MANLY ADVICE FOR MY CALIFORNIA ANTI-VAXXER FRIENDS�
BYRICHARD JAFFE JD
Ok, some of you were put-off by the �anti-vaxxer� moniker in my last
article. Some suggested you�re all health freedom fighters. I�m not
willing to bestow that laudatory title until I see a more cohesive,
rational and convincing case made, though I�m sure I am a minority of one
on this in the health freedom community.
How about the designator �vaccine-concerned� or �VC� for short? It�s
neutral, accurately descriptive, and this is my post. From now on, I am
going to refer to you as �vaccine-concerned� or �VC.� I mean to include
both ends of the VC spectrum, and here are the ends of the spectrum as I
see it.
For sure, you are not together.
At one end are those who want vaccination criminalized because it harms
everyone who is vaccinated. It includes people who deny that vaccines have
had any benefit to mankind, and that it�s all a pharma scheme to suck money
from the masses. It also includes the personal freedom people who think the
government has no right to force anyone to get any vaccine or impose any
consequences on the unvaccinated, regardless of the perceived consequences
that the ignorant majority and conventional scientists think will be caused
by the unvaccinated.
At the other end of the spectrum are the folks who are concerned that there
might be too many vaccines for kids right now, who accept some
preservative-free vaccines for some serious diseases, unless there are
sound medical contraindications. It also includes those who will compromise
their personal freedom to get inoculations before traveling to some foreign
countries where diseases survive which have been long extinct in this
country. This end of the spectrum also includes those who understand that
the VC, who have strongly-held and metaphysically true beliefs, have to
acknowledge and work within the system in which they currently represent a
minority view. Indeed, these folks even understand that their views are
considered by the mainstream to be anti-science and fringe. (See the just
published article in the New Yorker entitled �The Mistrust of Science� by
mainstream surgeon, author (and medical establishment tool), Atul Gawande.
