You know what is good about mandatory vaccinations? People don't have to guess if the person is vaccinated and if the facility is disease-free. 

But, maybe your idea is valid. I propose we let people decide, and those who choose not to vaccinate can have a yellow band on their sleeve. 


Those loons out there who are kicking up a fuss over this aren't going to submit and get their kids vaccinated. "Mandating" it won't make much difference in that regard.

It's not really that difficult. Where kids are most at risk, ie, when the kids are closest to each other and playing around, could easily be controlled. Schools, can't sign up without medical papers. Play areas, membership only, have to provide evidence to get membership.

Just like how the vegetarian society exists to certify restaurants and the like, a "vaccine" society could exist to certify that establishments have in place proper protocols. All you need to do then look for a little "V", or whatever.

"Proving" your vaccination to the establishment is also fairly easy, given modern technology. A smartphone app provided by health insurers could verify your vaccinations. Health insurers would benefit from providing said app, because increased vaccinations bring down their costs.


I can't believe you're equating vaccination to vegetarianism. By eating tomatoes or bamboo you are not endangering anybody. And neither is someone eating porkchops or chicken.

By refusing vaccination you are allowing deadly diseases to find a host, and potentially harm others.

Also, I think you have a very idealistic view if private property, as no level if ownership allows you to conduct dangerous activities on your own property. Guess what, you cannot choose whether to allow smoking in your café, it is mandated by law. You cannot grow and produce cocaine on your property. You cannot host a terrorist organization on your private property.
