The plain fact is ..... 2
ZH is cussing out a Kraut official who wants to require all school students to be vaccinated.
First, this is NOT UNUSUAL. Until recently, all schools in USA required vaccinations. No exceptions. The exceptions have grown recently because the modern anti-vaxxers are COOOOOOOL people. Super-rich technoid libertarians and Progressives.
In previous eras the anti-vaxxers were Birchers and poor "religious zealots". Unpersons need not apply.
The technoids want us to think that mandatory vax is tyranny, and the alternative is "freedom".
The last sentence of the ZH article shows the truth without even realizing it:
"Compulsory vaccinations are therefore counter-productive," she said, suggesting that instead "We need a better public health service."
How does a better public health service deal with a deadly epidemic? A better public health service quarantines infected people and locks them into hospitals. That's the "freedom" you want. That's the plain unavoidable fact.
Globalism vs localism, central vs modular.
Humans are designed with built-in individual modular immune systems. Vax
boosts the power of our immune systems. Vax is SELF-DEFENSE. It's the microbial equivalent of owning a gun or a Rottweiler.
When you encourage people to do without SELF-DEFENSE, you have two choices. Either you provide total police coverage with total surveillance, or you allow crime/disease to run rampant. No other alternatives.
