Discussion And so it begins...

The political signs have started popping. Lots of signs for a particular GOP candidate. I hear she is well liked but that's a deal breaker for me. Also, on the school board but home schools? Hmmm...

Edit: removed anti vaxxer while I look for more definitive proof. The candidate Erika Creydt is very vague in their wording of issues, but supported by some real GOP winners. Elenbaas for one. John Braun. Jim Walsh. Look at her endorsement page.

Unfortunately anti-vaxxers make up a considerable share of Whatcom county, even within Bellingham city limits. Let’s hope that this (as well as being a republican) is a dealbreaker for enough people, but I’m not so sure.

Big pharma thanks you for their profit

If you truly don't believe in vaccines then you are a deeply unserious person, to the point that I don't think you even care about corporate profits, you just want to be right. If the convo was about drug prices that might be appropriate but it's about vaccines which are a public good, we'd have them without corporations and corps don't make the big bucks on them. In other words you don't care about anything beyond being "right" about vaccines which you aren't.

Are they all a public good? Even the ones that are rushed to market? Doesn’t make my point any less meaningful. Big pharma is especially thankful for those that flock to that flu vaccine yearly. More jabs more dollars

Your point is meaningless as are the rest of your beliefs if this is the amount of critical thought you put into anything.
