I find vaccine mandates to be a solution to a problem that will never exist. in most countries, 80% was willing to get vaccinated before any kind of restrictions happened. This shows the trust and faith most people have in the benefit of the vaccine to their daily lives. If no one trusted the vaccine, then using political force would be the most destructive influence you can have on a democratic society where the majority is supposed to agree with the rules set forth.
Trying to force the last diverse 20% to take something they chose not to is also a clear violation of the Nuremberg code. There's two rules in the code which I believe is relevant for denying participation in vaccinations and their imposed restrictions.
"The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion"
"The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment."
The second point is mostly related to vaccinating younger people "for the benefit of the populace" If you claim something benefits the group, you still have the responsibility of proving that it benefits the group. which for very young people, natural infection might similarly benefit the group just as much as taking the vaccination.
Whether or not the Nuremberg code has any standing in todays courts is debatable but as this experiment has no defined solution it is clear that someone should be able to deny participation.
- empthought 5y agoThese vaccines are not experimental. Stop reading antivax trash.
- peteradio 5y agoHow will these vaccines continue to fare in 2 years? Don't know? Sounds like we are testing some sort of hypothesis with observation.
- empthought 5y agoHow will 5G continue to fare in 2 years? Don't know? Sounds like mobile phone companies are Nazi war criminals.
- peteradio 5y agoThis doesn't sound likely a completely hinged argument. Can you flesh out the point you are making?
- empthought 5y agoHow would fleshing out the point continue to fare in two years? Don't know? Sounds like we are testing some sort of hypothesis with observation. The point is that the inability to predict the future does not necessarily imply that some action is "experimental," despite your insinuation that it does.
- peteradio 5y agoUntil we are learning only second order impacts about these vaccines then I'd argue we are still in the experimental phase. Perhaps you have seen enough yourself that the case is closed, but others take a much longer view on things.
- nojokes 5y agoThen every approved medicine is in experimental phase after approval continuously till everyone ever has taken it has died. Then we can compare final numbers and make final conclusion. Or we take data we already have and make the conclusion already today - vaccines we currently have save more people from severe illness and death than they possibly put into risk.
- peteradio 5y agoDepends on your definition of primary and secondary effects. I count future efficacy as a primary effect, wouldn't you? Do we know what vaccine efficacy will be in 2 years? Answer: No, exhibit: Omicron. Most drugs don't have to fight a moving target.
- nojokes 5y agoI think the last sentence is the best advice one can be given about the topic. I have tried to understand people who are against vaccination and have read great deal of this material and it will eventually, rather sooner than later, end up with complete delusional non-sense.
