No, I won't shut the fuck up, and here's why:

Many people participated in the worldwide smallpox vaccination campaign,
and their efforts helped eradicate the disease from the face of Earth,
saving millions of people. Did they sometimes half-force people to be
vaccinated? Yes. However, those actions have saved millions of lives.

You, and others here, however, are calling their actions "totalitarian"
and comparing it to eugenics. That, my friend, makes you an asshole in
my books, and it makes me sick.

I would really like to see you explain to a mother whose child has been
crippled for life because of polio the reason why there is still polio
in the world. "Yeah, sorry, we could have eradicated this disease years
ago, but we didn't because, you see, our moral sensibilities take
precedence." I'm sure that mother will find solace in the notion that
her child has been a worthy sacrifice for your higher moral sensibilities,
to make you feel like you are not imposing a "totalitarian regime" and
"eugenics" onto other people. What is the life of a child in comparison
to the purity of your mind?

If avoiding "totalitarianism", as you call it, means sacrificing the life
of millions of people, then you can shove your morals where the sun doesn't
shine. You are sick in the mind.

If you want to call this an "ad hominem", then go right ahead. It won't
make any difference.
