Given how recently democratic western governments have conducted eugenics programs, I would be uncomfortable with any law that enforces mandatory injections for children - even for vaccines.
- tapland 7y agoThe cutoff isnt at injections here. Its way past that somewhere between vaccine and poison.
- ophsj 7y agoSo fucking tired of the nazism argument. Nobody cares about nazis anymore, nobody would even remember them if we weren't bombarded by American propaganda all day.
- hobs 7y agoRight wing populism is on the rise across the world; it is not a uniquely american problem.
- layoutIfNeeded 7y agoOf which one reason is that people cried nazism too many times in the past, and now nobody takes them seriously outside their filter bubbles. The boy who cied wolf, basically.
- alistairSH 7y agoThe US practiced eugenics well before the Nazi movement began. And then we have other horrible things like the Tuskegee syphilis experiments. Followed up by Operation Sea-Spray. The various US governments have done some pretty horrible things to its citizens over the years. Citizens should be rightly dubious of mandated medical treatments. That said, vaccines are good. Please get your kids vaccinated.
- Hitton 7y agoThe propaganda obviously left traces on you, because eugenics weren't done just by Nazis. I assume what DC-3 was referring to, were forced sterilization which were being done in Nordic countries till seventies. For more info I would recommend book "Eugenics and the Welfare State: Sterilization Policy in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland".
- realusername 7y agoYour comment does not make any sense, what's the link between Nazi eugenics programs and vaccination campaigns?
- lxwang 7y agoOne reason people refuse vaccination is that they are worried the vaccines are secretly an attempt to sterilize undesirable segments of the population. For example, see what happened with the tetanus vaccine in Kenya in 2014. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/tetanus-vaccine-sterilization/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/tetanus-vaccine-sterilizat...
