    Crazy that anti-vax has even a fig leaf of personal liberty as a defense. Yes, you do have the right to make your own choices and you can be a negligent parent in 1000 different ways.

    But this isn’t even close to a personal freedom issue. You being a dumb piece of shit is a direct threat to the rest of society. YOU don’t get to make the personal choice to kill MY child.

    It should be simple for these serious diseases: unless you have a certified medical issue preventing it, you have to get the shot. Fuck any objection (personal, religious, whatever…). If there’s some negative side effect or a bad vaccine batch, you get generously compensated for our collective societal fault in harming you.

    Strap them down and jab them, let them bitch and moan about everyone’s children being alive and healthy later.

      Either that or, more gently, ban them from public spaces if they haven’t had the vaccine – schools, public administrations, grocery stores, malls, churches…

        This is the approach I would suggest. I do not agree with forcing people to take vaccines, but if they want to be part of society then this is a reasonable requirement. It’s simply an extension of the duty of care principle we already have for healthcare environments where vaccination and other measures are required for people to work in.
