    I am fine with them withdrawing shots if they can effectively prove the disease has been eradicated. For instance, we no longer give small pox vaccinations.

    I highly doubt this is what they are doing.

    Here in Germany most vaccinations are voluntary. The government may strongly advice to get a certain vaccination, but only for measles there is an obligation to get children vaccinated.

      Out of curiosity, do you know how many people opt not to get them? USA has a growing prevalence of vaccine hesitancy/anti science that gets concentrated amongst regions/social groups. It’s an issue IMO because you get areas with low herd immunity, but if we didn’t have that problem and the vast majority of people were on board then having them be voluntary wouldn’t be an issue to me. In the current state of affairs I think it’s too dangerous to have them be voluntary in the USA.

    Start investing in Iron Lung companies. Their stock price is about to go way up.

    But Dr. Milhoan said that making the vaccines optional, rather than requiring them for entry into public schools nationwide, as is now the case, would ultimately restore trust in public health.

    So, they already are optional. It’s just that there are consequences for choosing that option (can’t get into public schools), and Republicans hate consequences. Except, dying from measles, or getting paralyzed by polio, are also consequences.

    I’m beginning to think that this is really just a ploy to make public schools unsafe, so that people that can afford it shift to for profit private schools, which of course will be allowed to continue to require vaccines.

      You certainly can’t have centralized education without mandatory vaccination. It would be too great of a vector for mass infections.

    Honestly at this point is pretty obvious that USA owners have decided to depopulate the place now that robots and ai are coming.

    The rich right have private enclaves and unlimited medical access so they are fine with this. The poor right has horse medication and bleach.

      Someone comes as a tourist infectetd? Or maybe like 2022 when it was found in New Yorks waste water in 4 counties. But i’m not arguing. No one who thinks they should not vaccinate is fine for me and i hope not that they are getting infected. The main reason why people can decide that way is because others have decided to take the “risk” and go for a vaccine to make the virus virtually disappear. And this kind of bendy-twisty moral is wehre i have problems understanding the rationality of those people. But hey why not, the palestinias did nothing wrong after all…
