One of the defining features of disease is that it doesn't 'discriminate'. There's very few effective diseases that could be adapted into a weapon that would not be equally as devastating to the people unleashing it. So what you're saying is....

Seriously though, get your flu shots people, and encourage everyone else to get flu shots. Don't skip it because "I never get sick anyway". You'll help protect the elderly and children and people with compromised immune systems who nevertheless need to go grocery shopping.

MythLisp posted:They also are friends with a few anti-vaccine (mostly deregistered) wholistic doctors, one which told her that if there was a polio outbreak, sure, get the kids the polio vaccine then, but if there isn't there is no need for it. I like this reasoning a lot. Seat belts? No need to wear them, just quickly put one on when you're about to be hit by another vehicle going 70 MPH down the highway next to you.  You know what would happen to cause a Polio outbreak? If people who aren't protected from it like your kids contract Polio. Man that is painful to read.

We should mandate vaccines just like we mandate seat belts, as a matter of public health.
