Let us remember that vaccines are neither 100 percent safe, nor 100 percent effective, and in many cases vaccine damage can be ruinous for individuals and their families. Vaccines are by no means the only available way to control the spread of disease. For example, many less developed countries have adopted the use of homeopathy, as it can be much safer, more ef- fective and less expensive than pharmaceutical medicines. Considering the fact that pharmaceu- tical death is the number-one cause of unnatural death in the First World, perhaps we should try this method here at home. We will have to stand up for our rights, however, because special inter- est groups are already doing everything in their power to make homeopathy illegal.
The bottom line is that we as a society need to assert our rights of bodily autonomy before it is too late. If we do nothing, we may see an America in which people will be denied public transport, work or health insurance un- less they are fully vaccinated with products that are neither properly tested nor regulated. I, for one, do not wish to live in a totalitarian country without basic liberties—and yet these liberties are disappearing as people call for jailing those who do not vaccinate and vaccine stakeholders continue to censor our views.
