I am not entirely opposed to vaccination per se. I am however opposed to vilifying those whom are not willing to ignore the risks and therefor decline the inoculation. I also choose to trust naturally acquired immunity rather than say let's make the entire race dependent upon artificial means... how far, in other words, do we detach ourselves from the earth? How trustworthy are technologies that forgo a fundamental connection for the sake of an appearance of order and homogeneity?
So, yes, one might misconstrue my criticism of technology as anti-science—I am after all an old countercultural miscreant who at one time in is life advocated Earth First means (such as "monkey-wrenching") of combatting the plunder and pollution of the environment—but in fact I lean towards inclusive sound science that starts with the premise don't rely on logical fallacies to further isolate human endeavors in a wishful ignorant bubble. Humanity is the weakest link in the web of life and vaccines as they are currently relied upon will not restore for us a position that was no more secure than it is presumed it will ever rise to! We are not meant to escape death after all; and the greater we ever believe ourselves to be the lesser we become stewards of our planet's entirety of living beings
