Abstaining from Vaccination should NOT be a right

[Shell B]

It is also a dangerous vaccination.

Shell, why do you think the smallpox vaccine contains live smallpopx virus? The smallpox virus is the variola virus. Smallpox vaccine contains live vaccinia virus. It is more or less a cousin but not the smallpox virus by any means and it will not cause smallpox.

I don't think that. It contains cowpox. I am fully aware of that. That does not change the fact that it is dangerous. Saying "it is dangerous vaccination" =/= to saying "it can give you smallpox."

Again, when you get the vaccination, you get ill for a few days. You cannot share a bed, kiss, touch or allow someone else to do your laundry until you are done shedding the virus. It can cause heart problems and rare neurological issues in those vaccinated. Considering those risks, I believe informed decisions trump "the greater good." Furthermore, I believe quarantines are preferable to forced vaccinations.

That's right Shell, it wasn't compulsory worldwide, just in those countries where the vaccines were developed.

That's not true, either. The mandatory vaccinations were state decisions.

Because we can't write laws for other countries.

We didn't write a law for this country, either. The act that passed was one making the vaccine available for the entire nation, not making it mandatory. That was decided by state.

Nevertheless we developed nations went out into the world hunting the pathogen like an escaped con and immunized everyone we could (and not always in a very honest or open manner).

Yes, and vaccinations were not the only method of eradication. In many cases, quarantines did the deed.

Which nations where the ones where smallpox was eradicated first? The compulsory ones. Who eradicated smallpox in those countries where it was not? Organizations from countries where it was.

That doesn't mean it was compulsory in those countries. Providing the vaccine and services to eradicate the disease is not the same as forcing people to take vaccinations.
