To Vaccinate or Not

[Jade]

Q: Do you feel that no-one should be vaccinated?

(or just you and certain others who don't wish to vaccinate?
(therefore: relying on and benefiting from the protection from disease that happens when other people DO vaccinate? ("herd immunity"))

Q: What DO you feel we should do to combat lethal and life-threatening diseases?

A1) I feel that people should have a choice, with everything, as this is the density of choice and when we start telling people what to do is when things start to go wrong.

A2) I feel people should listen first and foremost to their own bodies and do what their bodies tell them to do - if someone feels fit and healthy, that's the hurdle and they are good to go. If someone is sickly, then they need to find the cause of what is making them sick and try to remedy the situation. If they don't want to, that's again their choice. I think what we need to spend more time combating is the FEAR of lethal and life-threatening diseases. I'm not 100% sure that death is as scary and devastating as we all make it out to be.

I want to try to help point out some of the cognitive dissonance:

I hear "If you are anti-vax, you are pro-disease!"

This is the same with the abortion argument. "If you aren't pro-life, you're PRO-ABORTION!" Nobody is PRO-ABORTION. Just like nobody is PRO-DISEASE (except arguably the AMA). That's why we call it pro-CHOICE. Saying "if you don't vaccinate you could cause an outbreak!" is like saying, "Well, if you abort your child, you could be aborting the doctor who has the cure for cancer!!" These are future possibilities with a one and a billion chance, and these thoughts are not rooted in our true purpose, which is to do our best to live to our highest potential in the present moment.

Handing over our rights to our government is the slipperiest of slopes. I support individuals being able to choose what sort of alterations they make to their native body complex.
