Adults are responsible.

I’m not trying to change their minds.



Most adults are just grown up children and should be treated with compassion even when they make idiotic decisions.


That would be a reasonable outlook but antivaxxers spread cult like anti scientific beliefs that endanger the lives of many people beyind the individual antivaxxers.

This cult like behaviors isn’t deserving of ordinary empathy it needs to be seen for what it is and stopped. Fortunate many countries are doing this.


Absolutely it needs to be stopped - all I'm saying is that those unfortunate bumpkins who have fallen for it don't deserve to die (or have "evolution take its course") simply because they are naive and gullible.

Not everyone is smart, some are easily manipulated or prone to irrational anxieties. They are still deserving of life and happiness.
