It just baffles me how people are shamed, and basically accused of attempted murder, and excluded from society in terms of public events, air travel, immigration, etc. when they make a choice about what to do with their own bodies in a medical situation. Do people in a free nation enjoy the right to choose treatment for our own bodies? Don't come at me about potential harm or risks that are measured in single-percentage-points. Vaccination is not the be-all, end-all of infection control.
- AuthorizedCust 3y ago> Vaccination is not the be-all, end-all of infection control. For many diseases, it is, and we’re better off for that. E.g., measles.
- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoWe're better off without any other defense from viral infection? We have no other defense from measles except vaccination? Are you saying that, for measles, quarantines are ineffective, isolation is ineffective, negative pressure rooms are ineffective, contact tracing is ineffective? And we're better off because those are ineffective and we only have a single layer of defense? I'm a trained and experienced Cybersecurity professional, and by analogy to our Defense in Depth concepts, we're better off when there are multiple effective, overlapping, simultaneous defenses against some kind of attack. I think it would be foolish to abolish other defensive measures against measles only because vaccines are allegedly so effective. I knew a guy whose Linux login password was "abc", because he used MFA he said he didn't care.
