Evidence some seem to suffer because of the anti vaxx movement

Dear belly,

It is an illustration, from individual's responses, of the difficulty the rightwing have with this issue.

They are very much about individual rights being superior or trumping the communal rights of our society. Therefore if a person chooses to exercise their individual rights by refusing to have their children vaccinated, then the ethics of the rightwingers should mean they are wholeheartedly supported, especially if the State does something punitive like refusing child payments as a result of that refusal.

But there is an element of 'law and order' at play here too. Anti-vaxxers are often lumped in with anarchistic fringe types which the right usually abhor.

So we can forgive individual's reticence to take a firm stance on anti-vaxxers.

There is also the far left ideology which sees the pharmaceutical industry as an evil capitalist enterprise. Conspiracy theories are rife at the political extremes. Ideology affects how people evaluate evidence. I think it something we all need to be aware of when forming an opinion.

With vaccination the key is to keep things mundane. Coming down heavy on anti-vaxers is just fuel for the extremists.

So we can forgive individual's reticence to take a firm stance on anti-vaxxers.
Steele redux,

steele redux to be honest it is refreshing to see a normal balanced post in this thread
Not surprising to see festers either
As we wallow in the mud Trump like right are producing, it is interesting to see basic wish to protect children used to trash one side of politics
Any want to explain why
How can an issue about health, even life and death, of kids, become left v right
This issue, read the recent link, is growing, its victims are dying
While a left v right verbal war may please some how is it contributing to answers

Just watched a program where medical researchers are finding that the more we fight decease the more harmful microbes are getting the upper hand.
