Just a reminder that medical consent is your right. You have the right to say no to any medical procedure for any reason.
- minitoar 5y agoPerhaps tangential but you actually do not have the right to refuse quarantine.
- thedream 5y agoYou have the right to refuse _anything_. If someone else chooses to violate your body after that refusal, then that is their own choice. They will live with that karma.
- kevinprince 5y agoAnd the rest of society has the right to exclude you if your carrying a deadly virus.
- Ekaros 5y agoSo why don't we mandate testing from the vaccinated? Isn't that only way to guarantee that they don't spread this disease?
- loudmax 5y agoThis is absolutely true. Rights are also responsibilities. Inasmuch as you have a right to authorize or deny medical procedures on your own body, you are responsible for how your own body affects those around you. When you allow your body to become a vector for transmission you bear responsibility for spreading the disease.
- Ekaros 5y agoOnly way to not spread this disease is quarantine and testing. Why aren't vaccinated doing that? Why are they so evil or callous that they take risk of spreading it? Why isn't there talk that anyone who wants to protect others must regularly take the test?
- rsfern 5y agoSeveral universities I have colleagues at have regular testing requirements for all uni community members, on top of vaccine requirements. Maybe it could be a more widespread thing, but I think you make it seem more one sided than it is.
- recursive 5y agoWhat do you mean? I'm fully vaxxed, and I get tested twice a week. If I ever get a positive result, I'll quarantine.
- HunchedOver 5y agoThe cruel workaround that's playing counter to this is to diminish the person's life and freedoms until they take it out of desperation, and if they still don't give in; forsake the pretence of choice and mandate it anyway.
- thedream 5y agoWindows 10 all over again?
- minitoar 5y agoThe unvaccinated diminish other’s lives by being a vector. Why in your opinion are they entitled to do that?
- HunchedOver 5y agoMedical consent is their right. They have the right to say no to any medical procedure for any reason. Right there in the GP funnily enough.
- minitoar 5y agoI was not disputing that. I was disputing that it’s a “cruel workaround” to eg require that people who work with the public get a vaccination to keep their job. Those who choose not to get to vaccinated are not entitled to force their presence on private individuals and to a certain extent the public.
- HunchedOver 5y agoI'm not explaining why segregation is cruel to you.
- minitoar 5y agoIt’s really more of a quarantine.

- andi999 5y agoSome countries have mandatory measles vaccination. Also (to contradict your statement) if police believes your are DUI they can force to take your blood, is this different in the US?
