You can thank anti vax religious groups.
Religion is the gateway drug. If you can get people to believe that, you can get them to believe anything.
It's the hippies in my area that are the anti vaxxers.
its as if it has nothing to do with religion or being a hippie and all about being on extreme ends of the political spectrum.
My friends aren't extremist. It's just a fundamental distrust of our government, which given our current states, is justified, rationally or not.
its justified? yikes im glad im anti-social
You trust your government and who it's working for?
yeah why? are you actually going to argue vaccines right now?
My argument isn't about vaccines. It's just anecdotal reasons behind the motivations of certain groups. I'm not anti-vax because I have a bit of understanding of the science behind it. But blindly trusting your government is also dangerous.
man so many people on here live existing lives being paranoid.
It's not just here, it's everywhere. Conspiracy theories run rampant in all places. No one is able to trust anything when there's so much mis/disinformation out there.
im ok. i dont walk though everyday paranoid about this stuff, im more paranoid about my health because of how i eat.
That's fair. Self care is important. I wish you well in your efforts.
no, i have BPD so im just fucked up and eat bad shit sometimes dispite not wanting to die from a heart attack or stroke. im more concered about that then going outside and being scared.
am religious, still got my vaccines and going for my COVID and Flu next week. next generalizing you would like to make?
Talk about generalization, guess you are not Mennonite then. They were the main spreaders. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-measles-outbreak-taber-alberta-vaccines-faith-small-town/
i get that but its not the fault of religion. not every religious person is anti-vaxx
No, but many religions are.
well im roman catholic, and from what i've read in the bible and from what the pope hasn't said about vaccines, theres nothing i find that stops me from taking it that's against my faith, and i also don't take the bible literally as of course there are things that i consider not "cannon" anymore (like the topics on homosexuals, i support gay rights).
