To Vaccinate or Not

[rva_jeremy]

I follow and enjoy a page called "I Fucking Love Science". Their worldview tends to be materialistic in terms of seeing only the material realm as real. (As far as I know.)

But they feel genuine and honest with no hidden agenda but only desire to share a love of all things science.

Its author put together this article about the anti-vaccination movement. Replete with many helpful links for anyone interested in researching this question for themselves:

I don't think there's anything intrinsically wrong with the practice of vaccination.  But I do think we live in a system where there is insufficient transparency with respect to what we put in our bodies.  Most of the best anti-vax arguments I've read are from people who distrust the pharma industry, not medicine or vaccines per se.  So a lot of this pro-vax / anti-vax stuff is almost engineered to sidestep the real point of contention, which is the secretive, profit-driven pharmaceutical corporate complex. 

If vaccination proponents really cared about winning over the doubters, wouldn't they open source all this stuff, so anybody could manufacture it and know that only the right ingredients are in it?  There's no reason we need such centralized control of something so needed, except that there's profit and control in it.

Ok, gonna go meditate on this third chakra blockage I feel.
