Toward Ecosophy

What you wrote is exactly why the latest argument, for any vaccine, falls apart. The argukent is that some cildren cannot be vaccinated and have immune issues or cancer and it would be realy bad if they got the illness, therefore all children ( or possibly every person, as the vulnerable child goes to situations like the supermarket) need to be vaccinated to protect them. However, as you point out, the vaccine is never100% percent effective, so there is no way to actually make everywhere safe for them. I am usually presented with this argument with the ending " how would you feel( or want done) if it was your child ? " And I tell them that if my child was in cancer treatment and getting a disease would be potentially fatal for them I would not send them to school, because I know that even if all the children were vaccinated, someof them could stillg et sick with it. So it would be my responsibility tokeep my child safe and decide what and where would be safe for them to go
