Currently Listening

by Ashley Weeks Cart

Given the statement I made in my post below, I encourage everyone to listen to this episode of This American Life. It captures the essence of my feelings about the vaccination debate.

The needs of many outweigh the needs of the few. Doda is so proud I’m quoting Spock right now.

I’ve been accused of being discriminatory against those that choose not to vaccinate their children. And yet, I would argue, it is those that don’t vaccinate that are being narrow-minded and selfish by not thinking beyond their individual children to the overall wellness of the society those children inhabit. I am interested in the bigger picture. That is the heart of my argument.
