I suppose you could but it's still their right to decide, smokers and drinkers have seen evidence that it's bad for them but they continue to do it, should we take that choice out of their hands too?

It's not just about people deciding what to do with their own bodies, yes people have the choice to be vaccinated or not, but by not getting the vaccinations it's not just that person who is at risk. Evidence shows that vaccinations work and by vaccinating enough people the population as a whole can be protected.
What are you so worried about? if vaccines are so good you are not going to catch anything from me are you? I don't know how many times I have given detailed reasons why I would never be vaccinated again on here and it's been totally ignored, it seems that people would rather I died or get a serious illness just as long as I go along with their way of thinking, it's ridiculous.
