If your child is not vaccinated, they should be barred from attending public school

[Papewaio]

Liberty is not 1:1 equivalent to freedom.

Liberty is the freedom within be confines of the social contract which is normally spelled out at the worst case scenario as law and further in towards the normal daily life as politeness. Part of the social contract is that you give up some freedoms to the government for instance the government can lawfully detain someone, an individual doing the same might face kidnapping charges.

Rights also come with responsibilty, best summed up with the catchphrase "Don't ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

Most rights are based on all being treated equally under the law & that ones personal freedoms become curtailed when they impact on others.

So this leads to vaccination which is applied equally to all regardless of race, creed or wealth. The unvaccinated impact the health and well being of those around them.

This is no different to having a speed limit applying to all and to the danger when someone recklessly exceeds it and becomes a danger to others on the road. Does anyone think that it is okay for people to endanger others because they want to drive at 150 drunk and that any damage done to other people is the price of freedom?

IMDHO the damage done to the vaccination program in Pakistan due to the use of it to get hard data on OBL is going to cause more long term harm and deaths then 9/11. This comes down to most people only being able to see spectacular dangers and not the slow burn ie hippopotamus kill more people the lions and bees are more deadly then sharks.
