The end product of bad science 14:24 - Dec 21 with 613 viewsStokieBlue

So the other month there was a debate on here about people not getting their kids vaccinated for chicken pox in the US. It was fairly vigorous but in the end many said “it’s just chicken pox, no need to be so worried”.

I don’t think the same argument can be made now. It’s inexcusable that people are dying of measles when it can be prevented. Making a decision not to vaccinate doesn’t just affect you and your family, it affects the herd immunity of the general populace.

Doesn’t it only affect the people who haven’t been vaccinated?

Alternatively, it's the end product of politicians in a knife-edge binary political system pandering to a group of morons to try and ensure they vote for them.

In the US the Republicans seem to be reliant on these idiots to win in many places, so actively encourage this crap rather than try and stamp it out.

That's fair, title maybe not the best but it does also involve very bad science pushed as facts.
