The current ACIP members “clearly see even the act of recommending a vaccine, which is the charge of the committee for the last 60 years, as infringing on parental freedom”, Schwartz said. That’s akin to suggesting that the dietary guidelines issued last week infringe on the freedom to choose which food to eat, he said.

Every Republican plan when you really break it down to the essential elements is just another racist, sexist plan to address overpopulation via cruelty.

I'd disagree that the intent is reduce the population. Most things they do are meant to increase population but decrease quality of life, to put more distance between your life and the American dream. It's like Lucy pulling away the football every time, telling Charlie Brown to work harder because he's so close. They're criminalizing abortion, they're blaming millenials for not having enough kids to keep the social security pyramid scheme propped up, they're literally saying we need more Americans and less immigrants, and they're vilifying liberal women for hating men, reducing pregnancy rates.

I agree it's all through cruelty. Banning abortion disproportionately affects people of color, further trapping them in poverty cycles. They're promising more manufacturing jobs here, as if Americans ever had healthy lives doing so. Spoiler alert, that shit doesn't work, not when we can exploit China and India for 1/5th the cost, shipping included. So to bring it back to these vaccines, I would hope the goal is just to appease the uneducated voter base that thinks "vAcCiNeS bAd", but I'm sure the goal is to cause lifelong afflictions and drain money from the parents.

Throwing it out there. I have a significant orthodox Jewish community somewhat close. These same republicans used to blast them for getting vaccine exemptions for their children and then sending their kids to public schools. Multiple measles outbreaks occurred. Now suddenly these Republicans are all excited to reduce the vaccines because they believed every disease until the bill gates disease/microchip combo. Fucking insanity. Two-faced cunts.

Makes wonder if that is exactly what it would look like to aliens. 👽

It could be how our species responds to overpopulation pressures. Though, I think wealth concentration is a more likely cause.

Overpopulation concerns are a costume thrown together by the rich to make people distracted from how it is the rich that are making the world uninhabitable.
