Mate i work at the hospital i mentioned in my post above. Im giving an insight into whats happening. I watched my ex struggle to get employment as a nurse after graduating here during the outbreak of the pandemic, simply because she was born in Nepal. If you're going to ask a condescending sarcastic question you can cram it.
We will never be disease free. However, we can die less of preventable diseases through modern medicine, then we breed less, therefore the population actually lowers. This is proven to occur everywhere in the world. As death rates drop, so do birth rates.
I would suggest you bash your brother/sister if the reason you got it was he was unvaccinated. However, given there is no vaccine for croup, obviously not.
I will. And I will vaccinate my kids.
What work have the vaccinated done? They've accepted the small chance they could get sick or die from being vaccinated so that themselves and millions of others don't die from preventable diseases. They've accepted this risk to create the herd immunity that you take for granted. You haven't paid your dues, but you're taking advantage of the benefits. It is the very definition of a freeloader.
You should put your kids at a 1/1,000,000 risk so we all don't face a 1/10,000 risk, including your kids, who actually face more a 1/1,000 risk if there are more people out there who choose not to vaccinate.
i very rarely see the "logic" in your posts
but no, that's not what im saying. im saying that we ALL accept the (very minor) risks associated with vaccination so that those that CAN'T protect themselves (new borns, people with specific medical conditions) benefit from the herd immunity.
what you said above was that you will freeload off the herd immunity guaranteed by others, without taking the same (very minor) risks with your own family. so no, it's really you that thinks people should risk their kids to benefit yours.
If you do actually think they are deserving of a better life, you should probably get them vaccinated so they don't die of a preventable disease.
Of course I do. For example, I will rely on everyone to be vaccinated so my kid doesn't die before he/she can be vaccinated. However, I won't be a freeloader as they will get vaccinated when they can.
Assuming my imaginary kids do use medicare, that doesn't make me a freeloader as I pay tax. However, I will no doubt also have imaginary private health insurance for my imaginary kids.
