    If we're talking about chicken pox, it's not just about yaya you get it as a kid and feel itchy for a week then you're fine. It's what if you get it as an adult and then you can be in serious trouble.

    I never had mumps, for example. It just didn't seem to make the rounds at my school very often. So, if there were a mumps vaccine back in the 70s I would be fine. But now if I get it, it's a concern.

    When my parents were kids, polio made the rounds. I don't remember anyone worrying about the polio vaccine when it came out, it was more like 'give me ten please'.

    I really don't know what the objections to vaccs are, besides some b.s. about autism, like 'hey my kid's got autism, three years ago they had a small pox vac. let's connect some dots that aren't really there.'

    He doesn't understand how immune systems work. He thinks vaccines weaken your immune system when in fact they do the exact opposite. In Ongs head vaccines are similar to wrapping your kids in cotton wool and not letting them come into contact with any germs which is bad for their immune systems, especially for things like making them allergic to certain substances.

    He thinks kids getting a disease and overcoming it is preferable than being vaccinated against it. So Ong would rather a child got chicken pox over getting vaccinated against it. This is also incorrect as vaccines are much safer, do less damage to the child and there are many fewer risks of complication and all it costs is a little bit of autism.

    I think that's precisely it. Ong, you know how when you get sick and your system builds antibodies to it and you won't get sick again? That's how vaccines work, except for the getting sick part.
    Our brains have just one scale, and we resize our experiences to fit.
