@Kirwan I agree. Others in positions of power may not.
Not everything is a conspiracy.
This .
The recent measles outbreaks in Minnesota were linked to scum deliberately spreading the lie that vaccines cause autism amongst the Somalian community which lead to them not immunising .
It isn’t a free speech issue it’s a public health issue.
The stoic rationalist in me that tends towards nihilism thinks "yeah, why not? Thin the herd".
The problem being the very small percentages of poor buggers who can't have the vaccine for various reasons, and rely on herd immunity,which they don't get because *fluffybunnies
Meh, eggs, omelette. Perhaps those people, much like our anti-peanut enthusiasts, aren't supposed to be around?
There’s a huge difference between people who are genuinely trying to make the best of a bad hand in life, compared with dumb-arse conspiracy theorist antivaxxers/Darwin award contenders...
Did I suggest otherwise?
It read like that to me when
“... problem being the very small percentages of poor buggers who can't have the vaccine for various reasons, and rely on herd immunity...”
Gets compared to omelette and eggs?
Edit: I see you’ve edited and elaborated on your comment since...

My point has nothing to do with 'dumb-arse conspiracy theorist antivaxxers/Darwin award contenders'. It's about just how far are we prepared to accommodate people whose genetics would have them fall off the metaphoric cliff, weakening the herd.

that's an interesting discussion. And, as always, it's pretty easy to see both sides.
Does your view change if it's one of your kids with the weak genetics?

I've no doubt it would. The problem as I see it is twofold. Firstly you have to remove your own emotional allegiance to the argument as we're discussing the "greater good" as a principle. The second is where you draw the line from Nazi level eugenics to absolutely every dollar should be spent on making everyone live as long and best as possible.

indeed. As i said, it's an interesting discussion. Best had with good friends over a few drinks. I get the feeling on the internet it quickly becomes a shitfight with a heap of name calling.
I would draw the line just before ginger

@antipodean as humans, our value to humanity is not in, for example, 'not being allergic to peanuts'. you don't improve the human race by letting people with allergies die.
the valuable people from a human evolutionary point of view are the smart ones, which has nothing to do with the genetics you are talking about. -

Speaking of genetics, it appears the humour gene is missing from your makeup too:

I had a referral for someone that does EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and while this person wasnt at that level yet, but one of the things that EFT can 'cure' is allergies, including nut allergies...these people do this via Skype and other online software, so was treating people in the US as well as other parts of the world...

But at least none of the kids contracted autism right?

I look forward to the considered responses from anti-vaxxers to this.

Some pro disease tards actually paid for a study to prove the link between mmr and autism and it actually proved there is no link.

These are the real victims. The anti-vaxxers might as well have infected this baby personally
