What's Worse??

Try Again

You've demonstrated some incredible ignorance, Mitch.  

Foolish people do foolish things, one of those foolish things, is attacking others for not doing what you construe as 'right and proper'.

As a free human being in the United States, you have a right to your opinion, just as any other, however, your judgement on your situation in no way constitutes that upon others.

Your construance of what you feel proper, is based on your judgement, which is based on your observation (or lack therof), and your assessment (or lack thereof), and is in no way regulation of others.

If you fail to understand the biochemical science of DNA/RNA/TRNA, or were intellectually incapacitated during the three-day-section of 6th grade genetics, there's plenty of good reading to be found in any introductory textbook.  Failure to understand not only HOW viruses work, and HOW genetic splices occur (which is what a virus does), does not constitute an educated stance on vaccination, and it certainly grants one no standing on subjugation of others to bow to your, or any OTHER mass-ignorance opinon.

In contrast, while I DID pay attention in class, and while I cannot immediately identify all the states of cyclic and noncyclic photophosphorilization, I DO remember what Kreb's Cycle does, and I understand enough about RNA transformation to recognize the wide range of hazards of unnecessary medical action. 

Based on that, and the fact that vaccination will neither keep an individual from GETTING or nor Transmitting a disease (It will only help reduce symptoms in SOME cases), that the only substantial benefit is for those who are immunocompromised or not strong enough to overcome it's affects.  The most unlikely to recover should consider vaccination on their own, and those who won't have any difficulty with it, need not be concerned.

Why would I make a statement like this?  Simple: ANY vaccination has side effects, and they vary with individuals, and they are not only an equal or greater risk, than the affliction, they are assured:  The administration of a vaccination means that you've been exposed to a foriegn substance which WILL have some side effect.  The presence of a virus in society is totally irrelevant unless one is actually exposed to a contagien which may, or may not pose any effect.

As an aside note, it is very well correlated that more vehiclular accidents, more on-the-job accidents, more deaths, injuries, more birth defects (including autism, and myriads of syndromes) are correlated to alcohol and drugs, than any other source, yet the use of alcohol and drugs has NOT been mandated out.

Also note, 80mph is a legal speed limit in many places... and IIRC, last time I was on I-15 going south from Salt Lake City towards Cedar City, Utah, the speed limit was 85.  I was unfortunately not able to get past 79mph, so I was very much 'a danger' to normal traffic.  What SHOULD be outlawed, is distractive features (menu-driven touch-screen video displays) and 'self-driving' features of cars... i.e. 'lane assistance', 'anti-collision', 'stability control', and 'adaptive cruise control', as they very clearly invite complacency and reliance by those who are clearly to easily distracted or chemically impaired to be safe behind the wheel.

So the short answer is:

Your stupid choice doesn't constitute my stupid choice.  If you choose to die by your own stupid choices, you are more than welcome to, I'll reserve the right to choose my own.

Please move this thread, and any others you concoct, to the political forum, as it is NOT worthy of anything more.
