Canada just lost its measles-free status. So here’s the question…
If an unvaccinated child spreads measles to someone else’s kid, why shouldn’t the parents be liable in small-claims court?
I’m not talking about criminal charges, just basic responsibility. If your choice creates the risk you should have to prove you weren’t the reason someone else’s child got sick.
Is that unreasonable?
this is the disturbing reality of the current attitude. People have no idea how important body sovereignty is.
The most disturbing thing about reality is that we have morons opting their children and neighbors into preventable diseases because of absurd lies they read on Facebook.
Nah. It’s not concerning that otherwise intelligent people can’t figure out how to deal with their own lives without resorting to controlling others.
Are you an anti-vaxxer?
I think most people are ok with you choosing to not vaccinate. The problem is when you choose to inflict that decision on others.
Not vaccinating and not isolating yourself is violating everyone else’s body sovereignty.
I don’t care if you host diseases. I absolutely do care about you spreading them.
Except that we are also actively destroying species immunity and replacing that with a different layer of existence - technology.
While I appreciate that vaccines exist, those who choose not to take them are (wheher selfishly, selflessly, intelligently, or srupidly) actively maintaining species genetic integrity by volunteering to die or be severely hinderedif they can’t handle the disease biologically without significant technological intrusion.
Those who force others, force others. The first apparent violation of sovereignty is the virus affecting a human. We are all susceptible to that. The next is:
Fortunately, for most circumstances, there’s a way to protect oneself against the latter: Get yourself a vaccine. I do, in some cases. But I sure as hell respect the sacrifice that others, wittingly or not, make by not getting it.
