In Belgium, the polio vaccine is mandatory, and rightly so.
I'm willing to bet that in the next 20 years, some kid in the western world will suffer the consequences of polio, because of the anti-vax lunatics.
- cedws 4mo agoThe polio vaccine is much older and as far as I could find has never had a death attributed to it. COVID vaccines are newer, and their safety profile was not fully understood when they were rolled out.
- koonsolo 4mo agoTherefore the COVID vaccines were also not mandatory.
- jasonvorhe 4mo agoUnless you wanted to keep your job in the medical field or education or had to do lots of travel.
- koonsolo 4mo agoIf I remember correctly, it was a pandemic. So yes, everybody contributed, either by getting vaccinated or staying home, your choice.
