I don't think it's nice or well-manicured at all, quite the opposite in fact. I just can't get myself to a point where I think it's reasonable to force a medical procedure on someone. Forced medical procedures have been used in too many evil ways in the past, always under the guise of a greater societal good. I agree that the societal good (herd immunity) is very real and very important in this case, I just can't square myself with the costs of obtaining it.

Right now we're debating whether it's reasonable or not to "force" a medical procedure on someone. When epidemics break out and people start to die, all the reasonable parts of this debate will go down the drain, and more forceful approaches may be adopted. Keep that in mind when you're thinking about what's "reasonable" and what isn't.
