Even if you were 99.9999....% sure Smallpox was completely eradicated you'd still want vaccinations for it. It's really, really not something we want to deal with again if it turns out we were wrong.

There are a lot of smart people and a lot of stupid people now. There were lots of smart people and lots of stupid people in the past. People aren't stupider than ever, technology just makes it easier for stupid people to demonstrate to large groups of people how stupid they are and the extremely rapid population growth over the past couple centuries means that the absolute number of stupid people rises rapidly too even if the proportion stays the same or even shrinks..

I've had an anti-vaxxer literally argue with me that killing off all kids who aren't naturally immune is survival of the fittest and eventually everyone would be naturally immune. When I pointed out that Smallpox was at least ~10k years old they ignored it.

When I was in college, one of the first cases of H1N1 in the US was the room mate of one of my friends, who had just come back from a vacation to Mexico. Dude had to be carried to the hospital on a stretcher and my friend was quarantined in his dorm room for like a week. I haven't missed a flu shot since, gently caress that poo poo.

Pro-tip for the US health system: If you ever think, "X is the only sane way to do this, of course they do it in way X!", you're wrong. We do it in the most expensive and inconvenient alternative possible.

To be fair, children who get vaccinations are way more likely to shoot up heroin as adults than children who die of easily preventable childhood diseases.

That specific article doesn't mention it, but birth complications caused by women getting rubella when pregnant are ironically one of the few known causes of autism.

Buried alive posted:It's also entirely possible he heard about all of that, but assumed the documentary would be informative and not be basically a propaganda piece. Why would he assume a guy making a documentary about himself wouldn't basically be a propaganda film?

Monsanto the current Ag company also is largely not the same company as it was during the Vietnam era, there have been a bunch of mergers and spin offs and all that corporate jazz and pretty much all that remains is the name and a few of their bigger Ag products, while the rest of the company that did non-Ag stuff has a new name and is completely separate.
