I wish I could upvote you more than once. The proliferation of antivax bullshit is legitimately not only a public health hazard, but potentially a looming existential threat that could put the survival of the species at risk.

I reckon the Australian model of dealing with antivaxxers is probably the only workable one that preserves civil liberties (the right to be a fuckwit) while also minimising harm to the general population.
As in, "If you don't vaccinate your kids, don't expect the state to support you with welfare or access to public schools, etc.".

What really fucking terrifies me is how antivax sentiment is on the rise, leading to small populations where diseases like measles can breed, mutate, and then variants of them can infect immunised populations who have no defence against the new strain, against which they are not immunised.
This, in combination with the huge increase in antibiotic resistant bacteria and the fact we are running out of viable antibiotics faster than we can develop new ones... Makes one afraid for the future.

That fucking cunt who faked results and published that bullshit paper (that was later retracted, but too late, the damage was done) which spuriously linked vaccines to autism should be put on trial, what he has done is nothing short of a gross crime against humanity.
