What the fuck? You're aware that we vaccinate children for a lot of things, right?
It's not evil, it's common sense. COVID may be the first pandemic you've lived through/remembered, but it's not the first pandemic, and there are far more dangerous diseases out there we don't want coming back.
I was vaccinated as a child of things i am still immune to today.
- anoncake 5y ago> You're aware that we vaccinate children for a lot of things, right? Yes. So they don't get sick, i.e. it's for their own benefit.
- DanBC 5y agoWe also vaccinate them so they don't infect people who can't be vaccinated.
- anoncake 5y agoIf their own health wouldn't justify a vaccination, we should stop that. They can still consent to get vaccinated out of altruism when they're adult.
- cout 5y agoInsurance might not cover some vaccinations for an adult. I know for certain this is the case for HPV; it may also be true for others.
- scrollaway 5y agoThankfully, you don't make health policy. Stay away from legislation.
