The core problem with all this anti-vax bullshit, is that Vaccines worked..and they worked too well.

We have entire generations now that have never seen the terrible consequences of Polio, Smallpox, Measels (Although thats quickly changing, Go America! /s), or any other disease thats been eliminated (at least at one point.. Go America! /s) from popular concern and conscious.

and as a result, they have no idea what crippling horrors that they have been, and are actively, protected from.

and because humans are, generally, stupid and irrational and a lot of them lack the capability to think about anything beyond what they can see within 3 feet around them, they scream about the vaccines and call them evil because they have absolute no experience with the alternative, which is the diseases themselves.

True for peace time as well. Very few people arguing for war has actually ever seen combat.

Yep. In this case: rules are written in blood, yet some people forget why they are here in the first place.

Only to inevitably find out "holy shit, now i get it"

Don’t forget scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, puerperal fever, and the plague!
