“I care about the nearly million dollars it cost to save this kid..my tax dollars or my insurance rates paid for his ‘freedom’”
Some might say the same about the more than 4 billion paid by the government to compensate for vaccine injuries and death.
Does the misuse of tax dollars justify depriving people of their rights? I can remember a time when there were no collectivists on this forum. Now we’ve got loads that must think it was Reagan who coined the phrase “It takes a village to raise a child.”
There are many people who choose not to be vaccinated or not to get all recommended vaccinations for various reasons. Stories like this are just as rare as those who have been harmed by vaccines as supported by evidence.
The issue is more about rights. Who gets to decide which vaccinations are recommended or mandated?
Would you agree to be vaccinated for AIDS, Ebola, or cholera if these vaccines were put on the recommended list?
Why should someone compromise his or her immune system to protect against AIDS if he or she does not share needles or engage in sodomy?
Why should someone get vaccinated for cholera when sanitation is much more effective and safe?
Why should someone be vaccinated for Ebola if the likelihood of being exposed to this disease is nearly zero?
Vaccines have saved millions of lives and are very beneficial in general. But there are clearly people who are just pushing vaccines as a way to line their pockets. Not all vaccines are safe or effective. Many are not worth the risk of possible side effects.
The same is true with HIV and all the other diseases with easy ways to never get them.
