Boy Its Easy To Scare People in the Home Of The Brave

It was a lighthearted, relaxed approach that mostly meant poor Alice just had to serve breakfast in bed for a few days.  Not like in the US today where EVERYTHING is an emergency and something, anything must be done!

In the 70s, if your child, named Kelly, got the measles you’d often invite her friends over so they could all get it and then enjoy immunity.

In the 2010s, your child is quarantined in a room in isolation left to wear only a paper gown. Various talking heads discuss how inconsiderate and anti-science her mother is. Kelly is taken by the state and her mom arrested for depraved indifference. Next election cycle some panderer wins on a platform to pass Kelly’s Law mandating everyone vaccinate or pay fines and face jail time.

Of course, with wonderful democracy, it is people like this who “vote” and demand these actions.

Now, there is even discussions with airlines in the US to demand vaccine proof before being allowed to fly.

Please don’t tell me that the thing that finally stripped Amerikans of their ability to travel wasn’t just the proposed national ID cards but was the threat of the measles!

It’s amazing just how scared and totalitarian many Amerikans are.  Some have been shrieking like banshees demanding that everyone is immediately forcibly vaccinated for the measles due to the dire threat!

The logic of the pro-vaxers is that everyone must be vaccinated for their own safety… but this logic makes no sense.  If they really believe vaccines work and they vaccinate themselves then the unvaccinated pose no risk to them.

And, to put it mildly, the record and evidence of vaccines, especially for things like “swine flu” is far from compelling.

In probably one of the most unbelievable cases, children in war torn Syria, which has been turned into near hell on Earth by the US government, were injected with the measles vaccine… because of course, when you are living in a war zone you should really be worried about getting the measles!  The result?  34 Syrian children died from taking the vaccine.

Even the history of vaccines and their effectivity is highly questionable.

I’m no expert on vaccines, other than my own mother being paralyzed after taking the Swine flu vaccine… so I won’t get into a long and detailed argument about the true risks and rewards of vaccines.

What I will do, however, is once again sit back and watch people in the “home of the brave” be scared to death that a few kids in the USSA got the measles and shake my head.
