My point is that if the child isn’t vaccinated, and then dies of whooping cough, the uncle who put together a whole organized program to educate the family about the dangers of vaccines bears a lot responsibility for the tragedy.
Yes, even more so than the pharmaceutical companies who lost the people’s trust through their actions.
It would still be a heartbreaking loss if it was just Palestine that’s going to be lost. But the scale of the global tragedy is going to be much greater than just this man’s country. He’s helped to doom, not just his own family, but millions of other people’s families who weren’t even involved.
So you blame him for all of the protest voting that happened? As if people couldn't read the news articles themselves?
He gave the Democrats a chance to realize what lay down that road. He wasn't the one who ignored the voters and in your analogy he also laid out the dangers of not vaccinating and made a doctor's appointment that Mom didn't take the kids to.
