In reply to the discussion: Why would your un-vaccinated kids be a threat to my vaccinated kids? [View all]Moonwalk
(2,322 posts)...Would you? This is a response to the arrogant "anti-vax" person saying, "I don't understand why you want me to vaccinate my child. Yours is vaccinated. What do you care?" ("la-de-da!" tone of voice and "HA! I won that argument there!" implied.)
THAT is what this is a response to. And it's important it be this way because if it isn't, the those WATCHING an listening, may say, "Well, gosh, that was a good point."
You may not be able to change the anti person with this, but you will change the mind of those on the fence if you make it seem like the anti is not only wrong, wrong, wrong, but also likely to end up infecting their own children, but other people's children, the ones too young for the vaccine.
They're what "vaccinate" proponents are fighting for right now. To stem the anti tide and stop them from gaining more adherents. And yes, I think this could do it for *some.* Right or wrong, people *DO* side with those who don't merely have good points in an argument, but a take-no-prisoners attitude. Just as Obama won the State of the Union with his one "I won 'em both" remark rather than any other points he might have made. That nailed it. And this "nails" it.
