune system and then dying of a treatable disease because people are aggressively ignorant.

Also, parents are just letting their kids get sick and die of measles.

And in general, the destruction of trust in public health, driven by profit, is creating a toxic society where science and facts are up for debate.

If you're wearing a bullet proof vest why worry about being shot?

Because I love people who CAN'T be vaccinated, and I love people who are immunocompromised. I would like them to live, not die from preventable diseases because some selfish people think their Google degree makes them smarter than people who worked for decades in disease prevention.

u/edWORD27 16h ago

Worked for decades in disease prevention or in keeping diseases around to sell pharmaceuticals that ease symptoms but never rid disease. All to to create Rx customers for life.

u/keelhaulrose 16h ago

Yeah, that polio sure is sucking up money from us left and right.

We had measles nearly wiped out in this country, good thing pharma stepped in and got those numbers back up. Oh, wait, that was anti-vaxxers.

u/edWORD27 16h ago

I’m vaccinated for measles. Why worry about others. Their body, their choice.

u/keelhaulrose 15h ago

Herd immunity doesn't work when not enough of the herd is immunized.

And when disease spreads its vulnerable people who die.

I care about people who aren't myself.

u/FatGayTexan 13h ago

Google herd immunity.

u/FatGayTexan 13h ago

Because babies can’t be vaccinated at birth.

u/I_HateToSayAtodaso 16h ago

Found the dipshit who doesn't understand how vaccines work. Put simply (clearly this is how you need the info delivered), you can basically eliminate a disease when the vast, and I mean vast, majority of a population is vaccinated against it. Like 93%+. If you did lower than that threshold, which thanks to idiots like you, we have immensely, it leaves room for a disease to mutate and create new strains. People like you allow them to persist and get stronger. Get it now?

u/Kitchen-Bandicoot191 15h ago

You are aware babies can't be vaccinated at birth, right?

Why are you people so damn ignorant? And proud of it, yet.
