That doesn't sound like relevant analogy.
In any case, the whole anti-vax nonsense is overblown anyway.
the webcomic is pretty self-explanatory.
My take on vaccines:
1) are they beneficial?
Generally, yes. Too beneficial. There are too many f*cking humans on the planet today as a result of the invention of vaccines.
2) do some people react badly
Yes, but adverse reactions far less than those that can safely accept them, and also dependent on the particular vaccine
3) do we need to vaccinate?
My take is that we should have basic vaccination for the stuff that's really important. The rest only on a per needs basis. That should help balance risk out. E.g., I wouldn't want to bother taking a yellow fever vaccine since I don't need to travel to South America, but a BCG shot would make sense for a baby/child since TB is endemic to Malaysia.
My take on why some people are opposed to vaccines:
1) ignorance
-the advent of the internet has not made people smarter. Just confused and irrational.
2) religious / philosophical reasons
-similar to the above.
3) fear and distrust of authority and big pharma
- this one is the main underlying reason these days. It is true that in the past there was some industrial accident that caused a certain batch of vaccines to make people sick. Also it is potentially true that some times there's some fear mongering or profit oriented decisions by big pharma which may be construed as not being wholly beneficial to the public, but this in itself does not mean that vaccines do not work.
To make an analogy: just because planes can crash it doesn't make air travel as a whole extremely dangerous. Maybe there are some models or designs or airlines with bad maintenance records which are more accident prone, but on the whole it does not refute the fact that air travel is basically safe for the general populace. The proof is in the pudding.
the whole crux of the matter is like this, does vaccine work at the first place ??
you see this link from it.
i ask a very simple question.
since you claim it works, where is the scientific claim that it works that comes from the lab ??
why cant they demonstrate that the TB shot can prevent that person from getting TB and produce a paper in the lab ??
