Let’s separate the debate around vaccine mandates from vaccine resistance and other related debates (like doubts about its efficacy and safety). Is outrage over vaccine mandates really a “GOP stance”? I am pro vaccine but am also for bodily autonomy and am not a Republican. I feel any land that values civil liberties must, as a principle, uphold the slogan “my body my choice”, whether we are talking about abortion rights or vaccines. I feel it is illogical to expect one person to undergo a forced medical procedure so others can have a risk condition they like, when others can reduce their own exposure by skipping activities in public or by wearing protective suits. It makes even less sense when you consider that COVID has a low infection fatality rate and vaccines offer an imperfect degree of protection. A vaccine mandate is essentially arguing that one low-risk condition that is marginally better than another low-risk condition necessitates a breach of bodily autonomy. Consider as well that until this year, prominent civil liberties groups like ACLU were against vaccine mandates because they considered bodily autonomy a fundamental civil liberty and constitutional right. Also vaccine mandates have been so unpopular that until two days ago, the current administration was very consistently against vaccine mandates (https://reason.com/2021/09/09/joe-biden-vaccine-mandate-walensky-psaki-opposed/ https://reason.com/2021/09/09/joe-biden-vaccine-mandate-wale...) but betrayed expectations the public had of them with the new sweeping mandates. Taken all together, I am quite perplexed as to why there isn’t more universal outrage over vaccine mandates.
