It's a complex issue, sure.

Kind of like abortion, huh? Pro-choice, but if the baby gets born, we make it get shots?
Quote:If one wishes to forego vaccination, and they wish to keep this private, is there any situation that you could conceive of that they would have to bend on this issue in the face of the rights of others, such as the right to health?
No. *giggles* There is no "right to health." You have a societal and self-given right to do what you want with your body. However, even society doesn't give you a "right to health." It's up to you to use sanitary measures to keep yourself as safe as possible. That is your problem. My body is my problem, etc.

Oh, hell no. Medical records of living individuals in the public domain without consent? No, no, no. Carry around a bottle of hand sanitizer and wear a face mask, dude.
