Anti Vaccers (or Homo Antivaccis) are an evolutionary dead-end!
Humans have experimented, mainly to our benefit, throughout history.
Imagine our nomadic forebears turning up in new places with no food or shelter and having to make do. Experimentation or the trial and error in using new foliage for shelter, eating new leaves and berries and hunting new prey for sustenance is what got us here.
The gradual systematisation of that experimentation gave us science!
Not long ago, if you needed an operation, you had to bite down on anything you could get your hands on, or be physically knocked out while they amputated your arm or operated on your intestines.
Now, thanks to anaesthetic, you just wake up sore and singing Mariah Carey.
Then there is penicillin.
If Dr Alexander Fleming had not left a Petri dish of Staphylococcus bacteria lying around when he went on holiday in 1928, only to find an interesting mould growing upon his return, we’d still be losing millions of people a year to simple bacterial infections.
Polio - no explanation needed.
As a result of these advances, our population has grown exponentially recently, unlike in any other time of human history.
Today we’ve been so successful that we have produced a sub-set of society so privileged and sheltered from the tragedies of astronomical infant mortality and short life expectancies of days gone by.
This is a “group” of people who are not homogeneous except in their distrust of medical science and/or authority. Some use religion or other deified systems (Q, Trump, Telegram etc), some use distrust of big pharma, some believe blindly in what some guy said. Either way, whilst they are a minor threat to the rest of us and more so to the immunocompromised, not to mention the impact on medical system, hopefully, this is a short lived phenomenon.
One day we will have an island or planet to put them on, but for now, they feel that their rights are above all others and that they should be allowed to walk among us, the majority that plot further up the rationality spectrum.
Science is not a religion, it is still changing daily and is based on findings, best guesses, experimentation and good old trial and error. That’s how you change, adapt, innovate, improve and survive.
