Seize the means of vaccination! I am not antivax. I am anti-tax-money-funnelling-to-few-cooperations. Make vaccines open. Release the source code! Vaccinate the public!

Vaccines are great, but I do not think that it is wise for societies to give the power of exercising a vaccine mandate to a centralized authority. The laws that are being passed, the infrastructure that is being put in place in order to be able to contact-trace and confirm vaccination status, as well as the precedent that is being set that allows efficiently deploying punishments via social exclusion over a whole population, are all things that have me (reasonably?) concerned.

According to Merriam-Webster’s updated definition for anti-vaxxer, this makes me fall in the anti-vaxxer category despite being vaccinated and actively encouraging others to get vaccinated themselves. I find this to be a very transparent example of political polarization via propaganda, and I think that accepting ideological differences and trying to work out solutions together rather than giving into this extreme “anti-vax” polarization would be more healthy for society in the long term.

They are eejits. Though pro vaxers can be eejits too. Vaccines are a difficult ethical topic. Nobody is 100% right, but anyone with an extreme black/white view is definitely wrong.

But it’s hard to find non polarised people on the internet.
