so.... should government supplement/pay for individuals treatment for COVID if they refuse the vaccine?
Currently there is a LOT of money from the federal government being spent treating people who have it.
should stimulus type spending from government (which i am generally against) be contingent on getting the vaccine?
What duty do healthcare workers have.... governments have.... to those who refuse to take a vaccine that will potentially eliminate this threat?
i am against government mandates. I am against government demanding on pain of punishment, that people be vaccinated.
however, I do wonder what responsibility I have (I will likely get the vaccine when it is available to me) to those who refuse?
I was going to get it when it comes out, but might be changing my mind. I see that about 40 percent of health care providers don’t want it because they think it was rushed. I think I’ll let other people get it first to see how they do and at the same time reduced my chances of getting it.
There is some debate as to should the government mandate everyone get the vaccine.
Is it worth taking a vaccine that has been developed at warp speed and side effects unknown.
Thoughts? Who should be made to take vaccine? Side effects worth risk?

I'd be happy if the vaccine were mandatory, but only if we weren't living in anti-science, anti-vax times. Since the US has so many anti-vaxers though a mandatory vaccine would be a bad idea, so I voted no on the poll.

Of course not. People who refuse to take it, are no danger to anyone except themselves.
There's no law against stupidity in this country. Although if we wind up with a far-left liberal government like some are proposing, that could change.
(All that said, I'm going to be first in line as soon as it's available. Whether the govt thinks it's a good idea or not.)
There is no way to know the long term effects of this vaccine. Just think about other things approved. Thalidomide, great for morning sickness, it only led to a few thousand deformed children. Celebrex (Vioxx), great pain reliever, too bad it made users have heart attacks. Zantac, good for acid reflux, but after several years, turned out it causes cancer. And there have been many more.
No one should force you to inject your body with something you don't want.
