If you do believe that it's real with respect to the COVID-19 vaccines, what is your reasoning for advocating for "restraining" people who are concerned about this issue?
It is a degenerate form of the straw-man fallacy to bring up only the risks. Additionally, this kerfuffle is predicated on the totally false assertion that the state is taking parents out of the decision-making loop.
There is NO substance here. NOTHING.
There. You made me talk about the stupid thing. I hope you're happy.
There are people whose lives have been destroyed by vaccines. That isn't nothing. It seems they are just too much of a minority for you to care. Or you don't believe they exist. And that's why I asked you that question, because we can't have a conversation without understanding where each of us is coming from.
If you don't want to talk then don't talk. But don't attack and insult me. I'm not making you do anything.
I'm going to do what I need to survive. I will not be a sacrifice for your fake greater good.
There are several practical options for defending against respiratory infections. There are no practical options for defending against serious vaccine injury. We either cure ourselves or our lives are destroyed. We do not get any healthcare.
You are blinded by rage, self-pity, and a false sense that you are protecting others. Because you won the shit lottery, you think its more likely than it is, and it colors your perspective on vaccination. You have a better justification for your cognitive bias than most anti-vaxxers, but you're still just as wrong, dishonest, and deadly. Signing off.
I do not believe that I'm "protecting" people, and I certainly would not waste my time trying to protect able-bodied people who are fully capable of protecting themselves.
But I do work hard to help disabled people when they ask for help, particularly those with similar experiences to myself.
To be clear, I think vaccines do far more harm than good. I agree that serious, acute vaccine injury is very rare, but I would argue that a slow, debilitating degradation of health from vaccines is very very common. There is a rapidly growing body of research and real-world data indicating that vaccines significantly reduce our immune systems ability to defend against evolving viral threats. Short term, some vaccines appear to be a good idea, but long-term they may be a net-negative.
