Mindful Stupidity
"Measles are making a comeback."- a news report
There is a group of very "intelligent" people in this country. They believe that what they believe is completely true and that the rest of us are just stupid. This is very dangerous.
Measles is an illness that has a proven vaccine. These "intelligent" people without any proof have decided not to immunize their children. They have the right to refuse giving their children the vaccine but they do not have the right to endanger other people's kids.
So what is the big lesson?
The question that needs to be asked is whether the children need to be allowed to go to school and be among vaccinated children? My answer is no. Since you make a choice that endangers the lives of others you lose the privilege to be among others. It is simple.
I know that this post is harsh. To me there is no middle ground. If there is a vaccine that prevents an illness that could lead to an epidemic then we should not have a choice about whether we take it to remove the greater evil.
Today's question is:
"Do you benefits of many outweigh the choice of one?"
