Refer to my post. Lumara was propagating a myth anyway.
Edit: If you were a translator, I'd have you fired. You totally manhandled what I said and replaced it with your personal Libertarian agenda. I never said the government's all knowing or that people should be eliminated if they disagree. That's absurd. What I actually said was--saving the lives of most people and preventing sickness in most is worth the statistically rare incidents of problems in any one individual. It is. Public Health matters more.
Most people are not capable of judging for themselves. They are not medical professionals, thus they lack the education and experience to make competent decisions. This is common sense. If everyone could diagnose and treat themselves, you wouldn't need doctors. Professionals specialize in their field for laymen who don't.
Going by the above--the fact that Lumara doesn't like vaccines because she thinks they suppress her immune system-, my argument is self-proven because said believe is unsubstantiated and downright FALSE. IT IS A MYTH! Believing in myths indicates you don't actually know what you're talking about, thus any decision you make based on that myth is unfounded.
