I wouldn't be for that either.

Did you miss the first 11 or 36 times I pointed it out? (including 4 times in this thread?)

That is how all of these things go.

Vaccines are good but...
they may cause autism.
they may be used for mind control by the government.
they may have some thing we don't know about in them.
they may not work.
the science is unknown.

If vaccines are good, and you believe the science, everyone who is medically able to have them should be vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

So you think a supposedly free press (many would laugh at that description) and a trustworthy medical industry could stop any type of government overreach with injections?

I think you are underestimating the power our government wields.

No, that is bullshit Rick. You should take that back.

You KNOW (and if you dont, Im shocked) that Im no where any of that. I am 100% for vaccines and trusting doctors.

Being against making it government mandated is nowhere fucking NEAR the causes Autism/Science is questionable lunacy.

I believe vaccines against viruses are good. I believe the government sticking needles in my body is bad. Is it really so confusing for you?

Calm down.

You earlier speculated I'd be first in line for government implanted tracking chips.

I'll accept condescending because I still believe it's ridiculous (out of respect, I'll avoid the term dumb...despite what I might think).




I guess I assume doctors would have to know about it because that's kind of their responsibility. They're generally very smart people who spend a lot of time researching and studying far less critical issues.

As for the 2nd question - I generally think conspiracy theories of any significant magnitude are ridiculous. That's not to say that they don't try to cover-up mis-steps or spin potentially negative stories (& generally fail in that attempt)...just not anything that requires the involvement of more than a handful of people.

Yes.

I just look at it as another type of medical treatment. Would it make a difference if it was in a pill form?

And then later you actually confirmed that you would be open to a chip but whatever. Ill take it back if you think it's unfair

No. I don't want any government mandating medical treatment or prevention for me. What if the government decided that all women should have their breasts removed at age 20 to prevent breast cancer? Are you for that?

Assuming there was a medical benefit for a chip then of course I would be. Who wouldn't?

It would have to be a really big benefit though.

Another amazing extreme here.

What if the government killed everyone the day they turned 25! Would you support that?

Did you read about that in The Atlantic today too?

Why would you not be open to any proven medical advance that could improve or lengthen your life?

Well that's not really avoiding it, but whatever. Im fine if you think it's dumb. I think your thoughts here are pretty terrible, too. It's not a big deal, actually





Of course doctorws are smart. Im not thinking doctors will get duped on a medical level. Im saying they might think they're administering one thing but not know what's truly in it. (I mean couldnt the government buy off a supplier, etc?)


That's a rational line of thinking that I used to subscribe to. I've seen too many people and institutions abuse power to still believe it.

You're taking the conversation a different way now, and there are all kinds of answers to that question.

But back to the topic at hand, you seem to be willfully ignoring the part about the government.

People who dont want the government to be able to track their every move or have remote control over your body?

Start Chopping!

The question was if I would be open to a chip implant.
What about it? rpb asked if I would be open to have a chip implant. I certainly would if it had a much higher medical benefit.

If you are asking if I want government mandated chip implants, then it better be incredibly well tested, open, and highly effective for something more than preventing diseases we can already prevent. Those days are a long way off.

That thought may be worse than the CHEMTRAILS people.

Did you attend some sort of weird conspiracy camp in the past few weeks?

I dont want to be painted as a paranoid lunatic. I think there is a very small chance the bad stuff happens. But Id rather not open that door.

I knew you would freak over that.

I mean they can alter the way the chip works from a remote location. Reasonable assumption in this hypothetical isnt it?


I didnt mean they would control you like a remote control car although I can see how it read that way.

I don't think paranoid lunatics have a worse track record of being right than naive idealists who place their trust in government.
