  17. >Further, another goal of vaccination is to reduce the overall burden of disease, not just prevent epidemics

    After 80% that's the personal problem of unvaccinated.

    >That requires much higher than 80% compliance

    Do you have a reference that goes with that?

  18. That's is pretty much my opinion as well. Vaccination should be a personal choice, not dictated by the government. Government can and should popularize vaccination and organizers of anti-vaxx campaigns should face public backlash. But people like myself who keep quiet about themselves not getting vaccinated for various reasons should not be ostracized en masse. There are whole spectrum of legit reasons from not taking vaccines from outright bad effects from taking vaccines to personal discomfort from getting one.

    All we need is 80% vaccination to prevent epidemics. We also need to stop treating small outbreaks as something deserving national headlines. 30 people sick and no fatalities is not a cause for panic. It's just one county in one state that is particularly full of anti-vaxx fools. It went beyond 78% that's how they got they outbreak.

    In most places it is well above 80% and forcing people to go beyond that just to achieve higher stats is just unjustified violence and persecution of majority against minority. A stupid SJW dictatorship, nothing less.

    Are you saying that working poor do not have opportunities?

    How would you explain that Lorenz curve of AGI in 2016 looks like perfect exponential curve where each next strata earns X% more and is of Y% less size than the previous one (X and Y being fairly constant over 20 or so stratas)?

    Looks like Boltzmann distribution in the presence of constant force without any boundaries between layers: people who want, who work hard and have qualities make it through the layers. People who slack who do no not work hard enough.

    Source: my own calculations on 2016 data from IRS on AGI.

    PS. I watched myself on the example of first generation immigrants in my mosque how they manage to get better or worse depending on their attitude to life.

    Stop singing the old ballad of working poor.

    Why do we keep inventing new words? Acts of foreign government are either "espionage" or "sabotage".

    And it has been the extension of diplomacy for a long long time. Like in "war is extension of diplomacy".

    Espionage is normal. Sabotage is less normal and more hostile, but it's much less than an act of war....
