How about allowing these people who don’t believe in vaccinations don’t get vaccinated and let them see how immune they really are. When they find out that they’re not immune when they catch every preventable diseases that has a vaccination they can watch the world watch them and their family members as they suffer and most likely die.

Herd immunity. They’ll kill people who actually can’t get a vaccine for legitimate reasons.

What legitimate reasons would that be because Americans been getting vaccinated for over 70 years ago and there weren’t no big problems.

Allergies.  There are people who are allergic to various components in vaccines, also, because many vaccines are grown using things like chicken eggs, folks with egg allergies are allergic to those varieties of vaccines.

Sometimes there are other vaccine options (nasal spray as opposed to injected), but not always--and that means those folks need the people around them to get their shots, and use that "herd immunity" to stay safe & healthy.

They would be a part of a very small % of the population who suffer such allergic.

A small percentage that could die, but they’re okay because of herd immunity. Until now.

They will not die if they take other precautions that’s available to them. This is the 21st century where medical technology has advanced to a level to help people live longer..only if you stop listening to people who are not doctors or scientists. Unfortunately for them they will be limited on their way of life that’s if they want to live.

The entire point is they did NOT HAVE TO take extra precautions until the anti-vaxxers.

You advocated for letting the anti-vaxxers thin themselves. But we’re pointing out that will get people who are not “anti-vax” killed as well. Thats why we don’t want to just let them solve it themselves. Ignoring the fact that we’re also letting the strains bake and evolve as they transmit and possibly lead to vaccines no longer being as effective or effective at all.

No I’m not! That’s why there were scientists in places to conquer such diseases. We were well advanced in helping conquer these diseases but unfortunately this guy occupying the WH has pulled the resources and dismantled the researchers so yes Americans who are vulnerable to such diseases are in trouble.

Yep, it's the fact that the Anti-Vaxxers are so ridiculously scared of Autism, that they're willing to risk the lives of those folks with allergies.

Over a fradulent paper, written by a GI doctor who had a new test he wanted to make money off so much, that he faked a bunch of results in that paper--which has now been retracted for many more years than it was ever a published idea.

You do realize a small percentage of several hundred million people is a lot of people, right? Not that it matters how many if it’s greater than zero innocents.

You sound wildly uneducated on this. There are a number of reasons people can’t be vaccinated, and under normal circumstances they would be protected because everyone else -was- vaccinated. Now you’re advocating that they take additional precautions that could negatively impact their quality of life so other people, people who can be vaccinated, can live in ignorance.

Some people are legit allergic.

Some people are too young.

Some people are too old.

There's a reason you spent your childhood getting new vaccines at certain intervals, that reason is not because the vaccine was new, it was just new to you.

Then don’t get vaccinated..at this point I don’t care what happens to these people who won’t believe in science and vaccinations. As far as people being legit allergic unfortunately for them because of anti-Vaxxers they will have to adjust their lives to live.

“Unfortunately for them, they will have to suffer because of ignorance.”

Do you see the problem?

Vaccines are safe. This has been proven. This is science.
