William Lindsey :toad:<p>"Because to be clear, when you choose not to get vaccinated in a country like the US, what you are ultimately doing is free-riding on the backs of everyone else who did their part."</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/measles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>measles</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/vaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vaccines</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/vaccination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vaccination</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/RFKJr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RFKJr</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/CDC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CDC</span></a> <br>/4</p>
William Lindsey :toad:<p>"If you view vaccination as an individual choice and believe that anyone should be able to opt out for any reason at any time, then what you’re saying is that it’s okay to decide not to uphold your end of the social contract; that it’s okay to free-ride off of everyone else who actually did go get vaccinated."</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/measles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>measles</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/vaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vaccines</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/vaccination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vaccination</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/RFKJr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RFKJr</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/CDC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CDC</span></a> <br>/3</p>
William Lindsey :toad:<p>She responds to CDC:</p><p>"The truth is, when it comes to public health, there really isn’t such a thing as a 'personal' or 'individual' choice — because every choice we make as individuals has implications for the health of those around us. Framing vaccination as an issue of 'personal choice' disregards the fact that choosing not to get vaccinated ultimately strips other people of their personal choice to stay healthy or to live a normal life."</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/measles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>measles</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/vaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vaccines</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/vaccination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vaccination</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/RFKJr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RFKJr</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/CDC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CDC</span></a> <br>/2</p>
William Lindsey :toad:<p>Caroline Orr Bueno reports that ProPublica contacted the CDC to ask why it suppressed a report warning that the risk of measles is higher in areas near outbreaks where vaccination rates are lower.</p><p>CDC responded,</p><p>“The decision to vaccinate is a personal one." As Bueno notes, this echoes HHS Secretary Robert F.
