    Reducing the likelihood of infection will reduce the chances of people getting infected with it, people spreading it, and people getting re-infected with it

    It’s why polio disappeared everywhere that was vaccinated for it

        When VACCINATED FOR THE DISEASE you are UNLIKELY to catch it, but if exposed, YOU CAN STILL CATCH IT

        When NOT VACCINATED FOR THE DISEASE you are LIKELY to catch it, and if exposed YOU WILL LIKELY CATCH IT

        When UNVACCINATED PEOPLE who CATCH THE DISEASE are in general public, EVERYONE CAN STILL CATCH IT, EVEN THOSE WHO ARE VACCINATED

        When you are unvaccinated against the disease, you are MORE LIKELY TO CATCH THE DISEASE, and THEREFORE MORE LIKELY TO SPREAD THE DISEASE

        The point of widespread vaccination is to PREVENT PEOPLE FROM CATCHING IT, which PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM SPREADING IT

        I don’t know how much simpler I can make this, this concept has literally been around for over 200 years

            Did you think that virology is “vaccines are magic medicine, and anything that isn’t magic is poison”?

                Wanting to prevent people from getting sick is a moral good

                Wanting to prevent people from dying is a moral good

                Wanting to fight for the right to get people sick and potentially kill them in the name of personal freedom is psychopathic

                    Not wanting people to die is the opposite of selfishness
