This would be from one of the few governments on earth that are less trustworthy than the average american one. Perception-wise or in reality, does it matter? Anyway, this is an angle americans should be able to identify with. :)
Perception can easily outweigh facts for a lot of people. If we could find a way to trick people into vaccinating their kids we would use it.
The attitude of "they're just stupid people who don't know better" is kind of disgusting when we've got college and university educated people exhibiting the exact same behaviour. Who's dumber? The person that doesn't know better or the person who should know better, because I think it's the latter.
So to all the people who think these are just stupid people. If the US government had exterminated 70 million Americans three decades ago, would you be giving your kids a single vaccine? Or would you expect it to be part of another genocide campaign?
I have no trouble saying that college and university educated people who choose to not vaccinate their kids are stupid people.
Maybe we should try using vaccine syringes shaped like funny animals?
Really? If you were to make a list of all governments on the planet, you would place the federal government lower than most governments on the planet? Maybe if you limit your list to western Europe.
Yes, the Cambodian government has problems, some very big problems. But there are some VERY good people in a number of ministries who really do care about helping people, and they are trying the best they can in a difficult place with little infrastructure, high levels of corruption (both in government and in NGOs here), a lack of basic education and literacy and no funding. Despite all of that things are getting better every year.
If life was improving as quickly in the States as it is in Cambodia, I would actually consider moving back to the States. I honestly don't see that ever happening....
