As vaccines are not 100% effective at saving individuals but "herd immunity" can eliminate viruses despite that if vaccination is widespread, the people killed by anti-vaxxers are often not anti-vaxxers or even anti-vaxxers' kids. Especially not with a virus like Covid.
Technically the gullible and mendacious killing the vulnerable is natural selection, but you'll have a tough job convincing me the right of morons to an mass audience on certain websites takes precedence over the right of older people to live
- Retric 5y agoThat’s a well reasoned counter argument, but the tone is overly hostile.
- notahacker 5y agoFair point (although I wasn't the first person in the thread to use a derogatory term about antivaxxers, and probably wouldn't use it if I actually expected there were plenty of people somewhat sympathetic to their arguments browsing this forum) I do think the fact that people die as a result of this messaging is worth emphasising though, particularly when weighed against the supposed human right to use Facebook to disseminate their speech.
