Why is there a push against vaccines? Is it paranoia, propaganda fears that it turns you into a slave or do they just want to make sure the healthcare system makes more money?
I think the main reason is the people who experienced the time before vaccines are dead. Vaccines were always scary but back then the people could see that they prevented bad outcomes. My grandmother grew up with kids crippled by the polio epidemic!
People today just don't know anymore how scary measles is. We lost that knowledge thanks to the success of vaccines!

Yep. My late father was recruited to vaccinate people in the big polio epidemic in Argentina, probably in 1956. He was still in high school, but it was the oral vaccine and they needed all hands available.
Yup the technical term is survivorship bias.
Likely it’s all of the above.
The original fake study published by Wakefield to push a link between vaccines and autism was directly benefiting him financially through undisclosed interests in a competing vaccine.

ah my home state. Many people here just have lost faith in science and the elites and just believe whatever political junk they are watching. Somehow letting your kid get measles is owning the libs. I don't understand it but am content to just watch it play out after many fruitless conversations. Eventually when enough bad things happen they'll hopefully come back to their senses.
