Its not a simple left vs right issue and its not simply people not believing in vaccines. There are a whole range of opinions on it and ridicule is not a winning argument.

“ridicule is not a winning argument”

That’s the argument that is going to be used by the left and the media, so people better get used to it.

Sadly, ridicule does win these days, reasoned debate suffers.

Once the media's preferred narrative has taken hold, it becomes a witch hunt.

Totally agree -

Vaccines are and have been a great positive in public health.

Now, the individual health risks need to be addressed, when before the public health risk greatly outweighed the individual risk.

The next stage is screening for individuals at risk from vaccines, and giving them individualized treatment programs. It is no longer acceptable to just say the public health risk completely trumps any individual risks. We can develop these screens, and there is no reason not to.

Any one that claims vaccines are “settled science” and they do not harm any individuals knows nothing about science, because in science, there is NO settled science.
