Okay conservatives, can y'all stop being so hard headed


May 13, 2017, 12:39 PM

for a bit?

"with one of the state's most conservative lawmakers saying vaccines weren't important for public health." Can't be serious, right?

Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.

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.

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

so how is that different from opposing vaccinations?


May 13, 2017, 2:51 PM

there's lotsa people around here opposed to vaccinations, I never understood their point of view.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Admittedly I don't know a ton about the


May 13, 2017, 3:19 PM

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.

May 13, 2017, 4:38 PM [ in reply to Re: The issue has always been about protecting those who ]

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.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Hurmph, who can't get vaccinated?


May 13, 2017, 3:26 PM [ in reply to The issue has always been about protecting those who ]

Do I really want to protect them? If I do, how can we switch gears and make it so they can get them?

May 13, 2017, 7:29 PM [ in reply to natural-born Americans should have the right to be stupid. ]

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.
