Vaccinations need to be mandatory.
Farthest thing from an anti-vaxer so please me out. There is a small select group of people who have legitimate reasons why they can't get vaccinated.
Unless you are being told by your doctor you can not get vaccinated, you should get vaccinated. End of story. Heard immunity helps protect those in our society who have serious health issues and can't get vaccinated.
Vaccination should be considered a required civic duty, but I do believe allowances should be made with individuals with certain health conditions.
Unfortunately, I've heard of people getting rejected from places for being unvaccinated because their particular condition, often in the case of rare ones, is one that doesn't qualify for "vaccine exemption" despite there being legitimate reasons for it.
Everyone who's able to should definitely get vaxxed, but the way the system currently works can be a problem for certain people who have actual reasons for medical exemption.
Yes.
I didn't feel like putting all that nuance in my original comment, but all of that is correct.
Any vaccine mandate would have exceptions, and a process for applying for an exception, along with mandatory alternative treatment plans like directions to isolate during periods of higher risk.
Yep. This insanity has got to stop.
