...I support mandatory vaccination for everyone with no religious exemptions . Legitimate medical exemptions such as allergy would be handled on a case by case basis .

consider the flip side of a mandatory quarantine for individuals with highly contagious lethal diseases - don't think anyone would disagree that it is a gross violation of their freedoms to isolate them like that but it's an obvious case of the common good prevailing over individual freedoms as it should and i doubt anyone with half a brain would argue against mandatory quarantine for such cases

vaccinations are a less extreme version of this

I'm voting no.

End the cycle the way mother nature intended.

while i didn't state it explicitly i'll say it now, some obvious medical considerations would be given on a case by case basis

Mother nature gave us the minds and resources to develop vaccines... so that's what she intended.

Your doubts would be in vain, plenty of people with half a brain argued against mandatory quarantine for infectious diseases. You can look back at the ebola incidents.

And what have people die from preventable diseases? No thanks. Vaccinations is one of the reasons life expectancy is so high and rising.

I don't think this is a debate about if vaccines are good or not obviously they are but its about the precedent it sets. Its like in the name of security we had the NSA snoop on people only to realize they were snooping on people they have no reason to snoop. 20 Years from now someone might come out with a proposal that we should all have implanted trackable chips to ensure our safety and other reasons, whatever like where do we draw the line?

are these the same people who oppose vaccines ?

They should give all kids vaccinations, just a gauntlet of doctors shooting kids in the arms while laughing maniacally.

I got vaccinated for anthrax once and it hurt like a bitch. I had the first couple in a series before I GTFO out of the military (knew Gore wouldn't win election, time to leave army). We had a guy go blind, the army ruled it as psychological.

But seriously, no need to resurrect the measles because an admittedly fantastic blonde got on youtube and started some shit over things she doesn't understand.
