Current Events > Would you support the US government making vaccines mandatory?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Mandatory as in if you must get the shots unless you have a health condition otherwise you will be put in jail.

Yeah Im fine with making it mandatory.

Mandatory in the sense that you don't have to, but if you don't you aren't allowed to leave your home or have any visitors for any reason.

---

in the sense that they force them to go in, hold them down against their will and vaccinate them? No...In the sense that you want your kids to be able to attend certain schools and go to certain public places? Yes. Don't want to get them vaccinated? fine, but don't get upset when your child isn't allowed some place. to add to that, this is a decision the child can't make and could put them in harms way, so i'm for instituting some sort of monthly fine on the parents who refuse.

As long as vaccines that don't contain animal products, etc.

Also, who profits from this? The same big pharma that everyone seems to hate. *Thinking hat*

the 2 don't go hand in hand. you can still hate them profiting from it while also understanding that its a matter of public safety and a necessity.You can be FOR mandatory vaccines and against big pharma while fighting against the latter. If while that fight goes on they profit from some necessary vaccines so be it. Its something that needs to happen.

By making them mandatory, you're undermining the efficiency they're suppose to have. So 5-10% of the total population is unvaccinated. How are they a threat to the vaccinated population? If you're so worried, then get vaxxed and leave the Amish communities alone.

yes

Yeah, no. Not the least of my reasons being "That will just piss off people who are on the fence and cause more problems than it will solve."

They should only be mandatory if you plan on interacting with society. The Amish and random mountain men can do whatever the fuck.

Yes, we know you are an anti vaxxer, you don't need to tell us.

Hey look, this guy still doesn't understand how herd immunity works.

Oh I get it. Vaccines aren't THAT effective. Speaking of which, I read an article the other day of a measles outbreak during the early 90s from a high school in Texas despite having a 99% immunization rate.

Sometimes when people get vaccinated they shed a different strain and it becomes a new virus, thats how polio came back in the Philippines this year

This sounds like a terrible idea. People should have the FREEDOM to choose whether they get vaccinated. This is America after all.

Only want if there is a govt program to pay for it.

Yeah, why not?

No. I think everyone should get vaccinated and youre and idiot if you dont, but I have no trust in the government mandating any medical procedure

If the animal products make it work better /at all then fuck vegan and religious sentiments.

Also literally everyone profits.

Whether its actual money or ya know not having you or family die or be crippled by easily preventable disease.

In the current climate an eradication of disease like Smallpox is not possible.

If Anti-Vax was like it is now back in the 70s....smallpox would still kill thousands upon thousands a year.

How would there even be unvaccinated adults then?

I think he's saying some sort of grandfather clause for people whose parents didn't vaccinate them as kids. I mean, that's fair enough, and the no vax issue would clear up after a few generations of all kids being vaccinated.

Of course, that assumes you think it's okay for the Government to use legal threat to force people to do anything.

Isn't that all law when you think about it?

Maybe I'm misreading this, but wouldn't that be the #1 incentive NOT to vaccinate?

Yes, and to some extent I take issue with a lot of legislation, like not being able to collect rain water on my property.

That sounds a rather dumb law. Why should it matter if someone does? Only laws you should need are to ensure people are collecting and using it in a safe manner.

I can't believe there are still places with laws against that

Welcome to Maryland, if we can't find a way to tax you for doing it, it's illegal.

You're putting significantly more thought into his post than he did when he posted it.

Never. Letting the gov't control what you have to inject into your body is never good. They have a history of poisoning and experimenting.

The government also kind of controls what you breathe, eat, and drink through various regulations. Does that also terrify you? Or is the government waiting for mandatory vaccines before they use Big Science as a vector for their evil experimentation?

I'm fine with vaccines being mandatory, just not with the US government making them mandatory.

I wouldn't trust the US government to tell us to put shit into our bodies
