Given that they work in the healthcare field, it's safe to assume they're not anti-vax.

ah so they probably just know more specifics about the diseases and are speaking out against knee jerk unwarranted quarantine?

still, better safe than sorry i say

Not the same. Quarantine does not involve forcibly putting chemicals into a person's body.

vaccination is good for the population in general. sorry if a few dont want it.

should have mandatory vaccinations regardless if you go to school or not. scheduled vaccines, period

Smart TVs are way scarier than forced vaccinations. Authoritarian capitalism is going to be real fun.

No.
I think some vaccines should be highly encouraged yet not mandated.

I don't consider being healthy and un-vaccinated an aggression against other people, whereas a forced vaccination is a pretty clear and personal imposition on people.
Statistically you are incredibly unlikely to spread a certain infectious disease a vaccine would be mandated to fight. I don't think it would be a stretch to say walking around with the flu or a common cold is a more realistic threat to other people.

They also do have very real risks and side effects, despite widespread attempts to downplay and dismiss concerns as crazy.
It should be up to the individual to evaluate the risks and decide for themselves and their children.

The case of an infected and contagious person with a very serious plague-like disease is in a different ballpark. (When They're a clear serious threat to others incapable of interacting in public without causing tangible serious harm.)

Better safe than sorry. Who knows what diseases and filth he could spread.



..i just bought one of those.. meh

Wait until it is saying DO YOUR CALISTHENICS KOMRADE! BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING!

Vaccines for children should always be mandated. If a parent decides they are ok with not giving a child it's vaccine then that is neglect.

Based on an infinitesimally small chance they one day might get that disease? No.

And would it be neglect for every vaccine they choose to forgo? Or just special ones that tickle your fancy? Im sure I could read off a long list of things you aren't vaccinated for.



Ill tell em to go forth and multiply

If you don't the thought police will come for you.
