Now we have another pandemic & some in the community are taking this strange anti-vax stance. What has changed ? Is it the internet spreading half-truths. Do we have a higher percentage of morons in the community nowadays ? Watch the movie Idiocracy if you're not sure what I'm on about.
Not trying to stir the pot, just asking an honest question.

Maybe it's because the entire medical profession has become so adept at disease eradication and saving people from conditions they would have otherwise died from that a percentage of society has lost sight of their mortality? People seem to think they're indestructible.
