I couldn't agree more. People should have the choice. If there are people who made an informed choice to vaccinate themselves or their children, that should be up to them and I respect that. If a person chooses for whatever reason not to, it should be respected too. The problem is that people will start screaming 'herd immunity' right away and point their finger at un-vaccinated people during an outbreak of the measles or something else. But the whole idea about herd immunity is still not proven, there are no hard facts that it works or even exists. So maybe if people instead of trying to make others see their point of view by force (as it is done too often), try to educate themselves about this subject, all that finger pointing won't be necessary anymore. I absolutely respect your choice not to kill myself. And I absolutely respect the choices of those who decide to vaccinate their children and themselves. As long as I'm not expected to, I'm happy with that.
Well exactly. Some people will never get it and when it comes to a point where I have to tell a person that getting myself vaccinated is the same as stabbing myself with a knife, I try not to go there and I leave the conversation, because it will take a toll on me and drain my energy. I gave too much energy away already to other people and need to recuperate what I lost. It's not worth arguing sometimes with some people. I've learnt to whom I can talk to about these things and share my point of view and experiences and to whom I should not talk about it and avoid the topic altogether. I've also learnt it's okay to say "I don't wish to discuss this" or "This is private and does no concern you" with anyone asks if I plan on vaccinating my children or anything like that. If people cannot respect me, then they do not deserve to be in my life.
By the way, I gave you a follow. Your blurb intrigues me, I shall have to check out your posts.
haha, thank you. I follow you too :) My latest posts mainly consist of steemfest photos, because there was just so much to cover. But will get back to serious soon :)
Cool.
