Using your own logic, we should let healthy people choose to execute those who aren't immunized the instant they contract disease. It's self-defense, just let people choose. Obviously that's absurd. There is a line drawn in any civil society, to keep it civil. If people want to opt out of immunizations, it should be legal and obligatory to eject them from society: they do not get to go to school in public schools, they can be discriminated against in hiring, they can be excluded from health care programs whether private or public insurance - until they comply. That is absolutely civil behavior, and it's reasonable. And they can still choose whether to participate in civil society or not. And we have very nearly that policy. But the problem in the U.S. is religious exemptions. The flaw with the current coddling of religious folk, is that a person's right to religious freedom cannot be permitted to increase the risk to other people's lives. And yet it does, and we tolerate it so far. The only people who should be exempt from immunizations are those who are immune compromised in a way that their life is at greater risk by being immunized.
