A movement with a distorted sense of individual rights that would seek to hamper vaccination in the midst of a global health crisis is reactionary to the core and hostile to human life itself. The dangerous rise of the anti-vax far-right is a symptom of a sickness in this society that we will still be confronting well after the last wave of the pandemic has finally receded.
Yeah, it’s pretty transparent lefty propaganda. Whatever happened to “my body my choice”? If I want to murder my unborn child, that’s fine, but if I don’t want to inject an experimental vaccine into my body to avoid a 0.0001% risk of death, I’m a lunatic trying to kill everyone?
It’s proof even liberals don’t even completely trust the vaccine, since if they believed it worked, it wouldn’t matter if you took it or not.
The real dangerous aspect to this is there’s no exit strategy to the left’s vision. Scientists are predicting Covid isn’t going away. It’s literally a strain of the flu, which mutates every year, just like the flu. If you believe huge sections of the economy have to be shut down, and everyone has to take rushed expensive vaccines twice a year, and we can’t be within 6 feet of another living person, or else everyone’s going to die, you’ll be living like that for the rest of your life.
Of course, the pharma industry is loving all this fear, propaganda and paranoia. They’re racking in the cash. All while being immune to lawsuits over injury as a result of their “completely safe” vaccines.
I believe you are referring to parentalist attitude to people’s own health, which I have no taste for either. Some doctors and businessmen get driven by this power of telling people what to do, and choosing who dies and who lives (this behavior is not specific to medicine, naturally). Beyond that, apparently there is a limited scope for arguing here, as the policy of banning discussions on public health is most unclear on this Lemmy instance.
