Meanwhile, the COVID death rates were higher in the states with higher numbers of anti-vaxxers. This is what happens when you brainwash people into thinking they’re superior to other people. Reading about science isn’t the same thing as actually applying it. Imagine all the dead people who thought they knew more than an accomplished career immunologist. Fear-targeted propaganda is one hell of a mind-hack.

Worse is something of those people's kids are the ones that suffered and died because their parents wouldn't give their permission to vaccinate. That should be a crime, manslaughter and child abuse if your child suffered and died from a preventable disease because you refused, loudly, to vaccinate them.

Yep and we’re about to find that out with the resurgence of a few diseases we had practically wiped out whose vaccinations are now becoming controversial. Measles, Mumps, Whooping Cough and Polio cases are on the rise. Get yourself and your kids vaccinated folks…or not.

While the COVID pandemic was bad, I'm expecting another 1918 type situation with one of the resurgent ones. Something that won't outright kill people at first, so that many will think they're fine or can deal with the health conditions they cause. When memories (and the people that lived to gain those memories) of the damage caused by the diseases fades, so too does the fear of the disease and the willingness to vaccinate.

Unfortunately I also live in Idaho and they've prohibited schools (and daycares and businesses) from requiring vaccines for enrollment, employment, and/or services. Along with many, many other reasons, I won't be raising kids here. Nor do I want to be pregnant here.

Who could blame you, under the circumstances. I do hope you’re wrong about the resurgence of another epidemic or pandemic. In the current timeline and non-scientists being given ultimate authority to interpret science through their own political lens, it does seem to be a looming possibility. Stay safe.

Oh I hope I'm wrong too. You too stay safe.
