You're really grasping at straws there. You clearly have strong world views and are using selective evidence to support them. I'm not here to convince you to change your mind, just point out the logical fallacies apparent in your bold claims.

People aren't afraid of change. Not only do people expect change, but they embrace it.

Disproven by product adoption models, showing most people are hesitant to jump on new technology right away. They may not fear it, but most certainly don't embrace it. Those are only the early adopters.

Businesses are afraid of change, people are not.

This just doesn't make sense. Apart from the business having feelings thing, how do you explain new companies coming into the market place or existing companies coming out with cool new innovative products.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Lets start with the most obvious contradiction:

Businesses are afraid of change, people are not.

Businesses cant feel anything. The people running businesses can. So your statement becomes "People are afraid of change, people are not."

Next, you completely ignore Luddites, which are increasing in number with increased autonomy in industry.

Lastly, you completely ignore the standard distribution model of product adoption. If everyone was as you say, we'd all be early adopters.

I agree parents should have the final say, however, unvaccinated children should not be allowed in public schools. Parents should also be held liable if their unvaccinated kid (by choice) is involved in an outbreak that harms others. Yes, the decision is yours but you also need to accept the consequences.

Proactive punishment is the worst thing the justice system can do. Unfortunately, we are moving more and more towards that. You can't legislate everyone into safety and trying to just gets rid of everyone's freedoms.

Justice should only be reactive. If you run someone over, then you should be punished. We need to stop making more victimless crimes like modding your own car.
