All we need to get those number back up to near 100% is a huge plague that kills a good percentage of us. I hope that those of us who can learn from history are given the opportunity to get vaccinated. So all those who don't, die.

We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Can someone post a news article with this, not a video?
That's been their goal this entire time. We can call Americans stupid all day long but the fact of the matter is that there have been people at work pushing people this way all over the world since before a lot of us were even born. I remember when I was a kid in the early 2000s there were already kids in my class that were getting exemptions to vaccines before they were even using autism as an excuse to not get them.
I wonder how many support vaccines in dart guns?
Soon-to-be third world country
S-soon??
I wonder if there are some people on the American right who actually see it as a kind of Darwinian cleansing of their society.
They want to get rid of the week, the elderly, and the stupid, and this is a way for those people to self-select for extermination.
Of course there will be some collateral damage, but those who know better can protect themselves. You think that Trump and those around him don't have every vaccination that you've ever heard of, and probably some that you haven't?
Do you want people who think they are their god's chosen? Because this is how you get people who think they are their god's chosen...
They already think that, and it's not funny.

Florida, the childhood mortality state.
Florida, bury your children here.
Florida, where polio thrives
I know ill get downvoted for this anecdotal comment but I dont know a single person who is against vaccination. At the same time I do know a couple people who are against making it mandatory despite themselves being vaccinated. Just a viewpoint I never see discussed on this topic because the talking point always seems to be either you are pro vaccines or against vaccines. I also admit I dont have any social media platforms, dont pay for cable or streaming services, and dont have kids. So my anecdotal input is based of the people I directly know and are in contact with regularly so take it with a grain of salt.
I would fire back at you and say that I do not count among friends, anybody who thinks in an antivax mindset.
But that doesn't mean I haven't met them every single day for years.
I've had Uber drivers tell me there are microchips in vaccines.
Literally last week a thrift store worker was making snide comments to myself and other customers, suggesting we should have masks because she has an autoimmune disorder. She was not wearing a mask. I tried to explain to her that's not how any of it works, and she said oh yes, I've read about it. I ended the conversation abruptly when I said that I almost married a doctor and you might want to actually go speak to one yourself.
They're everywhere.
Anecdotally, I know many people who are anti-vax (mostly family). When I went to college, I found out my parents didn't get me a lot of the vaccines I was supposed to have, so had to get a bunch of vaccines before starting.

I need to get the fuck out of here.
Man I am such a child of the seventies. Favorite band jethro tull, think we are overpopulated, reduce, reuse, recycle, like scientific advancement, etc.
Oooohh boy.... We are all fucked.
Everybody collectively thought, "hmm yes, we don't have quite enough problems."
Big pharma and hospitals must be loving this.
Where do you think vaccines come from?
Horse paste is not made by big pharma.
