> States probably can compel people to take it, considering some already require it for use of public services like schools. Public schools likely could not exist in the densities they currently exist if people didn't vaccinate. Likewise, dense urban housing, and many public venues would cease to be viable. Measles spread far faster than COVID; even with something like 95% of the population vaccinated we still have outbreaks in high anti-vaxxer communities. If we didn't require measles vaccines where we do, it would be absolutely everywhere. Likewise similarly conquered diseases like smallpox and polio. > Citizens who are forced to give up bodily autonomy to use basic services they can’t reasonably avoid (roads, public transportation, schools, etc) simply don’t have basic freedoms in my view. To date, no state requires vaccinations to use roads/ public transportation and I find it unlikely that they ever will. But I would support requiring proof of vaccination at the state/ national borders during an outbreak to prevent spreaders. Likewise, large gatherings (including schools) absolutely must require vaccinations. This isn't a matter of freedom/ versus not freedom. If they didn't require vaccination, they could not safely exist. If you choose to opt out of large events, then I support that right. But schools/ colleges/ concerts/ etc, cannot exist in a vaccine optional world.
