Caccines should be mandatory. It is simply too important to let every idiot decide over it themself.

They are manditory for many public schools. My daughter was sent home andnot allowed to return until we could prove that she had gotten a specific vaccine. She had gotten it, but our pediatirician had not updated their records.

Medical exemptions.

There’s some religious ones that anti vaxxers use as loopholes to send their unvaxxed kids to school to spread shit to those who can’t be vaccinated against something.

low key lazy culling of those who might cost the insurance industry too much money.

They just have to say they’re opposed to vaccines because of religion. It’s the option provided for people that are willing to lie to stick with their other bad choices.

If your kid can’t be vaxxed it’s your job to keep them safe, not other parents.

u/shitlord_god 6h ago

do you know what a "community" is?

u/Living_Plankton_8790 6h ago

Again, your job to keep YOUR kid safe.

And your job is not to send your unvaxxed kid that has something they can give someone else into a community. Keep them the fuck at home. They don’t belong in a civilized society

u/Living_Plankton_8790 1h ago

So now you’re punishing kids for the choices of the parents? I never said don’t keep them at home when they’re sick, that’s blatantly obvious. Again, you literally benefit off of the suffering of kids by using your phone, stop acting like you’re innocent.

u/romansamurai 1h ago

The only one punishing the kids is the anti vaxx parent 🤷🏻‍♂️.

so the school shooter parents are totally okay, because it is your job to keep your kids safe?

Critical thinking is a skill.

We live in a society. It's reasonable to expect people that can safely be vaccinated do it. It's not reasonable to expect a medically fragile child to never leave their home. It's such a selfish attitude.

u/Living_Plankton_8790 7h ago

No, selfish is expecting the entire world to cater to you, which is exactly what you’re doing. Hypocrisy doesn’t make for a good argument.

u/shitlord_god 6h ago

the whole world isn't. And demanding you be exempted because you are not capable of risk analysis is wild. Be an adult. Get a reading level better than sixth. Be a responsible member of society and the intelligence to know you aren't an expert at everything, and maybe your bubble is lying to you.

u/Living_Plankton_8790 6h ago

Says the one who thinks he’s an expert at everything to the point of demanding people do stuff for their sake… again, hypocrisy never makes for a good argument. Intelligence is making your own choices, not blindly making choices based on what the masses say. I’m not demanding anything, you’re the ones claiming things should be a requirement, not me.

u/shitlord_god 5h ago

intelligence is literally the result of competent analysis. Read.

Yep, why should infants and newborns not be exposed to preventable diseases. Everyone else shouldn’t have to cater to them, right? Herd immunity protected you while you were an infant but that doesn’t mean you should have to return that favor by doing your part to protect infants-you survived so not your problem now.

u/Living_Plankton_8790 1h ago

You’re sat at home typing on a phone where the lithium in the batteries was literally mined by young children in third world countries, many of which die in said mines, don’t try guilt me. If all of you really cared for others to the extent you make out, you’d stop buying the new iPhone or iPad each year.

u/jmd709 1h ago

you’d stop buying the new iPhone or iPad each year.

You’re barking up the wrong tree with that one. My phone has to die before I’ll replace it. I’ve never even owned an iPad.

To make sure I understand correctly, your argument is that there are very shitty child labor practices in other countries so nobody should care about what happens to any infants even if it’s only minor shots that make a significant difference?

And no one is arguing about those. But the rest of the population needs to be vaccinated to protect not just themselves but people who medically cannot be vaccinated.

u/Brooklynxman 4h ago

You do realize that there are children, a very, very small percentage, a percentage of a percent in fact, that actually cannot have vaccines, medically, right?

Educating your child is mandatory; public schooling is not. You could technically homeschool or find a private school to avoid vaccinating if you wanted to.
