Federal funding cuts to immunization efforts and a new law that allows exemption forms to be downloaded, instead of mailed, could drive up exemptions in the future.
You would think at this point, after a global pandemic, that people would understand that the unvaccinated aren’t just risks to themselves, they’re risks to everyone. Vaccination is not a silver bullet for viruses. It requires herd immunity. These people are essentially walking contagions, infecting everyone around them.
Unfortunately, the number of people who can understand things without the news telling them what to think is a much smaller segment than we’d like. And double unfortunately, the news is motivated by things other than the public good when deciding how to report on vaccines.
I mean I learned what I know from the news as well. I just don’t accept it as gospel, I expect them to cite authorities on the subject. But not the authorities that bathe in sewage runoff.
If you’re concerned with their sources and/or spend time verifying the legitimacy of their sources for yourself, you’re doing more work than like 90% of the population my friend
