Herd immunity only works if a population has high vaccination rates. With that most kids won't come into contact with the virus. This protects not just kids never vaccinated but also kids whose vaccination didn't take. Once vaccination rates lower, enough of a population of vulnerable individuals will exist for a virus to create an epidemic.
As far as government forcing the issue, I believe that children are not property. If a parent is keeping the child isolated from the general population, no vaccines is fine. Once that kid goes to public school, I would require vaccinations. Institutional settings = germ stew. Cheers back at ya.
First, I’m forced to pay for government “schools”. Then, I’m forced to send my children to one of them 5 days a week if I don’t have the means to pay for private education (which is also under government control) or home school. And, to top it off, since I’m sending my children to the “schools”, I’m then forced to inject my children with a product that might kill him.
Am I understanding your opinion correctly? And you consider yourself pro-freedom?
Before the vaccine, the chicken pox virus was always around and people would come in contact with it many times in their lives. Each contact essentially boosts the immunity of those who already had chicken pox. Since the virus isn’t around very much anymore, people don’t get chicken pox and they don’t got immunity boosters very often. And so, when they are exposed more people get shingles. Of course, if any of this was actually debated decades ago, then Americans would not have chosen to vaccinate against chicken pox. But Americans are obedient and did what they were told.
The chicken pox vaccination is a scam. It is just a way to separate fools from their money. That’s all.
