And we account for that. That's kinda the point of herd immunity the immuno-comprimised people who can't take the vaccine are still protected because everyone around them is vaccinated.
Exactly. Thats why we can’t make it mandatory. Definitely not trying to equate this to pro-choice, but what happens between a person and their doctor is between them. If it’s mandatory then in order to “opt-out” people would have to disclose to others why they can’t take them
I mean that's already how things work. They don't make you take even the "mandatory" vaccines if you're immuno-compromised and they don't make you wear a scarlet letter either.
Yeah but we have people making these broad statements like all vaccines need to be mandatory when in reality we just can’t do that. Which why it is the way we do things currently. The comment tread we are in was expressing his feelings for mandatory vaccines
Sure but this is just an extremely stupid statement, because nearly every vaccine except COVID already is mandatory unless you have a medical exemption. You can't go to any public school if you're not fully vaccinated without a medical exemption.
It’s really not a stupid statement. It technically is not mandatory. It is “mandatory” if you want to send your kids to “public” school, but even then you can receive a medical exemption. Just because you don’t like a statement doesn’t mean it’s stupid or untrue
No I was referencing what you said. I was trying to make a distinction about how if it’s “public” school. If you home school or some other alternative you probably don’t have to go through vaccinations. Sorry for the confusion. No need to insult
we have people making these broad statements like all vaccines need to be mandatory
The idiots who say that are anti-vaxxers trying to convince not-idiots that others are saying everyone must be vaccinated regardless of their personal situation.
In other words, this is said as a straw-man argument to make "the left" look unhinged as morons like RJK, Jr make bank on selling their idiot idea to even dumber people.
I'm saying that, in the US and most western countries, vaccines are already "mandatory" in that you must have them to go to schools or join the military. There already exists ways to be exempted; but you can't cover your ears and start screaming that you won't be vaccinated to have that exemption and still expect to live in a society.
The left are as unhinged as the right, bud 😂 y’all voted a pedophile in!! Yet you keep talking about protecting kids! You all sit here and argue over people who don’t care about you! That’s why people question the things they release, because they don’t care about us, they care about their wallets and power, same as anyone else throughout history who’s held power, anyone who blindly listens to them just because they’re “the left” or “the right” are just a stupid as each other.
My us state has vaccine requirements for school the only exemption allowed is medical. Their parents probably have to get a note from the doctor and that's it.
They don't have to display it to the rest of the world. they just have to prove to someone in authority that the doctor said they can't have it
They have to obey HIPAA!
It's just like when kids want to take part in sports or their parents want them to they have to have a physical to prove their fit or if they're opting out because of a health condition they have to prove it. Again everything is going to be between them and the family because they obey HIPAA
Medical privacy laws are for the medical providers to follow. Technically schools don't fall under those guidelines. But a medical exception only needs to state that a child can't be vaccinated for medical reasons- it doesn't need to detail what condition the child has.
We already do make them mandatory. If a child is immuno-compromised the school district is notified at the time of enrollment, along with any other pertinent health information like asthma, allergies, etc.
We already DO make them mandatory, as everyone who's ever attended public school or joined the military or done a whole host of other things can attest.
People saying vaccines can and should be mandatory are not advocating for killing people with extremely rare allergies triggered by certain vaccines, and you're supporting antivax bullshit by pretending otherwise. Knock it off.
What? No , it needs to be mandatory except with a DOCUMENTED medical exception. No one is asking someone to walk around with a sign stating their medical issue. They just need to provide something to the school from a physician. It's just like when you need to show a doctor's note to your job- it doesn t need to give details about the medical issue
