If everyone else is getting immunized, shouldn't you be fine with not getting a few shots or any? I don't get it. Then if someone gets sick, they blame the child for not being vaccinated and bringing measles into the school starting an outbreak.
Why do you need to get immunized?

In some ways it is the same notion as everybody else having insurance.
In others then vaccines are not 100% effective (sometimes they wear off, other times they are just not) but if essentially everybody is wandering around at 90% the 10% might not come into contact with each other (it effectively isolates them from other viable hosts) and thus transmission does not happen. More people that get it the more cost it is (treatment for most things people vaccinate for is considerably expensive, and even if you get it in time might have life long lasting impacts), and you also risk a mutation into something worse.
There are also those that can't get them. People with bad immune systems, people recovering from serious health conditions, people allergic to ingredients used within them (many vaccines are made using eggs, wheat and other things people struggle with, though there are increasingly alternatives made for those people).

So you're telling me this is about money and money saving? What viable hosts? Are the ingredients why people get autism?
I one time got a shot on my leg and then I received a mole on my right leg when it healed, but come on, immunizations. Seriously?
Money saving is part of it. Better health outcomes are part of it (hospital stays are expensive).
There has never been a link proven between vaccination and autism. The paper that claimed it was so bad the guy ended up getting his medical license revoked, and the many papers done to try to replicate the results or otherwise establish a link all failed to find one.
Viable hosts. As in people that can carry and transmit and/or catch the virus. If there is only a 1% chance of transmission (because it is 99% effective) then it stops very quickly compared to almost 100% and in doing so one carrier infects more than one other.
I would question whether you got a mole there, and also why they might have picked a leg (unless it was an adrenaline shot for allergies they tend to go for an arm).

I don't know if you posted this thread in the EoF or a staff member moved it to the EoF. I will answer the question seriously.
There are people out there who are not immune for genuine reasons and rely on herd immunity to protect them:
- They are too young to get vaccinated
- They are immunocompromised therefore can't get vaccinated
- They did get vaccinated but didn't acquire immunity
The vaccines we use today are thoroughly tested and their benefits vastly outweigh their risks. Vaccines do not cause autism. In recent years groups of fanatical idiots using a combination of myths and misrepresented science are calling vaccines dangerous. This creates a phenomenon called vaccine hesitancy where parents delay or refuse to vaccinate, reducing herd immunity. As a result, there are increasing cases of vaccine-preventable diseases. Some die. Governments are right to pass laws making it increasingly difficult to avoid vaccines.
If you can vaccinate, you must vaccinate.

You don't.
No! I posted it here originally. But what about the moles it causes? If someone gets vaccinated, they could get a mole on their right leg. I'm not kidding. It's over by the knee area.

You don't get moles from such things. Depending upon the one given (Tuberculosis, usually referred to as a BGC, being among the more notable) you might get a small scar.
Even if they did cause moles then surely the benefits of not getting the disease (and not sharing it with those around you) would outweigh it.

From that
diphtheria
hepatitis B
Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b)
polio
tetanus
whooping cough (pertussis)
Rotavirus vaccine
MenB
pneumonia, septicaemia (a kind of blood poisoning) and meningitis.
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and meningitis C.
measles
mumps
rubella
human papillomavirus (HPV)
Do you want to look up the symptoms for each of those?
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/meas.html
That would be measles.
Prior to the vaccination that would be 90% infection rate in youth. Might be slightly higher than some (HPV is usually sexual contact, though as it often leads to straight up kills cancer in your 20s and 30s then... yeah https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/hpv/statistics/ that is 45,300 estimated per year in the US) but most will be around that (close contact and airborne for a lot of them).
Anyway back to measles
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/births.htm covers how many born per year.
Better part of 4 million there per year to add to the pile, though we can round down to 3 if you want (birth rates are declining as well but that is a different discussion, though a fun one).
Some of the percentages add up to serious big boy numbers there.
0.2% death rate (plenty of really unpleasant stuff on top of that which is not death, also stuff you will get to pay on taxes and insurance to help sort in a hospital) with modern medicine it seems.
That is 6000 deaths a year if allowed to run rampant and nobody got it. 1 disease. We have a few more diseases to go too but I will leave it there for now. I have however seen hepatitis, mumps (do a picture search if you want), the effects of polio and none are in any way pleasant.
Do you know how many people got autism from such things? Zero.
Do you know how many people died or suffered serious side effects? There are some (someone might break a needle, cough on a pill, suffer a bad reaction). It is way way way less than 6000 though, which I remind you is the deaths from just one disease and we have plenty more to add to that.

I am not even convinced you got a mole on the site of the injection. Very few things will be given in the leg that are not serious emergency situations.
There are people that gain new moles, sun spots, freckles and the like as they age, and sometimes moles change too (growing, texture changing and bleeding ones you want to ask your doctor about) but a mole is typically a spot of skin with extra melanin in it, not the result of a needle stick -- do you see heroin addicts, diabetics that inject and other such people with lots of them?

Let's get this perfectly clear @MichaelXD. You are an idiot not worth talking to. This is the last time I reply to you.
The right to choose argument is a lie which hides the reality of the situation. You have the responsibility to vaccinate to protect those who are not immune for genuine reasons. You violate their right to personal safety by failing to vaccinate.
Then you should know better.
This is your fault.

I could claw back 14tb by only doing 2 parity disks but I feel like with 13 disks in the RAID I'd be kind of pushing my luck on rebuild time if I encounter a disk failure
