Yes

We have the right to our own body and if we are mandated to ge the vaccine then that free choice is being taken away.

 @9GWCGBP from Utah agreed…5mos5MO

You cannot be pro-choice and not allow bodily autonomy at the same time. You cannot argue for 'my body, my choice' and only apply it where it aligns with your personal beliefs. You can't have it both ways. The government should not dictate your personal health decisions.

 @9JM4YLLRepublicancommented…2mos2MO

Yes, they are essential to protecting other children who are too young to be vaccinated

tiny coffins arent cheaper than a vaccine

 @9GNL8F7  from Idaho disagreed…5mos5MO

Medical decisions are a personal choice and knee jerk reactions to public fear should not dictate those choices.

 @9GNM2PB from Ohio disagreed…5mos5MO

 @9GPCQG5 from Pennsylvania disagreed…5mos5MO

vaccinations prevent disease commonly spread by common things. getting vaccinated prevents you and others from getting sick

 @9HN2GZ7  from Nebraska disagreed…3mos3MO

You cannot force someone to inject something into them. If they want to that is up to them. Otherwise, it is basic freedom on what I want to take.

 @9HNKLYQ from Utah agreed…3mos3MO

This take gives the most freedom to the people, and taking the right of bodily autonomy by mandating vaccines truly hurts the people.

 @9HNPLTZ from Maine agreed…3mos3MO

I support his thoughts, you cant force soöeone to be vaccinated and vaccines shoudl be tested at least for multiple years befor they become public available, long term has to be studied.

 @9HN3FLSfrom Maine disagreed…3mos3MO

This is not even a discussion when it comes to preventing disease-related plagues, which have not been seen for over a century thanks to vaccines.

 @9HN347Z from Connecticut disagreed…3mos3MO

If the injection is for protection of others and will help everybody in the long run, you should have to take it.

 @9GGCPWMLibertarian  from Illinois disagreed…5mos5MO

Natural immunity, as long as you take care of yourself and have no health conditions, is very effective.

 @9GGD7XHLibertarian from Nebraska disagreed…5mos5MO

Natural immunity kills people, also there is a high risk of being a host for the virus and spreading it to many others.

 @R3publicanChloeRepublican from Minnesota commented…5mos5MO

Unfortunately public trust in vaccines and public health declined after the COVID vaccine disaster.

 @EffervescentRightWingGreen from New York disagreed…5mos5MO

Thhe measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine has led to a 99% decrease in cases of these diseases in the United States since its introduction in 1963. Globally, vaccines prevent 2-3 million deaths annually. This demonstrates that vaccines have a long history of successful disease prevention.

As for the COVID-19 vaccines, they underwent rigorous testing and were found to be safe and effective by multiple independent bodies. Real-world data shows they have significantly reduced severe disease, hospitalizations, and deaths, even with the presence of variants.

 @S0c1alSecur1tyViper from California agreed…5mos5MO

When we contract a disease like chickenpox naturally, we usually don't get it again because our bodies 'remember' how to fight it off. However, it's also worth considering that some diseases can be severe or even deadly before our bodies have the chance to develop natural immunity.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8yrs8Y

No

Some vaccines that children have taken have shown negative effects, like lowering testosterone or other hormones in their future, making their adult life a lot harder than those who did not receive the vaccine. So while vaccines for preventable diseases are a good idea they should not be mandatory for every child, and we should not force parents to have their children get vaccines they don’t feel comfortable giving their child.

 @9GMFXTR from Texas disagreed…5mos5MO

I feel as though certain vaccines should be enforced. Not only for the safety of the child but for the family and their surroundings. Those whom may be allergic should be given an alternative, so they can still be able to prevent getting a disease.

 @9GMFNL5 from Virginia disagreed…5mos5MO

I believe most vaccines should be mandatory, as they can prevent easily preventable deadly diseases from taking their toll on a child.

 @9GMX7SX from Texas disagreed…5mos5MO

I feel that they are there for a reason. Yes they may cause some issues but it’s better than getting a terrible disease when there was a vaccination or a chance of not getting it.

 @9GMF83L from Florida disagreed…5mos5MO

Vaccines are meant to prevent a human from contracting certain diseases and illnesses. When you don't vaccinate your child you aren't only endangering them but endangering yourself.

 @9FWSGCG agreed…6mos6MO

just like how government and the church are seperated, and you may live differently from the federal law like, ex: amish, or mormon. then if they can decide how to live a seperate life, then everyone else not apart of religious life-styles should be free to choose how they live and what they consume.

 @9FWTM3WCommunist from Louisiana disagreed…6mos6MO

Your life style should only affect you. When you start forcing others to engage with your religion you are encroaching on their rights to not believe in that religion. Vaccines being mandatory is not the same, as you not vaccinating may harm others.

 @9FWTH2C from California disagreed…6mos6MO

Mandatory vaccinations should be required because it is not only protecting you but it is also protecting the people around you and some people might have autoimmune diseases resulting in them not having a strong immune system making it more easy for them to catch diseases.

 @9FWTHBF from California disagreed…6mos6MO

As long as they do not interact with any other community in anyway that could spread the disease including daily necessities like grocery, receiving mail etc

 @9FWTT7G from Idaho agreed…6mos6MO

I'm not really sure how the Amish and Mormons live outside of the federal law, so I can't totally agree with that, but I do side with the overall argument of the comment that people should be able to make their own choices independently and without a government mandate.

 @9FDSML3  from Pennsylvania disagreed…6mos6MO

Not getting vaccinated puts oneself and others at risk. There are no direct long term negative effects from getting vaccinated.

 @9FDYGH8 from Pennsylvania disagreed…6mos6MO

It is crucial that people get to choose what they put in their own bodies. This should not be others' choices. Everyone deserves a right to not take vaccinations.

 @9H2FH5H  from Nevada agreed…4mos4MO

No vaccinations should be mandatory, if a person gets sick because they did not get the vaccine that is their own fault. If a person gets sick because they did get the vaccine that is the distributors' fault.

 @9H2GSFQdisagreed…4mos4MO

if a person dosent take a vaccination it is their fault they are sick. vaccinations should be mandatory.
if a person is vaccinated and gets sick that means they are inresponsible for not watching out for people whos sick

 @9H2GGTLLibertarian from North Carolina disagreed…4mos4MO

Humanity created vaccines because we all were dying from ridiculous illnesses since the dawn of time. If we didn't 'need' vaccines, we wouldn't push them so hard or be striving to make them better. Take your vaccine. You're an adult. Stop acting like a child.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8yrs8Y

 @9GGH4NGPeace and Freedom from Kansas disagreed…5mos5MO

i feel like they shouldn't have to get vaccinated because everyone families don't believe in these types of things including me

 @9GHP7KGRepublican from Illinois disagreed…5mos5MO

Children should not be forced to be vaccinated especially if its the Covid vaccine because we do not know what the health problems may be in the long run.Only time will tell.

 @9GGSFX7Republican from Texas disagreed…5mos5MO

The government has free will and by making/forcing us to take a vaccine, they are taking away our free will, which was fought over for us to own.

 @9GGW75RDemocrat from California agreed…5mos5MO

Vaccinating children will be disease free, but they still have a choice on whether or not to get it.

 @9GQTB3C from Kansas disagreed…5mos5MO

The vaccine isn't nearly tested enough. Most vaccines are tested for years and years before being released, this not being the case for Covid as well as the fact that its shown to have side effects, it's unsafe for people to get these, and it should absolutely be a choice of a grown adult what they put in their body after doing their own research.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8yrs8Y

Yes, but only for deadly contagious diseases

 @9GZR859Peace and Freedom from Pennsylvania disagreed…4mos4MO

Diseases like the black plague back in the day, I would understand, but they made it through the years without a vaccine and did just fine.

 @9FQFW37from Guam disagreed…6mos6MO

It is a violation of fundamental human freedoms.
It is impossible to give informed consent if the procedure is mandatory.

 @9FNKH7H from Ohio disagreed…6mos6MO

People should not have to be forced into a vaccine that they do not want. No one truly knows if they even work fully or would help if a person fell sick.

 @9KCPTQSRepublican from Texas disagreed…4wks4W

A person should be able to do whatever they want with their body and if they refuse then they should not have to get vaccinated.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8yrs8Y

Yes, but with exceptions for those whose religious beliefs forbid use of vaccines

 @9FQFW37from Guam disagreed…6mos6MO

It is a violation of fundamental human freedoms.
It is impossible to give informed consent if the procedure is mandatory.

 @9GJ8D43 from California disagreed…5mos5MO

I don't think you should force them since we live in a free country and we should not force anyone to put something in their body that they don't want to.

 @9GLWVRL from Arkansas disagreed…5mos5MO

i think nobody should be forced to get a vaccine if they don't wanna get one. Kids below the age of 14, that should be up to their parents.

 @9FLDX9RWomen’s Equality from California disagreed…6mos6MO

everyone has the right to their body and their religion. if there religion says no vaccines no vaccines.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8yrs8Y

No, but require vaccination in order to attend public school
