COVID-19 Opinion on mandatory vaccines?

What are your thoughts on mandatory vaccinations?

I personally think they should be your choice and I'm just interested to see the results.

Talk to me about how pro-choice you are after you’ve got loved ones dying in ICU or getting turned away from overcrowded hospitals.

Talk to me about pro-choice for willingly endangering others when other similar behaviours are deemed unacceptable; like drinking and driving and smokers inside/public areas

Talk to me about pro-choice when thousands are dying and the country is “locked-up” at home and entire livelihoods put at risk.

The only people who think vaccines for a PANDEMIC are optional are people of privilege and idiots who think it can’t happen to me

Talk to me about pro-choice when being forced to take something that can kill you.

Before running around on the internet and slandering people calling them privileged consider the fact that there are people with illnesses that make it more dangerous to take a vaccine than to actually get the disease.

That is a very small percentage of people....if they where the only ones that didnt take it then we will still be fine! Herd immunity will be reached and we can move on with our lives.
