It is amazing how we create faux outrage out of people speaking their
mind, and often the truth, simply because those truths run counter to
our "sheepled" view of things. It is true that vaccines, like most
medical advances in the last two hundred years save lives. It is also
true that vaccines, like most medications and medical procedures often
come with risks, regardless of how small that risk is.
People should be informed of both the benefits and risks, and the rationale for encouraging the populace to accept the risk (small in the case of vaccines as far as we know) should be made clear. Vaccines have tremendous public health outcome. It also holds small personal health risks.
#chrischristie #RandPaul and #barackobama , each have a point. While the two Republicans choose to highlight the personal health risk (with their own caveat), the President opted to impress the public health benefit.
