I'm old enough that I had measles as a kid, my grandma had polio as a kid wore a leg brace her entire life, rubella and the associated birth defects were a thing in the community - when I was a kid EVERYONE was a pro-vaxxer, they were the medical miracle that were changing people's lives - IMHO the main reason we have antivaxxers today is because we haven't been telling these family stories to our kids
Why not go for herd immunity? maybe we should be releasing (suitably tested) live vaccines
- cblconfederate 5y agoI should have said there are 2 meanings of antivaxer in this context. One is the kooks who are/were against all vaccines and nother is the people who are suspicious of the covid vaccines. Those groups are separate and must be treated differently Herd immunity in the general population will probably be impossible unless the areas that reach it choose to lock themselves from the rest of the world https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/28/opinion/herd-immunity-covid-us.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/28/opinion/herd-immunity-cov...
