Separate But Equal..I think I have heard this one before.

It is time to act before we relive history. President Biden (or whoever happens to be running the show) is setting up a system in which a minority of the population could be deprived of job opportunities, the ability to travel freely and the right to equal medical treatment. We must stand up now and say no.

what are your thoughts on vaccination schedules for kids ?

[@humblepeanut3763]

I will be completely open about this. I do not agree with the use of vaccines for most childhood illnesses. I respect a parents right to chose what vaccines (if any) to give to their child as long as they are aware of the most recent data. It is my opinion that the medical community has time and time again tried intervention therapies in healthy individuals and has repeatedly found that they cannot do a better job than 4billion years of evolution in maintaining a healthy population. I accept that I could be wrong, but I expect that we all respect one another's bodily autonomy.

@@humblepeanut3763 whose bodily autonomy needs to be respected in the case of childhood vaccines ?

[@humblepeanut3763]

@@joshmuir8058 Tricky. Children do not have bodily autonomy. There doesn't seem to be an alternative to parents (the people that theoretically care the most for them) choosing the best path for them. Otherwise we are allowing the state or communities (those that do not care for the children nearly as much on average) to apply a one size fits all policy that may end up being detrimental to many or most kids. I am open to a different opinion on the matter.
