Public sentiment on the importance of safe, lifesaving childhood vaccines has significantly declined in the US since the pandemic—which appears to be solely due to a nosedive in support from people who are Republican or those who lean Republican, according to new polling data from Gallup.
In 2019, 52 percent of Republican-aligned Americans said it was “extremely important” for parents to get their children vaccinated. Now, that figure is 26 percent, falling by half in just five years. In comparison, 63 percent of Democrats and Democratic leaners said it was “extremely important” this year, down slightly from 67 percent in 2019.
31% of Republicans so stupid their genes should be prevented from being passed down
Yeah, nothing could go wrong with a little eugenics…
edit: those who down voted this should truly reflect on their humanity.
Fortunately, this is a self sorting problem, it’s not eugenics when it’s natural selection.
but they affect people who can’t get a vaccine for legitimate medical reasons.
Yeah, no one said natural selection is kind and fair.
If you want to talk forced vaccination I’m personally okay with it but that’s the reality of the situation, it won’t be solved otherwise.
No worries, they contradicted you so they must be a sHiTlIb
Eugenics is when one group of people dictates the reproduction of another group of people.
Natural selection is when one group of people fails to survive due to inferior decision making, while better decision makers carry on their germlines.
Refusing vaccinations based on conspiracy theories, and dying of disease because of it is 100% natural selection.
Except the comment I replied to says
One group (the commenter I’m replying to) dictating the reproduction (‘should be prevented’) of another group (dumb republicans).
