You know I put the public good first in some situations. I'd shut some people up, too. Not one bit embarrassed about it either.
If a person has a Constitutionally protected right to decide what happens with their body ...
Then that right doesn't cease to exist at abortion, or when it becomes inconvenient for the next foolish desire.
That's the problem ... It has nothing to do with the public good, but compliance.
.
It has everything to do with the public good. You'll not change my mind on that, so don't waste your breath.
. . . and YOU won't change your mind on what you believe is the "public good."
This disease has a mortality rate less than the Hong Kong flu of '68, yet you want to force folks to take the product of BIG PHARMA, based on some abstract, "public good?" Who decides that?
You can't prove harm here, nor can you prove this vaccine has a better success rate than the populations own immune systems.
You can't give a good reason why it should be anything more than voluntary. I see no reason why anyone other than high risk populations should take it.
