“We Hasidim have been chosen as the target,”...
Yeah and I agree but this case is a HUGE exception.
The measles vaccine??
So we’re supposed to put ALL of our elderly and young folks at risk because of them.
Er, NO.
Maybe you should read the first line where one family said De Blasio spread the measles among them to make them targets.
He’s a nut de blasio.
That comment is nuttier.
I’m the elderly. Myself my sister and brother all had the measles. No big deal. We also had the chicken pox and I had those nasty shingles and medicine made it not so bad.
The elderly all had the measles for the most part.
My kids had the vaccine. Either way the ones that have to worry are the young. And they can handle it a lot better than the adults.
My big problem with the whole thing is the slime from $h!thole country’s who bring in these diseases. Block that.
One man's negative externality is another man's positive externality. Mayor Bloomberg took this to an extreme by banning smoking in NYC clubs. All the anti-smoking people were thrilled....and scores of clubs went out of business and good live music that doesn't cost an arm and a leg is hard to find (there are still some places on Bleecker St). Personally, as a freedom-loving non-smoker, I'd have preferred that the ban never be enacted.
The core concept of the Capital Asset Pricing Model is that risk can be diversified away except for that which is idiosyncratic to the firm. Similarly, in a free society, there is a base level of idiosyncratic risk which we CANNOT eliminate...people will drive drunk, commit crime, murder, they will do drugs, overeat, mishandle firearms, listen to Bruce Springsteen, and perhaps they won't immunize their kids and little Bobby may cough on you.
I'm not willing to give Leviathan the power to diversify away the idiosyncratic risk of freedom. It wouldn't work anyway, and it's the first step toward despotism.
