    Free vaccines for people should be one of the fundamental things a government should do. Time to start putting pressure on our politicians.

    “Do you side with us or are on on the side of the viruses? You’re either with us or against us.”

      Another issue is we have got to stop accepting so many reasons to not vaccinate your kids.

      What’s the point of having a policy for vaccinations when half the country just keeps going “It’s against my religion” when no religion (except maybe Scientology) is new enough to have addressed things like vaccines. It seems clear a majority of them are just people who don’t like the idea of vaccinations and are using religion as an easy cudgel to get out of it.

      I mean, you know, how religious people always use their religion. As a cudgel. To not have to follow the same rules as everyone else.

      But, we have free vaccines.

      My pharmacy is 80m from my door, and I rolled in and got it for free. Flu too, in the same sitting.

      Oh. I’m not in America though.
