Why?

Why is it that the people yelling My body, my choice are the same people who are harassing those who have made the choice to be vaccinated?

Why is it that we see the anti-vaxxers invading "vaxxed-only" establishments, but we don't see pro-vaxxers invading establishments that continue to serve the unvaccinated?

Why do the My body, my choice adherents only apply that idea to those who are spreading a potentially fatal disease, while refusing to apply the same standard to pregnant women who they believe should have no choice when it comes to having an abortion?

Why are children - children! - being harassed by anti-vaxxer bullies because their parents chose to protect them against a disease that has already killed over 700,000 Americans?

What the My body, my choice folks are really saying is YOUR body is subject to MY choice - and they're just too fucking stupid to recognize their own hypocrisy.

Some parent hasn't socked one of these anti-vaxxers screaming at their children. God knows I would have cracked my coffee mug over one of their heads about now.

If my dog gets rabies, I should be able to bring him everywhere, allowing him to bite you or your dog, right?

Rabies isn't always fatal these days. But you let my dog near you, you take your chances.

I am sure you get the sarcasm intended.

their perceptive dogma space, be it religious, political or otherwise. They're not dumb, just detached from reality.

Try to find logic in the brains of either the insane or the stupid.
It's tantamount to trying to teach a pig to sing.
It annoys the pig
and it's a waste of your time.

…in any type of context that anyone uses it.

And that’s all I’m going to say about that.
