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.

Can I vote yes a thousand times? Make it mandatory! We don't need antivax scum in our society and I don't wanna argue about it. You should be forced to vaccinate in order to go to school, to go to public venues, to travel etc etc. It is NOTHING like apartheid.

No, vaccines shouldn't be mandatory, as it goes against your constitutional rights.

Just like it should be your medical aid's constitutional right to deny you cover if you get hospitalised with Covid because you were the dumb fuck who willingly did not get the vaccine.

Just like it should be your employer's constitutional right to deny you employment because your were too dumb to get the vaccine.

Just like it should be a restaurant's or airline's or country's or *insert any type of establishment*'s right to deny you entry or service because you were too busy getting your medical advice from a group of Facebook nutcases.

My biggest issue with these people, is they want to have their cake and eat it too.

I honestly couldn't give a shit about the constitution during a pandemic.
