Vaccines protect everyone. There is a video a woman put online of her infant with whooping cough. The baby was too young to have received its first vaccination and was infected by someone else. People who don’t vaccinate their children and themselves are responsible for harming others. It’s a public health issue, not a private one.
As for the HPV vaccine, that is different. Nobody gets HPV from sneezing on another person. That should be a matter of choice.
The vector to the baby is likely one of the adults the baby comes in contact with. The whooping cough vaccine only lasts a few years and adults were not being vaccinated with it. It's now on the schedule but only when you get a tetanus shot and how many people are up to date with that?
I am hard put to name any illness that I would get by sneezing on another person. (OK, OK)
>It’s a public health issue, not a private one.
Then take it up w/ Congress a/o your local elected-critter as they continue to allow ‘immigrants’ through our porous borders, ship said vectors to locals unknown (to said locals) and spread infections/critters/disease (many we HAD eradicated in this country).
IMO, I still fail to see where ‘promote the general welfare’ = usurping the choices/Freedom/Rights of any Citizen/parent/guardian.
