Anti-Vaxxer Sympathy

[Edwardo Piet]

There are two issues in your post - the first is people who deny their child a vaccination. This doesn't matter - it really doesn't. Individuals can choose not to vaccinate and it won't make a difference so long as you get 95% of children vaccinated.

So the 5% of children who don't get vaccinated and are in danger don't matter to you? I feel compassion for every child why the fuck shouldn't I care about the 5%? What on earth is wrong with you?

And 5% is a huge amount! That's one in 20 children if you were too fucking careless to remember.

So stop wasting time and effort on the few people who are actually opposed (which isn't very many), and instead concentrate on the people who aren't actively opposed, but have missed vaccinations for a variety of reasons. I guarantee you that it's possible to exceed 95% vaccination rates without worrying about the people who are actually anti-vaccination.

Every child matters, every individual matters, I care about them all. This collectivist morality of only caring about the majority is ridiculous and immoral and lacking in compassion.

The second issue is denying your a child lifesaving medical care. Again, in this instance it actually doesn't matter what parents want or believe, it should be possible for healthcare providers to provide certain treatments for children even if their parents are opposed.

The point is being against giving your child blood transfusions is wrong, if you have a problem with my statement then that is wrong of you because then you're the one lacking compassion for the very basic idea that children have a right to have blood transfusions when they need them. Which is all I was saying.

Whether the children end up having them or not - the parents who wished to deny them the blood transfusion are still terrible parents.
