Not sure where I stand on the vaccine thing.
I fully support science and think vaccines should be mandatory, especially during a global pandemic that we haven't seen in a hundred years. Or, for example, measle vaccines before exposing yourself to others during a measles outbreak.
I'm also for body autonomy with abortion and what medical care and what vaccines you receive.
It cuts both ways.
In the end I think the failing here is education. Not enforcement. IMO most reasonable people would take the vaccine. The only reason reasonable people don't is because they do not trust government or science, due to lack of education or understanding.
I somewhat agree. But how do you make laws for forcing people to get vaccines, yet let them choose to have abortions, or refuse medical care, or eat garbage food, drink alcohol etc, for example?
Like, how would you define that on a societal level, and also have exceptions for situations the law doesnt account for?
These things dont exactly equate, but I can see why being forced by the government to get a vaccines irks some people. I think it all stems from them thinking that vaccines harm you, or cause autism or whatever. That and that we haven't had a truly deadly pandemic or disease going around in living memory (thanks again to science and our predecessors getting vaccinated) that would cause people to prefer the vaccine over say polio. People are losing fath in institutions and we are not educating our children with critical thinking enough.
