I’m told that the justification for required union dues is that the unions negotiate for everyone and thus everyone should pay. They even go so far as to claim that anyone not paying union dues are making slaves of the poor union leadership who negotiate for them...
Even if I agree that it is best for mass vaccinations against really bad diseases, the concept of forcing everyone parallels the union argument above as well as opens the doors for government corruption to force ALL vaccinations made by any company big enough to pay off a politician (translation... all of them).
If the vaccination argument is so compelling... make it through education and persuade... not mandate.
Forced vaccination? no.
Education, yes. (”Hundreds dead or hundreds of millions dead - pick one.”)
Permit exclusion when involving a susceptible population, probably. (”Your un-vaccinated child is at high risk of either contracting or bringing a preventable disease, find another group to associate with. Medical contraidications exempted.”)
The issue is suitably covered by “freedom of association”.
I am for vaccinations. I am not for government forcing vaccinations. I think school systems have a right to proof of certain vaccinations if you go to their schools.
I am not for government and drug companies making crony deals that force a certain product on people.
Perhaps it is the cronyism that causes tremendous distrust of the contents in vaccines. it is not the virus in the vaccine that causes the trouble. It is the additives that are questioned.
Vaccines should not be political, yet they are. Medicine should not be political.
