Is that a bad thing?Is NDT a Malthusian?
There are a lot of environmentalists who say that they are neither Luddites or Malthusians, but they advocate for population control and are in many cases anti-tech.

It is odd that vaccinations be brought up. I'm not disputing the concept of vaccinations. However the implementation of vaccines from manufacture, testing, as well as the knowledge gaps of the immune system theory is where problems occur. Currently there are valid concerns regarding effectiveness, immune system compromise, and toxicity from additives which have been ignored and pressed into public policy at the level of Washington for corporate profits. NGT would be forced to be concerned that science is being manipulated for the sake of commercial interests. This is not new. Things are not going well for American public health. CDC announced that US life expectancy decreased for the fist time in 2015. ASD rates are also on the rise.In many areas, it undeniably is. He's not proposing we make policy based on an incomplete understanding of quantum physics. But unless you dispute that vaccination eliminated the threat of Polio, it's hard to argue that no area of science is understood well enough to inform policy.

You're right - it took us 50 years to figure out why the measles vaccine caused childhood deaths from all infectious diseases to plummet: http://www.npr.org/sections/goatsan...are&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=socialHowever the implementation of vaccines from manufacture, testing, as well as the knowledge gaps of the immune system theory is where problems occur.

Minnesota is experiencing its largest measles outbreak since the 1990s following a targeted and intense effort by anti-vaccine groups there to spread the false belief that vaccinations cause autism.
As of Thursday, health officials reported 41 confirmed cases, nearly all unvaccinated children from a Somali immigrant community in Hennepin County. The community has for years been a target of anti-vaccine groups, aided by Andrew Wakefield, a fraudulent former physician.
In the early 2000s, the large Somali immigrant population had high vaccination rates. But in 2008, fear that their children were suffering from higher rates of autism swept through the community. Though research later concluded that autism rates were not unusually high in the community, anti-vaccination activists pounced on the panic. The activists held community meetings and invited Wakefield to visit with scared families. Vaccination rates dropped from 92 percent in 2004 to 42 percent in 2014.
Unconscionable. Absolutely horrific, preying on ignorance like that. Now we see the consequences. We could eradicate this disease if not for these idiots.

as the often mis-attributed quote goesAgreed. On a much lighter note but same principle. My neighbor has the right to "rev up" his overly loud, ear throbbing hot rod all he wants. But when he decides to do it at 2 a.m. and I can literally hear and feel my windows shaking in my house. His right to do that ends.
