California, Oregon and Washington announced today the
formation of a West Coast Health Alliance. This group is allegedly
intended to support medical science specifically with regards to
vaccination products and policy. That may be true. It is also possible
that it is simply an organized FUCK YOU to Donald Trump and RFK Jr. Of
course the two items are not mutually exclusive.
Presumably
one of the things they intend is to develop a more-or-less legitimate
medical organization that will continue to support mandatory
vaccinations for rugrats in school.
Under
ideal conditions parents would be able to decide for themselves if
their kid needed a vaccination or not, or for that matter whether they
themselves needed a vaccination, after doing some research and some
serious thinking. Unfortunately a LOT of people can't do that or don't
do that, thereby endangering the herd. Witness recent outbreaks of
whooping cough and measles in unvaccinated populations.
Wouldn't
it be nice if people could be counted on to rely on enlightened
self-interest as well as genuine civic virtue to make their decisions?
Dream on.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is not a FUCK YOU to Donald Trump and RFK Jr. It's simply an effort to secure the well-being of the people in California, Oregon and Washington and save them from the unscientific health policies of RFK Jr. and Trump
