Liberals need to their nanny to have them take their medicine.

I reluctantly voted no, because I don't believe that anyone should be vaccinated at gunpoint or anything like that.

However, for school entrance? Required for jobs where you work with the public? Sure, I'd be all for that.

As someone who does not believe in vaccines or feel like we are already over vaccinated, the only way you’re going to impose a “mandatory” is if you strap me down and shove a needle into my arm. Because I will not as an American citizen supposedly free to make my own decisions about my health, allow myself to be vaccinated with a vaccine that probably isn’t going to work and screw up my immune system. I haven’t had the flu since 1992 and I’ve never gotten the flu vaccine or any other vaccine since I was a child.

If the government really wanted to stop this virus, they would just have everybody stay home for a month. Patrol the cities in neighborhoods with the National Guard and make everybody just stay home. Instead they’re going to drag this out for probably the next 2 to 3 years.

The rights of one compared to the rights of others - I agree both should be done for the good of all.

I mean at some point we’re all going to die from something. And yes we should do all we can as a society in a country to prevent innocent people from dying. But every one of these vaccines that they pump out the pipeline as quickly as possible aren’t affective. They missed the mark. The vaccine that they’re trying to develop for this coronavirus only has a few of the matching markers of the current virus that circulating. I.e. it won’t be very effective. So what’s the point? You’re messing up peoples immune system’s every time you vaccinate them. It throws it off. Whether you or I like it or not, mother nature designed life on earth for the strong to survive. Meaning, if you really want to get down to it we should all catch this virus as it circulates around the globe and people will build immunity to it. Now I know that humans on earth an hour more civilized but at the end of the day that’s what’s going to happen at some point anyhow. Something is going to come and circle the globe a few times and it’s going to knock the population of this earth down by 50% or more in a matter of a couple months.

If we as a civilized people want to revent that from happening we all have to suck it up and possibly face and economic depression and just have everybody stay home for a month. The virus can’t passed from person to person if we don’t enter mix with each other it will die out. They’re already closing everything so why does everybody have to be out anyhow? Just order everybody home for 30 days across the country and the problem goes away.

Only if Pres. Trump wins re-election. If the Dems win, it'll all be over the week after the election.

^^This. Absolutely no forced immunization. But then that may limit how others choose to interact with you.

Imagine working in oh....a nursing home.

Let's also make it a law where single people must be tested for STDs before they are allowed to have sex with a new partner.

You agree right?

That case only established that compulsory vaccinations required by a STATE (Massachusetts in this case) were legal and enforceable, and then only by that state. It made no allegation that the Fed govt could either make nor enforce a compulsory vaccination.

So to have a nationwide compulsory vaccination, all 50 states (plus DC) would each have to enact its own statewide compulsory-vaccination law.

Considering today's coronavirus hysteria, it probably wouldn't be that difficult. But you never know.
