... so because he doesn't believe in vaccines makes this a fair and valid statement?
Railey don't turn in Mahogany or Taiga, it would greatly piss me off
No, i have absolutely no faith in people like him.
He's not an anti-vaxxer, he made that clear enough in his post.
The problem lies far deeper.
it's like he was indoctrinated to uphold a rather unrealistic ideal of freedom, even in cases where it's super impractical and detrimental. Just look at how free markets work in his mind.
At the same time he fundamentally distrusts everything with the label ''government'' for no apparent reason, while having blind faith in everything that carries the label ''free''.
Then he also has no scientific literacy to speak of, and is as a result completely unable to distinguish fact from fiction.
He also has a religious background, so that might play into some of his ideas as well.
in other words, his priorities are completely messed up. He'd rather protect the right over anti-vaxxers to make their own decisions, because
A) Having them do otherwise would require governmental interference (''government'' label -> bad)
B) He thinks theres a reasonable possibility that they could be right (scientifically illiterate)
C) if we give people freedom, everything will magically fix itself or at least get better (indoctrinated ideal of freedom)
He probably knows that vaccines work. But he still thinks that anti-vaxxers should be allowed to do what they do. That's how fucked he is. His biggest problem is that he thinks of freedom like this wonder-medicine. Problem? Could probably be solved with more freedom, then things will regulate themselves for sure.
Yeah i think that's a really bad combination.
