My rebuttal to Mandatory vaccination
Vaccination, herd immunity; statistics, perception, contributing factors; knowledge as power, self-empowering psychological mechanics—conviction; cognitive dissonance, defence mechanisms; uncertainty—mental irritation/stimulation.
Work: the great elucidation of ideas. The battle front: where convictions meet. The most carefully, unbiased, and rigorously discerned evaluation, is very likely to be of an uncommon understanding, but what is issued from 'social authoritative figures' shapes a society's common conviction on matters audaciously termed as 'science'. "Just how great is the understanding of the authorities?" we should ask people like Galileo and Ignaz Semmelweis (look him up): authority is by no means an indication of scientific veracity, authority is dangerous, it severely impacted the well-being of these now-honoured scientific observers.
Where public opinion is influenced most heavily, resides in innate psychological instincts of group-synchronicity—familiarity—heavily ingrained in the human psyche. Over many thousands of years, fear of rejection from ones social group, which often led to annihilation without the protection of being an accepted member of the social group, has shaped the way the common human develops its system of prescribed-to knowledge: in sync with the groups understanding, imitating strongly held beliefs or convictions of the group. What should be referred to as 'herd immunity' is a psychological defence mechanism, which outcasts any idea or person threatening the validity of what the common people of a group hold dear and true in terms of knowledge: it empowers people to feel that they know things, and a suggestion of the contrary is emotionally debilitating, thus psychological herd immunity is strongly ingrained in the common human.
Elucidating the vaccination debate requires an emotionally-indifferent analysis (something rare in this case, given most people are vaccinated themselves and naturally nobody wants to entertain the emotions associated with the idea that they've been poisoned and misled, amongst other things), as the entire story is reviewed and refined to a best guess (a fact here, although emotionally desirable, is not possible, the effect of vaccination is all supposed) at what has happened throughout the history of this idea, and what is happening currently; a review of statistics with an acknowledgement of all* the contributing factors which shape the reporting of statistics and the way we interpret them, as probable causes and effects are deduced (a very large and complex job requiring the aforementioned intellectual scrutiny). People have been doing this, people have gone out of their way to study this without a conviction either way, and at the expense of their social acceptance many have expressed their findings that vaccination is both poisonous and ineffective. Many people have studied a certain doctrine, confined to institutional medical education (which is sponsored by companies that profit from vaccination sales), they have learnt from the authoritative doctrines one side of the story to call themselves a 'professional', and they hold the most socially powerful conviction, given that they are endorsed by the authoritative knowledge in society: essentially, these 'professionals' are products of the conventional institutionalised knowledge system which promotes vaccination—some of them decide to study further on their own accord to come to an even more educated understanding, whilst most enjoy the grandeur of modern day knighthood as Dr, with the air of someone who 'knows the most' simply because they completed all the information from the study, available from the governmental institution of education (all this information is available to anybody seeking, and much more).
Given that such^ is the case, there is no reason for anyone to criticise so harshly those who don't believe in the efficacy of vaccination. In fact, if one is a believer, they are subject to ridicule in that they seemingly need to 'believe' something they obviously aren't sure of; if they are of the conviction that they are sure, then they manifestly are deluded about the nature of certainty. Belief is not necessary to make a decision to vaccinate, the belief in vaccination manifests as a self-serving rationale for a decision, a psychological bandaid, it is not necessary for everyone who receives a vaccine.
There is no reason why a government should detriment the care given to people who aren't convinced of the efficacy of vaccination (thus they don't vaccinate), the government is in essence not serving to harbour a scientific community, but asserting the convictions of the majority to vaccinate through coercive methods—worth noting here, I or anyone I can find cant find a controlled experiment with a saline-injection placebo or no placebo control using animal subjects, that shows the vaccinated fared better in adversity or mortality.
—There is no reason to assume that what is commonly understood as ‘herd immunity’ is something to worry about unless you cannot get vaccinated, and even then there is no reason to assume that you have a higher chance of contracting disease: there are no studies comparing vaccinated to unvaccinated people in the same population group for disease contraction, such studies have been considered 'unethical' due to the prospect being 'too dangerous a situation, to have people walking around unvaccinated for the purpose of science' (strange, because I know people who walk around unvaccinated, they are all disease free, and ready for scientific analysis, although it won't happen for apparently ethical reasons). When a disease epidemic occurs, I have never heard of 'all the people who can't be vaccinated suddenly caught this disease—how sad...' have you? And if vaccinated people get a disease they’re supposedly vaccinated-against, they blame their contraction on the fact that someone wasn’t vaccinated for that disease, a real oxymoron, because ipso facto they suggest the vaccine doesn’t work—they insist u get it too and anger with u for lacking belief that it will help even yourself. This is the common conception of herd immunity, this is a reductio ad absurdum.
Enough of the ridicule, and accusations of stupidity or ignorance, this is a complex and in-depth issue, and if you think you know 'how it is' then you aren't very different to the majority of people: IF YOU HAVE STUDIED CAREFULLY THE ENTIRE SITUATION (with a clear rational mind, free from convictions, bias, cognitive dissonance and thus emotional irritation which obscures a sober perspective) you would be of a very select minority, with peculiar ambitions.
