RE: Herd Immunity is a Lie, and here is Why! (it's not a lie)
This is quite nice, interactive and entertaining and educational.
And, I think, there's an even deeper issue here: I think lots of things are like that, not just vaccines. For instance, I often say that I will personally die because other people believe in God. When they ask me how come, I mention Carl Sagan's quote, that without religion we might now be cruising the galaxy, that science would be much more advanced. I mention that if religious people didn't believe in an afterlife, they would sponsor scientific immorality.
Modern PC culture wants to give everyone the right to believe whatever they want, but actually the consequences of other people's beliefs on ourselves can be devastating, can literally be deadly, and vaccines and climate change are just a couple examples that are easier to comprehend (but they don't even understand those, good luck convincing them about the harder stuff).
I absolutely agree with you. Waiting for the afterlife reward, justice and second chance is the biggest brake ever invented.
And yes, it's deadly.
Fun fact. In Serbia, the average salary is 400 $ per month.
Scientist/ MD some solid engineer: 500-800 $.
Priests: well, all of them drive Audi A6 or better. And their service costs 50-100 $.
And that is the reason why the average salary is 400 $ per month or 15 $ per day.
Or 2-3 Steem per day.
I don't know how rewards work for old posts, thus you got upvotes on your fresh posts
You're from Serbia, I gather?
I understood from very early on how interconnected everything is, so that 'live and let live' bullshit doesn't fly with me! If people choose to pay priests (or for cigarettes, or football tickets), something else will suffer, like teachers' or scientists' salaries.
Yeah rewards don't get counted for old posts, but the vote itself gets counted, so it's like a fb 'like'.
Good to discover yet another steemSTEMian!
Exactly! There is a price to pay.
People in West/ USA are not aware how dangerous it can be to go with the populistic instead of reasonable.
These days we have 3 cases of death from measles (first after 20 years)
about 200 hospitalized
and about 1500 infected.
Scaling up with the population of USA: 100-150 death, about 8.000 in the hospitals and 60.000 infected.
Still, there are numerous comments in mainstream media and FB that it's great, at least we will not get autism!? And we have anti-vax political party in the Parlament!?
Freedom of the speech given to the fools...
