The triage experts of r/politics begin their circlejerk about letting horse medicine people die but one free thinker brings up an interesting point.

OP comment:

Triage should prioritize children and the vaccinated. I don’t believe medical resources should be wasted on people who have made a commitment to ignore science, but rely on science, reject medicine but imbibe chemicals. It is beyond foolish and is now truly dangerous.

Reply:

I feel the same way about the obese, chronic drinkers and smokers as well. They did it to themselves.

Nooo not like that:

There’s a distinction to be made about being addicted to addictive substances and being unwilling to take easy actions to prevent yourself from getting ill.

Often obese, alcoholics, and smokers get addicted when they’re children (before 18) and it carries on through adulthood.

There’s also the fact that obese, smokers, and alcoholics aren’t advocating that others join them as their lifestyle is actually the healthier one.

Ya'll know what to do.

A nurse made a mistake and killed a kid. The anti-vaxxers then pounced and over 70 people have died.

The king anti-vaxxer shill himself showed up there:

Still, news of the heartbreaking deaths shook the island nation’s confidence in the healthcare system. And anti-vaccination groups pounced on the circumstances. Most notably, the deaths were picked up by the Children’s Health Defense, run by the prominent anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. As The Washington Post noted, Kennedy’s organization spent months highlighting the deaths on Facebook while questioning the safety of the MMR vaccines. But the organization did not correct the posts or update its audience with information regarding the nurses’ error and convictions.

Kennedy visited Samoa in June, appearing alongside local anti-vaccine advocates and even a staff member of the US embassy. In November, Kennedy’s organization sent a letter to the Samoan prime minister, encouraging officials to question the MMR vaccine. Kennedy peddles the false and dangerous claim that vaccines are linked to autism, despite the fact that numerous scientific studies have robustly debunked the baseless claim.

I don’t see any proof that the anti vaccine campaign caused those deaths.

If there was proof, you would have quoted it. Instead you quoted about how the anti vaccine campaign started.

So there is no proof? You just made that up? And I’m the mentally ill one?

Cool. So you admit you lied and have no proof.

Again, the proof is there, your inability to understand it comes from mental illness.
