My body my choice but only sometimes

I think it really does have the potential to make people skeptical of vaccines in general. People ought to be educated about the risks of not having one and encouraged to do so, but I don’t think they should be forced to. This coming from a left perspective btw, I still think people’s bodily autonomy should be respected

All vaccines have a risk profile. The government has no right to decide what risk profile people should be willing to accept. Also, if you want to be protected get the vaccine. How would someone not getting the vaccine affect you. And the covid vaccine was rushed to market, is largely ineffective, and has caused a ton of injuries.

My take on it is, if enough people are not taking vaccines that diseases like measles that we could have eradicated are coming back and killing people, something should be done about that. Also, when the disease exists in enough people, it has a higher chance of mutating into a form not protected by the existing vaccine, creating risks for vaccinated people.

That said, if you have a legitimate health reason not to take one such as an allergy or something like that, that’s a valid exemption. But the junk science just isn’t.

Yes, it does affect vaccinated people. When a disease circulates among unvaccinated people, it could mutate into a form that the vaccine does not protect against. I also don’t want people dying because they believed junk science and didn’t get a vaccine that could have saved their lives. If one of those people are my friend or my family member, it affects me.

So you don’t think people are smart enough to decide for themselves. They shouldn’t have the freedom to make their own choices about their health themselves. You know better right.

No. I do not think people are smart enough to decide for themselves. That is why measles is coming back

So what makes you think that you have the right to be the final authority over what people do with their own bodies? Why is your opinion greater than theirs? People do not deserve the individual freedom to make their own choices about their own bodies and own healthcare? Don’t you think that is a very authoritarian view? Do you not think that sets a dangerous precedent about what the government can force people to do?

No. I do not believe you should have the freedom to make a choice that endangers others. High unvaccinated populations create a higher risk that the virus or whatever it might be could mutate and endanger people that are vaccinated. Not to mention the danger for those who don’t take it. I read the other day of little kids who died of measles, whose deaths were preventable had they gotten their vaccinations. Is this something you want to happen?

Well i could argue that you are making a choice to harm others because every vaccine comes with risk. I don’t believe you have the right to force people to put a substance in their body. Even if it might make people around them a little safer. People should have autonomy over their own bodies.
