Do you know how vaccines work?
Vaccines are broken up versions of viruses. They are in theory too broken up to infect the recipient but remain in tact enough to trigger an immune response protecting the recipient from wild versions of the virus.
Vaccines are not 100% innocuous. Have you ever had the sniffles after a flu vaccine? Sometimes vaccines can actually infect the recipient. 1%-3% infection rates are not uncommon in the vaccine world. When the vaccines were battling and preventing deadly outbreaks the risk of course was worth it.
But if a disease has been eradicated is the risk worth it? Do you know the polio vaccine paralyzes more children than the wild polio virus?
So here's the question. Should parents have the right to keep needles out of their children's bodies? Is this a conversation you can have on steemit without censorship?
And don't tell me flagging people to oblivion is not censorship with your "it's still on the blockchain" bullshit. It's censorship. Being shaded, having to click reveal, having to click show, not being able to use pictures in your posts becaus your rep is too low, this all leads to fewer views and is censorship.
So what about it? Let's have a flag free conversation.
