false, there are no boys on the internet - we will require a photo of a sharpie in your butt to prove it you’re not a girl

denying healthcare because a patient has vaccine hesitancy seems really unethical to me, but I also think that it probably overall increases community risks compared to other methods like empathetic-refutational interviewing, especially because refusal to listen and address concerns and meeting vaccine hesitancy with sanctions will have an effect of further undermining trust and so helping anti-vaxx and anti-science movements

pretty sure OP is a woman

If there are no societal roadblocks to prevent anti-vaxx parents raising their children to also be anti-vaxxers, then the cycle of misinformation will only get worse as time progresses.

right, but people don’t get socialized or educated by their doctors, doctors are like gatekeepers for medicine and surgeries that you get to see in very short windows of time once a year … withholding access to medicine and surgery is not going to help the situation

Regardless, parents should not have the ability to prevent their children from getting vaccinations on the basis of their own unscientific beliefs.

right, but the flip side is that you’re OK with foregoing the individual’s right to opt in or out of a medical procedure … I haven’t read enough bioethics to arrive at some kind of position on this, but I don’t think either side is obviously right - on the one hand individual liberties being protected results in more overall harm and deaths from fewer vaccinations; on the other hand ignoring individual liberties is authoritarian and can create medical trauma, as well as may backfire and result in greater resistance.

Either way, we need to solve this on a societal level through education, developing greater trust in biomedicine, and probably by penalizing the grifters who profit from promoting anti-vaxx anxieties.

are you a boomer? lol

my partner asked me to include my proclivity to bite her in my patient history document submitted for my testing for ASD 😅 now I’m wondering if there is a pattern here - are other biters also autistic?

yes!

also, where does this urge to bite come from? I don’t really know many other people who like to bite (or be bitten) …

this is like the 5th meme like this I’ve seen, I think I’m hitting a breaking point

also, this feels like boomer humor or something, it feels so weirdly out-of-touch and not self-aware (hey, like I’m being right now!)

this is a News community that requires you post a link to a news article, see rules 2, 4, 5, 6

the anti-vaxxers or the doctors who are willing to treat them?

to be honest, the current evidence we have about clinical best practices actually supports doctors not trying to convince anti-vaxxers, so in some sense I can see a way of defending “(anti-)vaccine-friendly” clinical practice, as a way to ensure they have some biomedical healthcare - not just out of concern for the health and well-being of the anti-vaxxers (who deserve to live and be healthy despite their self-destructive and ignorant practices), but also for the health and well-being of the society who is threatened and burdened when other people get sick

there are social and economic costs to illness, and it is a situation in which we have to be invested in one another’s health

(this ironically makes being anti-vaxx all the more anti-social and unethical, but the solution to anti-vaxx and anti-science movements should be invested in the well-being of everyone)

Breaking Bad

“vaccine friendly” meaning doctors or healthcare professionals who are friendly or neutral about anti-vaxx practices and beliefs

feels Orwellian because it’s the opposite of friendly to vaccines

pls @ me when you post photos and an update

I won’t bite, unless I feel trapped 🍕

I’m still horny from the last bean post
