It would seem through current media portrayals that anti-vaxxers are different from you and I learned individuals. They are crazy loons who live on communes and spend the days snorting trails of each others’ faeces off wooden planks carved by aborigines mid menstrual cycle. They worship UFOs and pretend to be wolves on the prowl for particularly difficult scrabble words of a sunday night. This could not be further from the truth. They are normal people much like you and I, they enjoy a tipple, they understand the news but they all have one correlating factor. They are, for the most part, big fans of alternative medicine and alternative theories on reality.
Unlike the vast majority of the effete, erudite libertarians reading this blog like it validates their views when it’s clearly just an echo chamber for a series of auto-fellating fuckwits, I have actually come into contact with anti-vaxxers that I would say I consider genuinely intelligent. I used to work for a man who, along with his wife was skeptical of the pharmaceutical industry and for good reason. They had both worked for years as drug company reps, they knew every hook, every crook and were disgusted with what that industry offered them. I understand their position and I feel sympathy for their plight, but I feel that it is time the vast majority of you swarthy libertarian atlases got in touch with what you really need to learn. How to deal with cunts who parse reality completely differently from sane human beings.
I was talking to my ex-employer years ago and he commented on the fact that he had never had his children vaccinated. This was during my halcyon days where I was young dumb and full of cum. I even regretfully admit that I accepted the argument that “vaccination is basically homeopathy” as a reason to stop being pro-vaccination at that time. I retract this admonition freely and in good faith. I was, to put it in couched terms, a complete fucking moron. This is not so these days. I’m fully aware of the dangers of those sectors of society that choose to not vaccinate and those individuals that have issues with vaccination purely because they are so utterly, flabbergastingly idiotic that they don’t understand basic medical procedures. Again, this I can deal with.
What I can’t deal with is out and out fabrications. Vaccines do not contain mercury and thimerosal is not a substance containing mercury. I’m not going to argue this entire case because the ENTIRE FUCKING SKEPTICAL COMMUNITY DOES THIS BETTER THAN I COULD EVER POSSIBLY HOPE But I hope to make an actually decent point.
We, those who are fans of the LeClerian ideals of freedom, truth, beauty and a sound currency (A currency so sound you could rest a pint on the fucker) are well aware that we are maligned, judged and pushed away from the mainstream of society. This is the territory that comes with holding our particular set of beliefs and it is a badge of efficacy and authenticity we wear proudly like the scars of the socially awkward against the columbine grenades. What is incredibly important is that we, as libertarians and liberty-seekers and even those blessed anarchists that read this pile of detritus and scrap, understand that our enemy’s enemy is not our friend. Just because someone may say they dislike central banking or they have issue with governments controlling their lives or they want a sound currency does not mean they do our cause or our values any favours.
Anti-vaxxers for the most part are complete fucking morons. This goes withour saying. If you pay attention to any video containing Meryl Dorey (Head of the AVN or AUSTRALIAN VACCINATION NETWORK) you’ll realise that this woman is attuned to that disconnect with reality creationists get high off. She is completely and utterly batshit fucking mental. She’s entirely valid to her opinion and entirely able to promote it but she is still completely and utterly batshit fucking mental.
