liberals decrying the dangers of vaccines. Then California, liberal ground zero, started to face the consequences. Now they're a liberal cause.
Whatever.

although maybe the cost of no vaccinations to Our Society is higher than other ways to express your right to be stupid, like the no-helmet law in SC. Greater good, all that.

For clarity, I hate helmet and seat belt laws. I don't have a motorcycle and would probably wear a full helmet if I got one, but the man should not be able to tell me I have to.

vacancies and what all they prevent. I also don't know if it is possible for those who got vaccinated to still get it. If only the non-vaccinated can catch the stuff, then let them all suffer as they will. If it is possible to transmit to people who have had the shots, then it is a public concern. Also, this is more about why conservatives have fully turned on science.
Seat belt and helmet laws really only affect those that elect not to use them, their families, and maybe the unfortunate soul they may get in an crash with. There is the argument about insurance rates but I am not sure how much that really comes into play.

vaccinated get sick and have their entire immune systems wiped out by chemicals. They then need those other healthy young children to make sure they won't beat cancer to die of the measles.

just means you're more likely to kill yourself. No vaccines means you're more likely to kill other people. THAT's the difference. And with that being said, I have no problem with withholding social security, medicaid, food stamps, education, or whatever.
